Daiichi Kigenso Kagaku Kogyo Co., Ltd. (hereafter, the Company) reported full-year FY2026/3 results with net sales of JPY 35,751 mn (+6.3% YoY), operating profit of JPY 3,479 mn (+52.4% YoY), ordinary profit of JPY 3,255 mn (+414.8% YoY), and profit attributable to owners of parent (hereafter, net profit) of JPY 2,514 mn (+217.4% YoY).
Net sales increased mainly because sales in the Company’s core automotive catalyst areas were firm, rising 7.7% YoY to JPY 22,424 mn, while the energy areas also supported top-line growth, rising 20.8% YoY to JPY 1,686 mn.
On the profit front, although expenses related to human capital investment, R&D expenses, and costs associated with the launch of a new core system increased, profit rose sharply on the back of higher net sales, the elimination of profit pressure from high-cost inventories, and lower cost burdens following the full-scale operation of the Vietnam subsidiary.
