TOKYO, Feb 06 (Pulse News Wire) – AGC Inc. (5201.T) reported flat revenue but improved operating profit of ¥1,275 billion for fiscal 2025 ended December.
The company attributed the slight increase in operating profit to cost management measures and favorable pricing policies across segments, particularly in automotive glass and performance chemicals. For fiscal 2026, AGC forecasts continued growth driven by recovery in life sciences and mobility sectors. The company expects revenue of ¥2.100 billion and operating profit of ¥1,275 billion, aiming for a return on equity (ROE) improvement to over 4.7%.
In detail, the building glass division saw mixed results, with European sales offsetting declines in Asia due to price reductions. Automotive glass posted strong gains despite regional variations, while electronic materials faced challenges from reduced EUV mask shipments. Chemicals experienced volatility, with essential chemicals facing price drops but performance chemicals benefiting from higher volumes and prices.
Looking ahead, AGC remains optimistic about its strategic initiatives and plans to enhance shareholder returns through targeted investments and operational efficiencies.
