TOKYO, Feb 13 (Pulse News Wire) – Artience CO.,LTD. (4634.T) reported a decline in operating profit for the fiscal year ended December 2025 due to exchange rate impacts and asset impairments.
Despite a reduction in revenue, the company saw improved operational performance quarter-over-quarter, surpassing previous levels. However, significant impairment losses were recorded in North America and Europe due to reduced demand for carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions used in electric vehicle batteries. Key highlights include strong performances in overseas markets driven by optical adhesives for displays and paint products for cans. Domestic operations also showed improvement through restructuring efforts and increased liquid ink sales.
However, the LiB CNT dispersion business continued to struggle despite higher sales volumes, leading to expanded losses. For the fiscal year ending December 2025, the company's consolidated net income attributable to parent shareholders decreased to ¥106.1 billion compared to the prior year, primarily due to asset impairments in Kentucky, Hungary, and China, along withincreased tax liabilities in Turkey. Looking ahead, management anticipates challenges in the near term, particularly in North America and Europe, where EV market expansion has slowed significantly. They expect gradual recovery once market conditions improve.
The company projects a return to growth in 2026, forecasting revenues and operating profits to increase by 0.5% and 4.1%, respectively.
