TOKYO, Feb 13 (Pulse News Wire) – Kanto Denka Kogyo CO.,LTD. (4047.T) reported flat revenue and operating profit for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period last year.
However, the company saw a 13.9% increase in ordinary profit due to increased foreign exchange gains. For the quarter ending December 31, 2025, revenue was -¥470 million, up slightly from -¥470 million in the corresponding period of 2024. Operating profit remained unchanged at ¥26 billion. Ordinary profit rose to ¥35 billion from ¥30 billion, marking a 13.9% improvement. The company attributed the stable performance to higher sales of specialty gases and improved chemical products, offsetting losses from the Shikawa factory fire incident and reduced technical support fees for battery materials.
Despite these challenges, the firm maintained its earnings outlook, revising upward its forecast for both revenue and operating income based on stronger-than-expected sales growth in precision chemicals. In addition, the company noted a reduction in inventory valuation losses, contributing to the overall positive trend. Capital expenditures decreased by ¥25 billion to ¥60 billion, while depreciation expenses increased by ¥5 billion to ¥66 billion. Research and development spending also grew by ¥4 billion to ¥17 billion. Looking ahead, Kanto Denka expects continued stability in its operations, driven by ongoing improvements in key segments such as basic chemicals and precision chemicals.
