TOKYO, Jan 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Kawaguchi Chemical Industry CO.,LTD. (4361.T) reported its fiscal year 2025 November interim results, which showed higher-than-expected operating profit, ordinary profit, and net income compared to previous forecasts.
However, revenue fell slightly short of initial projections. For the period ending Nov. 30, 2025, the company's revenue was ¥8.814 billion, below the previously forecasted ¥9 billion. Operating profit reached ¥426 million, up from the estimated ¥320 million. Ordinary profit stood at ¥404 million, surpassing the earlier projection of ¥320 million.
Net income attributable to parent shareholders came in at ¥298 million, exceeding the prior estimate of ¥220 million. The discrepancy stems from a mixed economic environment characterized by robust domestic demand but weakened external demand due to tariff policies. While general product sales were sluggish, high-value-added products such as medical rubber goods and specialty synthetic materials saw strong growth thanks to effective promotional activities. Additionally, improvements in export margins due to a weaker yen, reduced inventory costs, and lower pension expenses contributed to the positive earnings performance despite the slight miss in revenue targets. Kawaguchi Chemical attributed the improved profitability to precise production and sales activities aligned with customer needs, alongside favorable exchange rate effects.
