TOKYO, Feb 06 (Pulse News Wire) – Nippon Coke & Engineering Company,limited (3315.T) reported a significant increase in its consolidated operating profit for the third quarter ending March 2026 compared to the same period last year. The improvement was driven primarily by higher production volumes and reduced manufacturing costs due to the operation of the 2A furnace since September 2024 and a shift towards more efficient operations centered around healthy furnaces.
For the fiscal year ending March 2026, the company recorded an operating profit of ¥800 billion, marking a substantial rise from the previous year's figure. Key factors contributing to this growth included increased sales volume and cost reductions across various segments.

In detail, the company’s operating profit for the third quarter improved by ¥6.200 billion compared to the corresponding period in 2025.
Notable contributors to this positive trend were favorable market conditions and exchange rates, which added ¥6.200 billion to the bottom line, along with a reduction in manufacturing costs amounting to ¥48 billion. Other miscellaneous gains also contributed positively, adding ¥4 billion to the total. Despite these improvements, certain challenges persisted, leading to a decrease in fuel and resource-related revenues by ¥54 billion. However, the overall impact was mitigated by additional income sources such as subsidies and other non-operating benefits.
