Nippon Denko Co.,Ltd. [5563.T]
TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Nippon Denko CO.,LTD. (5563.T) reported its fiscal first quarter results for the year ending December 2026.
Revenue reached ¥773 billion, while operating profit stood at ¥27 billion. On a real performance basis, excluding inventory impacts and one-time expenses, operating profit was ¥53 billion. Consolidated net profit attributable to parent shareholders increased by 6% to ¥14 billion compared to the same period last year.
The company attributed the growth to higher volumes of ash processing in its waste incineration resource recovery division and stable melting slag operations. However, some product manufacturing contracts ended due to a decline in demand for certain materials used in battery production, leading to temporary costs. Looking ahead, Nippon Denko forecasts revenue of ¥800 billion for the full year, with operating profit expected to reach ¥70 billion.
The outlook reflects anticipated improvements in manganese ore prices and ongoing cost reduction measures across various divisions.
