SUMITOMO CHEMICAL COMPANY,LIMITED [4005.T]
TOKYO, Feb 03 (Pulse News Wire) – Sumitomo Chemical Company,limited (4005.T) reported a significant loss in its third quarter ending December 31, 2025 due to a decline in the value of shares held in affiliate company Lavig Refining and Petrochemical Company. The impairment charge resulted in a valuation loss of 4,005 for the A class ordinary shares during the period from October 01, 2025, to December 31, 2025.
This non-cash item will affect individual financial statements but will be eliminated in consolidated results, having no impact on overall performance. The company uses the replacement method for securities evaluation within the quarter, which means the final amount could fluctuate based on share prices in the fourth quarter.
Despite the individual financial statement impact, the impairment charge does not influence the consolidated financial performance. Sumitomo Chemical emphasizes that the valuation loss is a temporary accounting adjustment and does not reflect changes in underlying business operations.
