We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and patronage.
We are pleased to present the Annual Report for the 213th fiscal year (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026).
During the consolidated fiscal year under review, Japan's economy continued on a moderate recovery trend amid improvements in employment and income conditions. At the same time, the outlook remains uncertain due to factors such as the situation in the Middle East, fluctuations in financial and capital markets, and developments surrounding U.S. trade policy.
Against this backdrop, the Shikibo Group has positioned its medium-term management plan "TG25–27" as a stage of "Transformation for Growth," and has been working to create new value and pursue further growth, leveraging the technologies and management resources cultivated through our textile business.
Regarding net sales for the consolidated fiscal year, the business acquired from the Unitika Group in the third quarter made a significant contribution, resulting in a substantial increase in revenue. In terms of profitability, while the acquired business contributed to earnings, operating profit and ordinary profit fell below the previous fiscal year due to costs associated with the business acquisition and increased depreciation expenses from the start of operations at new plants in the food and chemical products businesses. Net income attributable to owners of the parent exceeded the previous fiscal year, primarily due to the recognition of negative goodwill arising from the business acquisition.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥44,554 million (up 14.0% year on year), operating profit was ¥974 million (down 27.6%), ordinary profit was ¥658 million (down 37.1%), and net income attributable to owners of the parent company was ¥950 million (up 4.0%).
FY2026 marks the second year of the medium-term management plan "TG25–27." We have revised the plan from FY2026 onward to reflect the business acquisition from the Unitika Group, raising our FY2030 targets to net sales of ¥68.0 billion and operating profit of ¥4.3 billion.
While the deteriorating situation in the Middle East is expected to continue creating a challenging business environment in terms of costs, exchange rates, and market conditions, we will pursue "Transformation for Growth" toward the achievement of our medium-term management plan. This includes realizing synergies from the acquired businesses to expand domestic and international sales, developing new customers through the construction of new plants for our new core businesses, advancing the development of environmentally friendly materials, and expanding the production and sales of new materials.
The Shikibo Group will continue to fulfill its social responsibilities and enhance corporate value, aiming to realize safe, secure, and comfortable lifestyles and an environmentally friendly society, in order to earn the continued support of our shareholders and all stakeholders.
We sincerely ask for your continued support and understanding.
June 2026
