Kureha Corporation Reports 24% Increase in Construction Revenue, Operating Profit Declines by 14.3%

Kureha Corporation has reported its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The company experienced a decline in revenue and profit across several metrics. Revenue for the period amounted to ¥36.54 billion, representing a 12.9% decrease from the same period last year. Operating profit fell sharply by 27.2% to ¥2.329 billion, while profit before tax decreased by 24.7% to ¥2.832 billion. The profit attributable to owners of the parent saw a decline of 28.2%, reaching ¥2.061 billion. Total comprehensive income also dropped significantly by 58.8% to ¥2.936 billion. In the construction segment, revenue increased by 24.0% year-on-year to ¥2.389 billion due to growth in both public and private-sector construction projects. However, operating profit in this segment declined by 14.3% to ¥126 million, attributed to changes in the sales mix. Conversely, the environmental engineering category and other business operations both witnessed declines in revenue and operating profit due to a reduction in the volume of waste processing. This led to a 7.0% year-on-year decrease in revenue to ¥4.085 billion and a 31.6% drop in operating profit to ¥373 million. The company’s total assets as of June 30, 2025, stood at ¥342.821 billion, reflecting a decrease of ¥2.476 billion since March 31, 2025. Current assets also decreased by ¥6.624 billion to ¥98.149 billion primarily due to unspecified factors. Despite these challenges, Kureha is promoting sustainability-focused management aimed at enhancing long-term corporate value and contributing to a sustainable society. The company is implementing its Rolling Plan 2025 to adapt to changes in the business environment. The outlook remains uncertain due to global economic conditions and potential impacts from U.S. trade policy developments.
