Nippon Shikizai Swings to Half-Year Loss as Costs Mount

A 21 million yen net loss for the six months ending August 31 marks a sharp reversal for Nippon Shikizai, dragging the company into the red compared to the 49 million yen profit recorded during the same period last year, according to the latest financial results under Japanese accounting standards.

Nippon Shikizai Swings to Half-Year Loss as Costs Mount

Despite an uptick in top-line performance, with revenue climbing to 9.16 billion yen from 8.03 billion yen the previous year, the company struggled to convert sales into bottom-line gains. Operating profit plummeted to 50 million yen, down from 110 million yen in 2025. This contraction in earnings, coupled with broader financial pressures, resulted in a pretax loss of 14 million yen. Consequently, earnings per share dropped to a loss of 10.56 yen, a significant decline from the 23.46 yen profit per share reported in the prior-year period.
