Osaka Organic Chemical Industry <4187> said after the close of trading it reported first-quarter (December 2025 to February 2026) consolidated results, with sales of \9,072 million (up 6.5% year-on-year), operating profit of \1,832 million (up 34.2%) and net profit of \1,285 million (up 24.2%), marking strong profit growth.

While the Chemical Products segment saw lower sales due to sluggish automotive coatings demand and reduced production by customers in display adhesive applications, the Electronic Materials segment performed strongly. Driven by expanding semiconductor demand centered on generative AI, its mainstay ArF resist raw materials posted solid growth. In addition, EUV resist raw materials for advanced applications rose sharply, supporting overall performance.

The company maintained its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending November 2026, projecting sales of \37.5 billion (up 3.4% year-on-year), operating profit of \6.4 billion (up 3.4%) and net profit of \4.5 billion (down 34.7%).
