FY2024 Business Performance
In the Toiletries segment, sales remained strong as both the domestic and global markets for polyethyleneglycol recovered.
In the Health Care segment, sales declined significantly as a result of withdrawal from the superabsorbent polymer business.
As a result, total net sales in this segment decreased by 33.2% year on year, to ¥30,680 million. Operating profit was ¥176 million (compared to operating loss of ¥1,421 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year).
