The company reported a slight decline in net sales to ¥1,512.1 billion, a 1.4% decrease compared to the previous year.

AGC Inc. experienced significant improvements in profitability, with profit before tax reaching ¥73.2 billion, a substantial turnaround from the loss reported in the previous year.

The profit attributable to owners of the parent also saw a remarkable recovery, reaching ¥39.5 billion. Segment-wise, the Automotive division showed strong growth with a 2.8% increase in net sales, driven by higher shipments in Japan and improved product mix. Conversely, the Architectural Glass and Electronics segments faced declines in net sales due to lower shipments and pricing pressures. The Chemicals segment also reported a decrease in net sales, primarily due to declining PVC prices. Looking ahead, AGC Inc. maintains a cautious yet optimistic outlook, focusing on strategic initiatives to enhance profitability and navigate market challenges, while continuing to leverage its diverse portfolio to drive growth.
