SAKATA INX CORPORATION reported higher revenue and operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2026, according to its financial results briefing material published on November 6, 2026. Net sales rose to 217.1 billion yen from 192.0 billion yen a year earlier, while operating income increased to 13.4 billion yen from 11.9 billion yen.

The company attributed the improvement to higher printing ink volumes, price increases, exchange-rate effects and growth in digital and specialty products. Sales increased in Japan, Asia, the Americas, Europe and digital and specialty products during the nine-month period.

Americas remain a pressure point

Performance was uneven across regions and businesses. Operating income increased strongly in Japan and Europe, while operating income declined in Asia, the Americas and digital and specialty products. In the Americas, higher sales were offset by rising costs and temporary expenses.

Net income attributable to owners of the parent rose to 9.8 billion yen from 9.7 billion yen. Earnings per share reached 202.51 yen, compared with 197.92 yen in the prior-year period.

Full-year outlook stays unchanged

SAKATA INX retained its fiscal 2026 forecast for net sales of 286.5 billion yen, operating income of 17.0 billion yen and net income attributable to owners of the parent of 11.8 billion yen. The company said it expects to meet the forecast as improvements in Japan and Europe combine with recovery in parts of Asia and profitability measures in the Americas and performance chemicals.

Management also maintained its annual dividend forecast of 100 yen per share. Rising raw-material prices linked to geopolitical risks and inflation remain potential constraints on orders and customer demand.
