Resonac Holdings: Semiconductor segment shines as core profit rises in Q3

Resonac Holdings Corporation reported consolidated revenue of 986,263 million yen for the first nine months of 2025, a 4.2% decrease year-over-year. Despite this, core operating profit rose by 5.8% to 72,831 million yen. The Semiconductor and Electronic Materials segment was a key driver, achieving a record high in quarterly core operating profit and increasing its nine-month core operating profit by 40% to 74,000 million yen, largely due to higher sales volumes and advanced semiconductor demand.

However, other segments faced challenges. The Mobility segment saw revenue decrease by 11.8% and core operating profit drop by 48.2%, impacted by divestitures and reduced demand. The Chemicals segment experienced a 16.5% revenue decline and a core operating loss of 7,399 million yen due to weak market conditions and inventory valuation losses, while the Crasus Chemical segment’s revenue fell by 8.1%, with core operating profit decreasing by 35%.

Total assets decreased by 102,940 million yen to 2,069,686 million yen, primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The company maintains its full-year consolidated earnings forecast, anticipating 1,422,000 million yen in revenue and 98,000 million yen in core operating profit.
