Kuraray Co Ltd has released its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended 31 Dec 2023 (1 Jan-31 Dec 2023). Sales in this segment were Yen 189,794 M (up 9.0% year on year), and segment income was Yen 10,323 M (up 20.4% year on year). In the methacrylate business, results were affected by higher raw material and fuel prices in addition to a delay in demand recovery for electric and electronic devices. In the medical business, sales of cosmetic dental materials, mainly in Europe and the United States, remained brisk. In the environmental solutions business, despite the effects of economic deceleration in Europe, demand increased for drinking water and other applications in North America, and sales of activated carbon remained steady.

Kao Cosmetics Business sales decreased 5.1% compared with the previous fiscal year to Yen 238.6 bn. Currency translation accounted for a 1.6% increase and sales decreased 6.7% on a like-for-like basis (breakdown of the decrease: 7.3% decrease by volume, 0.6% increase by price). Core net sales decreased 1.8% to 246.9 bn yen. On a like-for-like basis, core net sales decreased 3.4%. Sales decreased in Japan due to the impact of factors including the recording of structural reform-related product returns and restraints on travel retail proxy purchasing in South Korea. Core net sales increased as sales of the Kao Group's 'G11' global strategy brands, including the KANEBO prestige skin care and makeup and KATE makeup brands, remained strong. Sales decreased substantially in China due to key opinion leaders voluntarily refraining from activities, restraints on sales promotion activities and other factors due to local reaction to Japan's discharge into the ocean of ALPS-treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. In a weak market in Europe, sales increased due to steady performance by new products from Molton Brown and a successful renewal of promotions for new and existing products from the SENSAI brand. Operating income decreased Yen 19.5 bn compared with the previous fiscal year to negative Yen 5.4 bn due to recording Yen 10.7 bn for a provision for product returns, disposal of raw materials and other expenses for structural reforms. Core operating income was Yen 5.3 bn, a decrease of Yen 8.8 bn.

Sales increased 2.5% compared with fiscal year (FY) 2020 to Yen 239.3 bn. On a like-for-like basis, sales decreased 0.6%. In Japan, the Kao Group focused on building bonds between customers and brands, including online counselling and the start of in-house e-commerce operations, as it vigorously promoted structural reforms. The Kao Group created hit products including KATE, which captured top market share for makeup brands, arising from new offerings for lifestyles in which the COVID-19 pandemic has made mask-wearing a common practice and various measures using digital technology. However, sales were significantly impacted by the delay in market recovery due to the disappearance of inbound demand and repeated declarations of a state of emergency, among other factors. In Asia, in addition to continuing strong sales in China, mainly through the e-commerce channel, of freeplus, which is hypoallergenic and contains Japanese and Chinese botanical extracts, and Curel, a derma care brand, the Kao Group began a full-scale rollout of its prestige cosmetics, including the start of duty-free sales on Hainan Island. In Europe, sales of the Molton Brown and SENSAI brands grew substantially as a result of promoting online merges with offline (OMO). Operating income increased Yen 5.1 bn compared with FY 2020 to Yen 7.5 bn.
