Nippon Paper Industries Withdraws FY2027 Earnings Guidance After Twin Disasters
Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd. (TSE:3863) has withdrawn its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, citing inability to reasonably quantify financial impact from a major industrial accident and earthquake damage.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 1220.0bn | 未 定 | — |
| Operating Profit | JPY 25.0bn | 未 定 | — |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 18.0bn | 未 定 | — |
| 親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益 | JPY 10.0bn | 未 定 | — |
| １株当たり当期純利益 | JPY 87M | 未 定 | — |
The company cited two major incidents affecting operations. In May 2026, a tank collapse occurred at the Washington State facility of consolidated subsidiary Japan Dynawave Packaging Co., Ltd. (NDP). Subsequently, the 2024 Kumamoto earthquake in July 2026 damaged the company’s Yatsushiro plant in Kumamoto Prefecture. Management stated that the combined financial impact of both events cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, necessitating withdrawal of all earnings guidance metrics.
The company intends to reissue revised forecasts once it can make reasonable projections regarding recovery timelines and remediation costs. Investors should monitor upcoming disclosures for updates on operational recovery and revised guidance. The withdrawal underscores operational risks in the paper and packaging sector, particularly exposure to natural disasters and industrial incidents in key manufacturing regions.
