In its latest earnings report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd. revealed a challenging year with a decrease in net sales by 3.8% to 350,114 million yen and a significant decline in operating income by nearly half compared to the previous year. The company also reported a net loss attributable to owners of the parent company amounting to 56,736 million yen.
