An update from Chori Co., Ltd. ( (JP:8014) ) is now available.
Chori Co., Ltd. reported that in the final fiscal year of its Chori Innovation Plan 2025, net sales and overall profit declined year on year, but net profit attributable to owners of parent rose due to lower income tax expenses. Profitability improved as the company shifted toward high value-added businesses, lifting its gross profit margin and enabling it to meet key targets such as ROE of 12.4% and ROIC of 11.1%.
Management highlighted that the stable operation of its SAP system has laid the groundwork for more advanced data-driven management, supporting its transition to the newly disclosed Chori Innovation Plan 2028. Reflecting stronger capital efficiency and a continued focus on shareholder returns, the company raised its year-end dividend above its forecast, resulting in a higher annual dividend and a consolidated payout ratio of just over 30%.
