Gakkyusha Holds Guidance as Profits Improve and Dividends Rise Despite Lower Sales

Gakkyusha Co., Ltd. ( (JP:9769) ) has shared an update.

Gakkyusha reported consolidated net sales of ¥10.1 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, down 2.3% year on year, while operating and ordinary profit both rose, but profit attributable to owners of parent slipped 4.0%, reflecting margin resilience amid slightly weaker top-line growth. The balance sheet remained solid with total assets of ¥12.8 billion and an equity ratio of 61.8%, and the company kept its full-year forecast unchanged, projecting 5.0% sales growth and higher profits, while signaling stronger shareholder returns via a planned dividend increase to ¥103 per share for the fiscal year ending March 2026.

Gakkyusha’s equity increased to ¥7.93 billion and its equity ratio improved from 60.3% at the prior fiscal year-end, underscoring financial stability that supports continued investment and payouts. The company’s decision not to revise earnings or dividend forecasts, alongside the hike from ¥90 to ¥103 per share year on year, indicates management confidence in cash generation and may reassure investors seeking steady returns in Japan’s education sector.
