An announcement from Harada Industry Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6904) ) is now available.

Harada Industry reported fiscal 2025 consolidated net sales of ¥42.2 billion, down 5.9% year-on-year, but significantly improved profitability with operating profit up 38.7% to ¥2.4 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent surging to ¥433 million. Earnings per share rose to ¥20.51, return on equity reached 3.2%, and stronger operating cash flow lifted cash and equivalents to ¥6.98 billion, while the capital adequacy ratio improved to 38.2% amid a modest reduction in total assets.

The company kept its annual dividend at ¥7.5 per share for fiscal 2025 but plans to increase it to ¥10.0 in fiscal 2026, implying a more shareholder-friendly capital policy alongside improved earnings. Management forecasts a further decline in net sales to ¥39.0 billion and lower operating and ordinary profit for fiscal 2026, yet expects profit attributable to owners of parent to rise to ¥600 million, signaling a focus on margin management and cost control despite a softening topline environment.
