HOSHIZAKI ( (JP:6465) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Hoshizaki reported consolidated net sales of ¥485.9 billion for 2025, up 9.1% year on year, with operating profit edging 1.7% higher to ¥51.9 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent rising 3.3% to ¥38.1 billion. Margins softened slightly as ordinary profit dipped 1.9%, but adjusted operating profit increased 5.5%, supported in part by the integration of newly consolidated U.S. entities.

The company’s financial position strengthened, with total assets climbing to ¥575.6 billion and the equity ratio improving to 68.2%, while cash and cash equivalents fell due to heavy investing outflows. Hoshizaki raised its annual dividend to ¥115 per share for 2025 and plans to maintain that level in 2026, and it forecasts 2026 net sales of ¥520 billion and a 7.1% rise in operating profit, underlining steady growth expectations alongside continued shareholder returns, including a planned share buyback.
