Hosokawa Micron Cuts Interim Profit Outlook Despite Higher Sales

Hosokawa Micron Corporation ( (JP:6277) ) just unveiled an update.

Hosokawa Micron Corporation has revised its consolidated forecast for the interim period of the fiscal year ending September 2026, projecting higher net sales but significantly lower profits than previously expected. The company now expects net sales of 39.9 billion yen, up 3.6% from the prior forecast, while operating profit is projected to fall 41.7% and profit attributable to owners of the parent to decline by 50%, resulting in a sharply lower interim net income per share.

Management attributed the weaker profit outlook mainly to delayed profit improvement in Europe amid uncertain social and economic conditions and to business restructuring costs recorded for its German operations in the first quarter. Hosokawa Micron is currently reassessing its full-year consolidated forecast and indicated that it will promptly disclose any updates, highlighting ongoing operational challenges in its European business despite the benefit of a weaker yen on reported sales.
