INPEX reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of ¥501.8 billion, down 6.5% year-on-year, with operating profit sliding 14.1% to ¥278.2 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent declining 13.4% to ¥109.4 billion. Despite softer earnings, total assets rose to about ¥8.0 trillion and equity attributable to owners reached ¥4.89 trillion, keeping its equity ratio at roughly 61%.
The company maintained guidance for full-year 2026 revenue of ¥2.0 trillion and profit attributable to owners of ¥350.0 billion, both slightly below the prior year, and confirmed a planned dividend increase to ¥108 per share from ¥100 in 2025. The combination of resilient balance sheet metrics, ongoing share treasury accumulation and higher dividend forecasts suggests INPEX is prioritizing capital returns even as it navigates a weaker earnings environment driven by energy market conditions.
