KeePer Technical Laboratory Co.Ltd. ( (JP:6036) ) just unveiled an announcement.

KeePer Technical Laboratory reported first-half FY06/2026 net sales of ¥12.94 billion, up 6.9% year on year, driven by growth in both its Products and LABO businesses. However, gross profit was flat at ¥6.60 billion as cost of goods sold rose 15.5%, compressing profitability despite the higher revenue.

Operating profit for the half fell 8.6% to ¥3.69 billion and the operating margin declined 4.8 points to 28.5%, with LABO segment profit dropping over 20% amid higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Even so, net profit surged 163.5% to ¥7.24 billion, lifting the company slightly above its full-year net profit forecast already at the halfway stage, suggesting significant extraordinary income and creating a divergence between underlying operating performance and bottom-line results.
