KEL Corporation reported consolidated net sales of ¥9.42 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, a 5.3% year-on-year increase, but operating profit fell 52.0% to ¥228 million and profit attributable to owners of parent declined 44.0% to ¥224 million. Despite weaker profitability, the company’s financial position remained robust with total assets of about ¥18.6 billion, an equity ratio of 81.6%, and stable share count and treasury stock levels.

The company kept its dividend policy unchanged, having already paid an interim dividend of ¥40 per share and forecasting a full-year total of ¥80 per share, signaling a commitment to shareholder returns amid profit pressure. For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, KEL forecasts net sales of ¥12.5 billion, up 5.3% from the prior year, but expects significant declines in operating and ordinary profit and earnings per share, suggesting margin compression and a more challenging earnings environment even as top-line growth continues.
