Kobe Bussan Co., Ltd. ( (JP:3038) ) has issued an announcement.
Kobe Bussan reported consolidated net sales of ¥141.6 billion for the three months ended January 31, 2026, up 6.9% year on year, with operating profit rising 19.6% to ¥10.9 billion. However, ordinary profit dropped 43.5% to ¥8.8 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent fell 44.2% to ¥5.9 billion, leading to a sharp decline in earnings per share despite a solid top-line expansion.
The company’s financial position remained relatively stable, with total assets of ¥248.1 billion and an equity ratio of 63.3%, while maintaining its dividend policy and forecasting a slight 2.7% rise in full-year net sales to ¥566.5 billion. Full-year operating profit is projected to grow 7.8% to ¥43.0 billion, but ordinary profit and net income are expected to decline, suggesting higher costs or non-operating pressures even as Kobe Bussan pursues moderate growth and a planned increase in its annual dividend to ¥32 per share.
