An announcement from Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7226) ) is now available.
Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo reported consolidated net sales of ¥161.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, up 14.9% year on year, with operating profit rising 33.4% to ¥8.9 billion and ordinary profit up 37.5% to ¥9.5 billion. Profit attributable to owners of parent, however, fell 36.6% to ¥3.7 billion, while the equity ratio declined to 55.7% and operating cash flow decreased, reflecting higher investment outflows and a modest increase in cash at period-end.
The company maintained an aggressive shareholder return stance with a total annual dividend of ¥140 per share, implying a high consolidated payout ratio of 145.8%, and it plans to lower the dividend to ¥120 per share in the next fiscal year. For the year ending March 31, 2027, Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo forecasts further sales growth to ¥180 billion but expects operating and ordinary profit to decline, even as profit attributable to owners of parent is projected to rebound to ¥5.0 billion, signaling a shift toward earnings recovery despite pressure on margins and capital structure.
