LTS, Inc. ( (JP:6560) ) has provided an announcement.

LTS reported consolidated net sales of ¥17.1 billion for the year ended December 2025, up 3.1% year on year, with operating profit rising 7.0% to ¥1.19 billion and ordinary profit climbing 21.0%, but profit attributable to owners of parent fell 28.5% to ¥696 million, partly reflecting equity-method impacts and other factors. The balance sheet showed total assets down to ¥10.0 billion while shareholders’ equity rose, lifting the capital adequacy ratio to 46.3%, though cash and cash equivalents declined sharply due to negative operating and investing cash flows and higher outflows from financing activities.

The company maintained its dividend with an increase in the year-end payout to ¥35 per share and forecasts a further rise to ¥40 in 2026, signaling confidence despite the profit drop. For the fiscal year ending December 2026, LTS projects 7.0% sales growth to ¥18.3 billion and a 50.8% jump in profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥1.05 billion, supported by a 34.9% increase in operating profit, while it also recorded the deconsolidation of ISIS Co., Ltd. and adopted revised accounting standards that affected reported figures.
