Matsuya Co., Ltd. ( (JP:8237) ) has provided an announcement.

Matsuya Co., Ltd. reported consolidated net sales of ¥45.7 billion for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, down 5.0% year on year, with operating income falling 41.2% to ¥2.6 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent declining 8.0% to ¥2.2 billion. Profitability metrics such as the operating margin and return on equity weakened, while total assets were roughly flat and equity shrank, reducing the equity-to-asset ratio from 37.1% to 35.0%.

Operating cash flow improved to ¥4.7 billion and cash and cash equivalents at year-end rose to ¥4.7 billion, supported by reduced investment outflows and higher financing outflows, including shareholder returns. The company maintained its annual dividend at ¥12 per share, shifting more of the payout to the interim dividend, but its forecast for the year ending February 28, 2027 projects further deterioration, with net sales expected to fall 3.7% and profit attributable to owners of parent to drop 77.2%, signaling a challenging outlook and potential pressure on earnings despite the steady dividend policy.
