Max Co. Corrects Pension Accounting as Profits and Margins Continue to Climb

Max Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6454) ) has shared an announcement.

Max Co., Ltd. has reported consistent growth in consolidated net sales from ¥84.3 billion in FY2022 to ¥91.8 billion in FY2024, with operating profit rising from ¥9.9 billion to ¥14.5 billion and operating margins improving to around 16%. Segment data show the industrial equipment business as the main earnings driver with operating margins above 20%, while the HCR equipment segment is moving from loss toward profitability, and the group plans further modest sales and profit increases in FY2025.

The company announced a correction to its supplementary explanatory notes for the year ended March 31, 2025, after discovering an error in the accounting treatment of its defined benefit pension plan. Pension assets had been netted incorrectly with other retirement benefit items and recorded as a liability, and after correction total assets for FY2024 were revised to ¥126.6 billion and the equity ratio to 83.7%, slightly lowering the previously reported equity ratio but clarifying that pension assets exceed pension liabilities.
