MEGMILK SNOW BRAND Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2270) ) has provided an update.

MEGMILK SNOW BRAND reported flat consolidated net sales of ¥615.8 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, while operating profit slipped 4.5% to ¥18.3 billion and ordinary profit edged up 1.1% to ¥20.5 billion. Profit attributable to owners of the parent surged 136.6% to ¥32.9 billion, largely boosting basic earnings per share to ¥524.82 amid reduced shares outstanding and higher equity in earnings of affiliates.

The company’s equity ratio eased to 55.7% as total assets declined slightly to ¥426.8 billion, and cash and cash equivalents fell to ¥14.0 billion following sizable net cash outflows from financing activities. MEGMILK SNOW BRAND kept its annual dividend at ¥100 per share and forecasts fiscal 2027 sales growth to ¥645.0 billion and a 15.0% rise in operating profit, but expects profit attributable to owners of the parent to drop 25.5%, signaling a more moderate earnings profile after the one-off jump in the latest year.

On a non-consolidated basis, net sales dipped 0.6% to ¥325.5 billion and operating profit declined 16.7%, yet non-consolidated profit nearly tripled due to non-operating factors. The group also reported the exclusion of three subsidiaries from the scope of consolidation, which, together with its capital policy and steady dividend guidance, suggests a continued focus on portfolio streamlining and shareholder returns.
