Meito Sangyo Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2207) ) has provided an announcement.
Meito Co., Ltd. reported consolidated net sales of ¥29.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, up 3.7% year on year, while operating profit fell 12.5% to ¥1.23 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent dropped 35% to ¥3.07 billion. Despite the earnings decline, total assets expanded to ¥100.3 billion and comprehensive income more than doubled, as the company accelerated shareholder returns with a higher annual dividend of ¥55 per share and plans a further increase to ¥80 in the next fiscal year.
Cash flow from operating activities turned negative at ¥708 million, largely offset by ¥6.39 billion in financing inflows after substantial investment outlays, leaving cash and cash equivalents down to ¥3.58 billion at year-end. For the year ending March 31, 2027, Meito forecasts net sales growth to ¥30.5 billion and a 46.3% rebound in operating profit to ¥1.8 billion, though bottom-line profit is projected to decline as earnings per share fall to ¥128.81, suggesting a cautious earnings outlook even as management maintains an aggressive dividend policy.
