Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4534) ) has provided an announcement.

Mochida Pharmaceutical said an independent auditor has completed its interim review of the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended Dec. 31, 2025, clearing the way for a previously approved secondary offering of common shares. The company confirmed there are no changes to the figures it released on Feb. 6, underscoring stability in the disclosed numbers as it taps equity markets.

For the nine-month period, Mochida reported net sales of ¥87.5 billion, up 8.4% year on year, with operating profit rising 3.9% to ¥7.5 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent increasing 13.2% to ¥6.3 billion. Total assets expanded to ¥182.2 billion and net assets to ¥137.4 billion, suggesting an improving balance sheet as the company prepares for its share offering.

Basic earnings per share climbed to ¥178.91 from ¥158.11 a year earlier, supported by higher ordinary profit and a sharp rise in comprehensive income to ¥9.57 billion. The completion of the audit review without adjustment should bolster investor confidence in these results ahead of the secondary equity issuance, even as the equity-to-asset ratio eased to 75.4% from 81.6% due to balance-sheet expansion.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4534) stock is a Hold with a Yen3985.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4534 Stock Forecast page.
