An update from Moriroku Holdings Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4249) ) is now available.

Moriroku Company, Ltd. reported consolidated net sales of ¥97.48 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, down 9.7% year on year, but operating profit rose 8.5% to ¥2.06 billion and ordinary profit more than doubled, driving profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥896 million. The equity ratio improved to 53.2% as total assets edged down, while the company maintained its full-year forecast calling for lower sales but higher ordinary profit and plans to lift the annual dividend to ¥115 per share, signaling confidence in earnings resilience amid portfolio adjustments including changes in its consolidated subsidiaries.

For the full year to March 31, 2026, Moriroku projects net sales of ¥131.2 billion, a 10.2% decline, but expects ordinary profit to climb 27% to ¥2.8 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent to reach ¥1.8 billion, translating into basic earnings per share of ¥125.73. The unchanged earnings guidance and higher interim and projected year-end dividends underscore management’s commitment to shareholder returns, even as the group reshapes its global footprint by adding Moriroku Chemicals India Private Limited and excluding Moriroku Technology De Mexico S.A. de C.V. from the scope of consolidation.
