Nippon Kayaku Co ( (JP:4272) ) has shared an announcement.
Nippon Kayaku reported consolidated net sales of ¥174.6 billion for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, a 4.0% increase year on year, while operating income fell 9.9% to ¥16.3 billion and ordinary income declined 11.0% to ¥18.7 billion. Despite the weaker earnings at the operating level, profit attributable to owners of parent jumped 30.1% to ¥17.3 billion, lifting earnings per share to ¥112.39, supported in part by share buybacks that reduced the average number of shares outstanding. The company’s equity ratio eased to 67.2% as total assets grew to ¥406.0 billion, but net assets also rose, and it maintained its full-year guidance, forecasting a 7.7% rise in net sales to ¥239.8 billion and a 16.5% increase in full-year profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥20.4 billion. The dividend plan remains unchanged, with an interim dividend of ¥30 per share already set and a full-year payout of ¥60 per share projected, signaling continued shareholder returns alongside cautious confidence in meeting its earnings targets.
