Nippon Sheet Glass Company ( (JP:5202) ) has provided an announcement.

Nippon Sheet Glass reported FY2026 revenue of ¥879.5 billion, up 4.6%, with operating profit surging 74.7% to ¥28.8 billion and a swing to a ¥4.4 billion profit attributable to owners, reversing a loss in the prior year. The company strengthened its balance sheet as total equity and equity ratio improved, generated positive operating cash flow, maintained a zero common-share dividend, and guided modest revenue growth but lower profits for FY2027, signaling cautious expectations amid operational recovery.

Total assets rose to ¥1.12 trillion, with shareholders’ equity per share increasing and profitability metrics turning positive, suggesting improved financial resilience. However, NSG plans no common-share dividends for FY2026 and FY2027 and projects a decline in profit attributable to owners next year, indicating ongoing capital discipline and potential pressure on shareholder returns despite the earnings turnaround.
