The latest announcement is out from PIOLAX, Inc. ( (JP:5988) ).
PIOLAX reported a 2.1% decline in net sales to ¥62.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, with operating profit down 38.3% and ordinary profit down 57.3%, resulting in a slight net loss attributable to owners of the parent. Profitability metrics weakened, comprehensive income fell sharply, and equity decreased, while cash and cash equivalents also declined due to significant investing and financing outflows.
Despite the earnings deterioration, PIOLAX maintained its annual dividend at ¥92 per share for the year and plans to keep the same level in the next fiscal year, implying a high consolidated payout ratio. For the year ending March 31, 2027, the company forecasts modest growth in net sales and profits, targeting ¥63.0 billion in sales, ¥1.5 billion in operating and ordinary profit, and a return to positive earnings per share, signaling management’s expectation of a gradual recovery in performance.
