Prima Meat Packers reported a 3.8% rise in net sales to ¥475.6 billion and modest gains in operating and ordinary profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, but profit attributable to owners of the parent fell 35.2% to ¥4.6 billion, dragging earnings per share down to ¥91.28. Despite the earnings decline, the company maintained its annual dividend at ¥80 per share, kept a solid equity ratio above 50% and generated stronger operating cash flow, signaling a focus on shareholder returns and balance sheet stability.
