Riso Kagaku Posts Flat Sales, Lower Profits but Maintains Stable Dividend

Riso Kagaku Corporation ( (JP:6413) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Riso Kagaku reported fiscal 2026 consolidated net sales of ¥78.99 billion, essentially flat year-on-year, while operating profit fell 17.3% to ¥5.11 billion and ordinary profit declined 7.7%. Despite the weaker margins, profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 7.1% to ¥4.38 billion, supported by improved comprehensive income and solid cash generation that lifted cash and cash equivalents to ¥15.53 billion.

The company maintained its annual dividend at ¥50 per share, resulting in a payout ratio of 72.8%, and projects another ¥50 dividend for fiscal 2027. For the year ending March 2027, Riso forecasts modest net sales growth to ¥80.9 billion but expects further declines in operating and ordinary profit, signaling margin pressure ahead even as it seeks stable shareholder returns and a steady balance sheet.
