Seed Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7743) ) has provided an update.
SEED Co., Ltd. reported that its consolidated net sales and profits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 fell short of forecasts, with revenue declining due to slower sales of single-vision contact lenses amid intensified competition and weaker demand in China. While premium and specialty lenses such as astigmatism and multifocal products showed recovery from earlier delivery delays, higher procurement, personnel and logistics costs, including the setup of a Singapore base and restructuring-related advisory fees, further pressured operating and ordinary income.
Non-consolidated results also missed earlier guidance as domestic and overseas sales lagged expectations, though net income per share slightly exceeded the forecast thanks to profit resilience and cost controls in certain areas. Management plans to respond with more agile sales promotions, broader campaigns and company-wide efforts to cultivate new business and strengthen its sales structure, aiming for sustainable profit growth despite competitive and macroeconomic headwinds.
