Sysmex reported a 1.7% decline in net sales to ¥500.0 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, with operating profit dropping 40.8% and profit attributable to owners falling 33.9%, reflecting margin pressure and weaker profitability despite only modest top-line slippage.

Sysmex signaled confidence by forecasting a recovery in fiscal 2027, guiding for 7.0% sales growth and a rebound in operating profit, while maintaining an active shareholder return policy as its balance sheet continues to strengthen.
