Yorozu Corporation ( (JP:7294) ) has shared an update.

Yorozu Corporation reported fiscal year 2026 consolidated net sales of ¥176.3 billion, down 1.2% year on year, but swung back to profitability with operating income of ¥4.0 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2.1 billion, after a large loss in the previous year. Profitability gains lifted return on equity to 3.9%, cash and cash equivalents rose to ¥29.8 billion, and the equity ratio improved, while the company excluded its North American unit from consolidation and increased its year-end dividend to ¥18 per share.

Despite the earnings recovery, Yorozu forecasts a softer fiscal 2027, with sales expected to fall 5.9% and profit attributable to owners of parent projected to decline 47.0% to ¥1.1 billion, implying a cautious outlook amid industry and cost headwinds. Non-consolidated results improved on the back of inflation cost recovery and rationalization under the “Success 25V” program, and the company plans to maintain a total annual dividend of ¥33 per share, signaling continued shareholder returns even as it braces for lower profits.
