The earnings call reflects a mixed outlook. While there were significant achievements in core operating profit and growth in Japan, challenges persist in other regions, particularly China and the Americas. Additionally, the reduction in dividends and net income deficit indicate financial pressures.
Company Guidance
In the recent earnings call, Shiseido outlined its financial performance for 2024 and provided guidance for 2025, emphasizing several key metrics. For 2024, the company reported a core operating profit of JPY 36.4 billion, surpassing its revised forecast of JPY 35 billion. However, net income attributable to owners was a deficit of JPY 10.8 billion, primarily due to JPY 28.8 billion in structural reform expenses. Looking ahead, Shiseido forecasts net sales of JPY 995 billion for 2025, with a 4% real growth rate excluding foreign exchange impacts. Core operating income is expected to slightly increase to JPY 36.5 billion. The company plans to focus on regional profit growth, particularly in Japan and the Americas, aiming for JPY 50 billion in profit in Japan. Additionally, Shiseido will reduce its year-end dividend from JPY 30 to JPY 10 per share to prioritize strategic investments and structural reforms. The company remains committed to achieving a 7% core operating profit margin by 2026 and anticipates positive free cash flow due to a decrease in nonrecurring items and the absence of major M&A plans for 2025.
