Zuiko Corporation has approved a share buyback using the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s off-auction own share repurchase system ToSTNeT-3, as part of a broader capital policy aimed at enhancing shareholder returns and improving capital efficiency. The company plans to purchase up to 500,000 of its common shares, representing about 1.9% of outstanding stock excluding treasury shares, for a maximum of ¥485.5 million at the prior day’s closing price, signaling a proactive stance on balance sheet optimization and potentially supporting its share price.
The buyback order will be placed at 8:45 a.m. on February 25, 2026 and will be valid only during that trading session, with the final execution subject to market conditions and available sell orders. This move, following a previously announced authorization of up to ¥550 million in repurchases over a short window through early March, underscores management’s intent to deploy excess capital flexibly while leaving room to adjust the actual scale of purchases depending on trading dynamics and investor participation.

ZUIKO Corporation expects to book an extraordinary gain of about ¥2.76 billion from a bargain purchase linked to its acquisition of UNITIKA’s spunlace nonwoven fabric business, reflecting the difference between the acquired assets’ value and the purchase price. This one-off gain, to be recognized in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2026, underscores the financial upside of its recent strategic expansion.
At the same time, the company sharply cut its full-year forecasts for net sales and operating and ordinary profit due to significant delays in shipment, inspection, and parts delivery for existing and new orders, which also pushed percentage-of-completion revenue into the next fiscal year. Despite weaker core operations, profit attributable to owners of the parent is now projected to more than double the previous forecast, highlighting how the extraordinary gain will mask underlying operational softness and creating a mixed picture for investors tracking the company’s earnings quality and growth trajectory.

Zuiko Corporation will complete the acquisition of Unitika Ltd.’s spunlace nonwoven fabric business on December 31, 2025 and start operating the business on January 1, 2026, paying ¥2.15 billion in cash for assets of about ¥4.7 billion and taking on no liabilities after adjusting the price for additional fire protection costs. The acquired business, which generated roughly ¥4 billion in sales in the year to March 2025, will bolster Zuiko’s position in nonwoven materials while also allowing the company to inherit a government supply-chain subsidy and book an extraordinary gain of ¥1.77 billion and a matching extraordinary loss under compressed bookkeeping in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2026, with purchase price allocation and any goodwill still under review.

The company’s financial position remained solid, with a higher equity ratio of 68.5% despite a slight decline in total assets, and it confirmed dividend growth to an annual ¥12 per share for the fiscal year ending February 20, 2026, alongside unchanged full-year guidance calling for ¥22.0 billion in net sales and ¥820 million in profit attributable to owners of parent, signaling management’s confidence in sustained earnings recovery and shareholder returns.
