The earnings call presented a mixed picture, with some growth in imaging products and digital manufacturing, but significant challenges in semiconductor-related business and profitability due to one-time costs and strategic investments. The outlook anticipates improved profitability, but current performance fell short of expectations.

Company Guidance

During the call, Nikon provided guidance for the fiscal year 2026, projecting revenue of ¥710 billion, operating profit of ¥36 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥30 billion. The company anticipates a significant ¥33.6 billion increase in operating profit due to improved profitability, the absence of ¥27.2 billion in one-time costs from the previous year, and gains from sales of idle assets. However, a projected ¥10 billion negative impact on operating profit due to U.S. tariffs is not included in the forecast. Nikon plans to maintain the dividend at ¥50 per share, the same as last year, and anticipates a shareholder return ratio of 54.8% for the current fiscal year. The company aims to increase its market presence in areas like digital manufacturing, with expectations of a revenue increase in the segment by ¥9.7 billion to ¥33 billion, driven by growth in large format metal 3D printers. Additionally, Nikon plans to streamline operations in the semiconductor lithography business to achieve stable profits in future years.

Revenue Growth in Imaging Products and Healthcare

Revenue from imaging products increased by ¥15.6 billion, reaching ¥295.3 billion, driven by strong demand in China and new wireless cameras. Healthcare also saw growth, with strong performance in eye care solutions.

Successful Share Buyback

A ¥30 billion share buyback was completed, contributing to a total shareholder return ratio of 765.8%.

Strong Growth in Digital Manufacturing

The digital manufacturing segment saw a 33% year-on-year growth in NXG series sales, with 75% directed to the space and defense sector.

Anticipated Profit Improvement

Operating profit for FY 2026 is projected to be ¥36 billion, a significant increase from the previous fiscal year, driven by the absence of last year's ¥27.2 billion in one-time costs.
