Message from the President
In FY2025, our consolidated financial results recorded net sales of 321.9 billion yen, operating profit of 13.6 billion yen, and ordinary profit of 14.7 billion yen.
Although net sales declined from the previous fiscal year, operating profit and ordinary profit achieved positive year-on-year growth. I believe this shows that our Group-wide efforts to reform revenue structure have taken root, resulting in a strong revenue base that is resilient to changes in the business environment. In other words, our earning power has steadily increased.
On the other hand, net income recorded a loss due to structural reform and related optimization of assets that was implemented to ensure a recovery in revenue in the coming year and beyond. Recording of this loss was a necessary and unavoidable step for realizing sustainable growth, and I am confident that we have successfully built a solid foundation as a springboard to bounce back to growth from the next fiscal year.
The environment surrounding our business is rapidly changing, but we have always positioned shareholder return as one of our top management priorities. Despite recording a net loss for the fiscal year, we have decided to pay a dividend of 60 yen per share for the full year, in interim and year-end dividends. Furthermore, for next fiscal year, we are planning a dividend increase of 10 yen to 70 yen per share in order to promptly deliver to shareholders the fruits of our structural reform.
FY2026 is positioned as a year to take a leap toward further growth. In addition to the return on equity (ROE) and price-to-book ratio (PBR) improvement targets that we have been pursuing, we will set a target for return on invested capital (ROIC)―an indicator of the earning power of a company—as an important business management benchmark and work to achieve those targets.
With an unwavering resolve to open the path to our future, we will continue to build a firm business base that is resilient to any change in the environment.
We look forward to your continued support and guidance as we move forward.
June, 2026
