Consolidated Financial Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2026
(from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026)
- Forecasts
In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, it is projected that it will remain difficult to forecast economic trends. At this time, the Company believes the U.S. tariff policy will have a minimal impact on its business performance and therefore has not included it in the business performance forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. However, the Company will continue to collect and analyze the latest information, including perspectives on raw material cost trends and the supply chain, and closely monitor risks. If it becomes necessary to reflect the tariff impact in its forecasts, the Company will promptly issue a notification.
In this economic environment, the Company aims to work on sustainably enhancing corporate value by addressing measures focused on the three priority issues established in the three basic strategies aimed at achieving sustainable growth by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2031. These priority issues are 1. Steadily strengthening the four existing business units, 2. Expansion of product markets/targets, and 3. Creation of new business models that will lead to the next generation.
As a result of these efforts, the Company expects its consolidated business performance (full year) forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 to be as shown in the table below. Specifically, the Company forecasts consolidated net sales of ¥216,000 million, an increase of 1.7% year on year. On the earnings front, the forecast is for operating profit of ¥19,400 million (up 3.0% year on year), ordinary profit of ¥19,700 million (up 7.5%), and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥17,300 million (up 41.8%). In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the liquidation of Fuji Seal Switzerland AG, as reported in the "Notice of Dissolution and Liquidation of Overseas Subsidiary" released on February 9, 2023, will be completed and is expected to have a temporary impact on profit.
