Meiho Enterprise raises FY2025 earnings forecast, adopts progressive dividend policy

Meiho Enterprise announced on August 26, 2025, an upward revision to its consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025. The company now expects net sales of JPY 29,797 million, up from JPY 29,000 million. Operating profit is projected to reach JPY 3,373 million (previously JPY 2,600 million), ordinary profit JPY 2,683 million (previously JPY 2,000 million), and net income attributable to owners of the parent JPY 1,889 million (previously JPY 1,400 million). This translates to a revised basic earnings per share of JPY 64.05.

The positive revisions are primarily attributed to the strong performance of the company's core real estate sales business. Key brands, including "ELFARO" and "MIJAS," saw investment properties sell according to plan, achieving higher-than-expected profit margins and profit amounts. The company also announced a change in its dividend policy, adopting a progressive dividend approach starting from the fiscal year ending July 2026.

This new policy commits Meiho Enterprise to maintain or increase dividends, with a principle of not reducing payouts, to enhance shareholder returns while continuing to invest in growth areas to increase corporate value.
