Uchida Yoko reports record profits, increased dividend for FY2025

Uchida Yoko Co., Ltd. announced record consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending July 2025, with sales of JPY337,055m (up 21.3% year-on-year) and ordinary income of JPY13,126m (up 29.5% year-on-year). Net income attributable to shareholders surged by 40.4% to JPY9,825m. This strong performance led the board to approve an increase in the year-end dividend for FY2025 from the previously forecast JPY220 to JPY300 per share. The company projects continued growth for FY2026, forecasting sales of JPY418,000m and net income of JPY10,800m.

The company's robust results were partly attributed to strategic initiatives to reduce policy-held shares. Uchida Yoko confirmed a reduction in its policy-held shares, with the ratio to consolidated net assets decreasing from 22.9% in July 2024 to 19.5% in July 2025, following the sale of some holdings. This sale contributed approximately JPY900m to net income. The company plans to maintain the JPY300 dividend for FY2026, pending a comprehensive evaluation of future performance and market conditions.
