Kanamoto boosts shareholder benefits and dividend after strong Q3 performance

Kanamoto's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, increased by 4.6% year-on-year to 158,792 million yen. Operating profit surged by 30.0% to 11,734 million yen, ordinary profit rose by 27.7% to 12,039 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent grew by 33.2% to 7,236 million yen. The company’s full-year consolidated forecast for October 31, 2025, remains unchanged, projecting net sales of 212,500 million yen and operating profit of 17,100 million yen.

In response to sustained shareholder support and rising costs, Kanamoto is increasing the value of its shareholder benefits starting with the October 31, 2025, record date. Shareholders holding 1,000 shares or more for one year to less than three years will now receive Hokkaido products worth 6,600 yen (previously 5,500 yen), while those holding 1,000 shares or more for three years or longer will receive Hokkaido products worth 9,900 yen (previously 8,800 yen). The benefit for 500-999 shares held for one year or more remains Hokkaido confectionery worth 2,000 yen.

The company also announced an annual dividend forecast of 90.00 yen per share for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, comprising second-quarter and year-end dividends of 45.00 yen each, an increase from 80.00 yen in the prior year.
