B&P reports strong Q3 results, on track for record full year

B&P achieved JPY 3,252 million in net sales, JPY 504 million in operating profit, JPY 512 million in ordinary profit, and JPY 350 million in net income attributable to shareholders for the third quarter ended July 31, 2025. These figures represent strong progress towards its full-year targets of JPY 4,300 million in net sales and JPY 631 million in both operating and ordinary profit. The company attributed this performance to strategic initiatives including expanding its customer base, enhancing functionalities, and broadening its business domains, further boosted by the acquisition of Idei Co., Ltd.

The company's integration of Idei Co., Ltd., which became a consolidated subsidiary on November 8, 2024, has significantly contributed to revenue and improved profitability through internalizing production and reducing intermediary costs. B&P maintains its forecast for an annual dividend of JPY 70 per share for the fiscal year ending October 2025, an increase of JPY 10 from the previous year, with a target of a 40% dividend payout ratio by October 2026. This reflects a commitment to shareholder returns while investing for growth.
