Nadex sees Q1 sales rise despite operating loss

Nadex reported net sales of JPY 7,760 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an 8.6% increase from the previous year. However, the company experienced an operating loss of JPY 82 million, a recurring loss of JPY 11 million, and a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 129 million. The overall sales growth was driven by increased production equipment sales to automotive-related companies, particularly in Japan and Southeast Asia.

Segment-wise, Japan saw a 5.7% increase in sales to JPY 6,395 million, while North America’s sales grew by 33.5% to JPY 794 million due to M&A activities. In contrast, China’s sales declined by 39.2% to JPY 253 million.

Nadex maintains its full-year forecast, projecting net sales of JPY 43,000 million and a net profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 850 million. The company also announced a forecast for annual dividends for the fiscal year ending April 2026, with an interim dividend of JPY 11.00 and a year-end dividend of JPY 20.00, totaling JPY 31.00 per share.
