Yamazen revises up fiscal 2026 earnings forecasts

Yamazen Corporation has revised its consolidated earnings forecasts for the second quarter and full fiscal year ending March 2026, driven by optimized transaction details, price negotiations, and reduced selling, general, and administrative expenses. For the second quarter (April 1 to September 30, 2025), the company now expects operating profit to be JPY 5,000 million, up from JPY 4,000 million, a 25.0% increase. Net income attributable to owners of parent is projected to reach JPY 3,900 million, an increase of JPY 700 million or 21.9% from the previous forecast of JPY 3,200 million. Sales remain unchanged at JPY 255,000 million.

For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Yamazen maintains its sales forecast at JPY 530,000 million. However, the company has raised its operating profit forecast to JPY 10,000 million, an 11.1% increase from the previous JPY 9,000 million. Net income attributable to owners of parent is now anticipated to be JPY 7,150 million, an increase of JPY 150 million (2.1%) from the prior forecast of JPY 7,000 million. This revision reflects cost-reduction effects and a reevaluation of tax estimates, with some special gains now expected later in the year.

The company stated that there are no changes to the dividend forecast accompanying this earnings revision. Yamazen will continue to monitor market trends and external environmental changes in the third quarter and beyond.
