Sakurajima Futo raises full-year forecasts and dividends

Sakurajima Futo Kaisha announced an upward revision to its consolidated financial forecasts for the first half (ending September 30, 2025) and full year (ending March 31, 2026), alongside an increase in its year-end dividend forecast. For the first half, the company now expects net sales of JPY 2,224m, up 17.1% from the previous forecast of JPY 1,900m. Ordinary profit is projected to reach JPY 291m, a 94.0% increase, while profit attributable to owners of parent is expected to be JPY 236m, a 136.0% rise from the initial forecast.

The company attributed the improved first-half performance to robust operations in the liquid cargo and logistics warehouse segments, and a concentration of certain cargo arrivals in the bulk cargo segment. For the full year, net sales are revised to JPY 4,200m, a 2.4% increase from the previous JPY 4,100m. Full-year ordinary profit is now projected at JPY 380m, up 15.2%, and profit attributable to owners of parent is revised to JPY 260m, an 18.2% increase.

Reflecting these improved earnings, Sakurajima Futo Kaisha also announced an increase in its year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The projected dividend per share has been revised from JPY 40 to JPY 45, representing a JPY 5 increase.
