Ensuiko sugar refining raises 2026 earnings forecast on strong sales

Ensuiko Sugar Refining's board of directors, meeting today, October 22, 2025, resolved to revise its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, originally announced on May 9, 2025.

The revised forecast projects net sales of JPY 32,200 million, up from JPY 31,900 million. Operating profit is expected to reach JPY 2,500 million, a 19.0% increase from the previous JPY 2,100 million. Ordinary profit is projected at JPY 2,800 million, a 21.7% increase from JPY 2,300 million.

Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders is now forecast at JPY 2,400 million, representing a 50.00% increase from the previous JPY 1,600 million. This translates to an expected earnings per share of JPY 87.53, up from JPY 58.35. The upward revision is attributed to strong sales in business-use products driven by inbound and tourism demand, favorable sales to beverage users due to record-breaking summer heat, and a special gain of JPY 605 million from the sale of investment securities.
