KOA raises forecasts, unveils new mid-term plan and dividend policy

KOA Corporation announced an upward revision to its consolidated financial forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2026, following better-than-expected interim results for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Net sales of JPY34,634 million, operating profit of JPY1,305 million, and ordinary profit of JPY1,618 million all surpassed previous interim estimates. The full-year forecast now anticipates net sales of JPY69,400 million, operating profit of JPY2,980 million, and ordinary profit of JPY3,180 million, reflecting robust demand and favorable exchange rates.

In conjunction with these financial updates, KOA also established its 2027 Mid-Term Management Plan (FY2025-FY2027), emphasizing ROIC-based management for profit growth and efficiency. Key financial targets for FY2027 include net sales of JPY80.0 bn, operating profit of JPY7.4 bn, ROIC of 4.7%, and ROE of 6.2%. The plan also details non-financial targets such as GHG emission reductions and an increased ratio of female managers.

Furthermore, KOA revised its dividend policy, setting a minimum annual dividend of JPY30 per share with a consolidated dividend payout ratio of approximately 30% as a reference, effective from the fiscal year ending March 2026. This change aims to enhance capital efficiency and achieve sustainable corporate value growth.
