Techno Horizon reports strong Q2 earnings, raises dividend forecast

Techno Horizon Holdings announced robust financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, reporting a 500.8% increase in operating profit to JPY 891 million, a 171.1% rise in ordinary profit to JPY 980 million, and a significant turnaround in net profit attributable to parent company shareholders to JPY 457 million from a loss of JPY 276 million in the prior period. This profit surge occurred despite a modest 2.7% decrease in net sales to JPY 22,871 million, primarily due to a decline in the Robotics business segment.

The company's strong performance was attributed to improved gross profit margins and reduced selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Imaging & IT business saw a 1.6% revenue increase to JPY 16,669 million, driven by demand in the education market. Furthermore, Techno Horizon projects a strong full-year performance, forecasting net sales of JPY 53,000 million and a net profit of JPY 450 million. Reflecting this positive outlook, the company increased its annual dividend forecast to JPY 13 per share, up from JPY 12 in the previous year, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder returns.
