Toyota Tsusho raises FY2026 earnings forecast and interim dividend

Toyota Tsusho Corporation announced an upward revision to its consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, with profit attributable to owners of the parent now projected at JPY 360,000 million, a JPY 20,000 million (5.9%) increase from the previous forecast of JPY 340,000 million. This revision is primarily driven by stronger-than-expected performance in the second quarter, largely due to a continuously weaker Japanese yen against the US dollar. Basic earnings per share are now estimated at JPY 341.00.

The company also resolved to increase its interim dividend for the period ending September 30, 2025, to JPY 58.00 per share, up from the previously forecasted JPY 55.00. This adjustment aligns with the company's shareholder return policy, which targets a total payout ratio of 40% or more, including share repurchases, and a progressive dividend through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028. The year-end dividend forecast has also been revised to JPY 58.00, bringing the annual total to JPY 116.00 per share.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated revenue reached JPY 5,414,384 million, a 6.9% increase year-on-year. Profit attributable to owners of the parent for the same period rose to JPY 186,920 million, a 3.0% increase, with basic earnings per share at JPY 177.06. Total assets as of September 30, 2025, amounted to JPY 7,695,216 million, with total equity attributable to owners of the parent at JPY 2,837,993 million.
