Zacros revises full-year profit, hikes dividends, announces share buyback

Zacros Corporation reported consolidated net sales of JPY 78,329 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, a 3.8% increase year-on-year, with profit attributable to owners of parent rising 7.5% to JPY 3,892 million. Despite this, the full-year profit attributable to owners of parent for fiscal year 2025 has been revised downwards from JPY 7,500 million to JPY 6,500 million, a 13.3% decrease from the previous forecast, due to a re-evaluation of the timing for recognizing a special gain from a government subsidy.

The company also announced increased dividends for fiscal year 2025, with the second-quarter-end dividend raised from JPY 67 to JPY 72 per share. The fiscal year-end dividend is projected at JPY 18 per share (post-split). Zacros conducted a four-for-one stock split effective October 1, 2025, to enhance investment accessibility and share liquidity. Additionally, the board of directors resolved to repurchase up to 1,820,000 common shares, representing 2.5% of outstanding shares, for a maximum of JPY 2,000 million between November 7, 2025, and June 30, 2026.

Zacros is expanding its global presence by establishing ZACROS INDIA PVT. LTD. in December 2025 to handle imports, sales, and marketing of liquid containers in India. The company also clarified changes in its financial statement presentation methods and restated certain figures from previous periods for consistency.
