Sankyo Frontier's Q2 net income falls 15.7% amid lower sales

Sankyo Frontier reported consolidated net sales of 25,002 million yen for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, a 10.5% decrease from 27,949 million yen in the same period last year. This decline was partly attributed to the impact of emergency temporary housing construction related to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in the prior period. Operating profit fell 22.2% to 3,060 million yen, while ordinary profit decreased by 18.4% to 3,252 million yen. Net income attributable to owners of the parent also saw a 15.7% reduction, totaling 2,001 million yen.

Despite the drop in profitability, the company maintained a strong financial position. Total assets increased by 609 million yen to 65,940 million yen, and net assets grew by 932 million yen to 49,730 million yen. The equity ratio stood at a healthy 75.4%. Diluted earnings per share for the interim period were 90.06 yen, down from 106.86 yen previously, reflecting a 2-for-1 stock split effective October 1, 2024.

Looking ahead, the company's full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 remains unchanged from the announcement made on May 13, 2025. The projected annual dividend per share is 85.00 yen, with an interim dividend of 40.00 yen declared.
