Komori reports stronger operating profit, revises full-year forecasts for FY2026

Komori Corporation announced its second quarter of fiscal year 2026 results on November 10, 2025, showing a substantial improvement in financial performance. Consolidated operating profit for the first half of FY2026 surged to 32 hundred million yen, a 242% increase from 13 hundred million yen in the same period of FY2025. This was primarily driven by positive fluctuations in sales and cost of goods sold, contributing 18 hundred million yen. Net sales also saw an increase, reaching 522 hundred million yen, up from 501 hundred million yen in FY2025 Q2. Profit attributable to owners of parent was reported at 24 hundred million yen, a 235% rise from 10 hundred million yen year-over-year.

The company revised its full-year forecast for FY2026, anticipating consolidated operating profit of 91 hundred million yen, a 28% increase from FY2025's 71 hundred million yen. Net sales are projected to reach 1,245 hundred million yen, up from 1,111 hundred million yen in FY2025, and profit attributable to owners of parent is expected to be 64 hundred million yen, an 88% increase from 72 hundred million yen. The revision takes into account a postponement of bidding for the security printing business and a significant increase in order intake for Q2.

Komori's order intake for the first half of FY2026 was 500 hundred million yen, down from 734 hundred million yen in FY2025, partly due to a large order in the previous fiscal year. However, order intake in Q2 showed a 25% increase compared to Q1. The company is actively expanding into new markets, with strong order intake in North America, Europe, and other regions. Initiatives include expanding into the trading card and large-package printing markets, successful exhibitions at China Print 2025, and delivering next-generation digital printing machines, indicating strategic growth despite a fluctuating market.
