Riken Technos achieves record mid-year sales and profit, raises outlook

Riken Technos announced strong interim results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, with consolidated net sales of JPY65,567 million, a 3.4% increase year-over-year, and operating profit of JPY5,533 million, up 15.8%. These figures represent a new record for first-half sales and all profit stages for five consecutive periods. The company attributes this success to optimized sales pricing and favorable market conditions, despite increased logistics and personnel costs.

Looking ahead, Riken Technos maintained its full-year sales forecast at JPY134,000 million but revised its net profit forecast upwards to JPY6,500 million, exceeding the initial forecast by JPY700 million, primarily due to the sale of cross-shareholdings. The company's segment-wise performance showed growth, with Transportation, Daily Life & Healthcare, and Electronics segments experiencing revenue increases.

The company's "One Vision, New Stage 2027" medium-term management plan outlines strategies for sustainable growth, including optimizing production systems globally, expanding into non-Japanese ASEAN markets, and enhancing R&D. Financial strategies include maintaining a stable dividend payout ratio around 35% and share buybacks, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder returns.
