Seikoh Giken raises profit forecast, boosts interim dividend

Seikoh Giken reported consolidated interim results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 that significantly exceeded its previous forecasts, with net sales reaching JPY 12,133 million (forecast JPY 11,200 million), operating income JPY 2,756 million (forecast JPY 1,600 million), and net income attributable to owners of parent JPY 2,229 million (forecast JPY 1,270 million). This strong performance led the company to revise its full-year consolidated financial forecast upwards, now projecting net sales of JPY 24,000 million, operating income of JPY 4,900 million, and net income attributable to owners of parent JPY 3,900 million, an increase of JPY 1,600 million from the previous forecast.

In line with improved performance and its shareholder return policy, Seikoh Giken decided to increase its interim dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2026 from the previously forecast JPY 35 to JPY 40 per share, with the record date set for September 30, 2025. The full-year dividend remains at JPY 80 per share.

Concurrently, the company announced the disposal of 18,500 shares of its common stock, totaling JPY 199,800,000, as part of its performance-linked executive stock compensation plan. This share disposal is scheduled for December 2, 2025, with a price of JPY 10,800 per share, based on the closing price of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on November 12, 2025.
