Hokkaido Chuo Bus kept its upward run going in the year to March 2026: consolidated sales rose to ¥38.38bn, ordinary income to ¥2.99bn, profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥2.78bn, and basic earnings per share to ¥1,062.96.
| Metric | Year to March 2024 | Year to March 2025 | Year to March 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales | ¥33.84bn | ¥35.99bn | ¥38.38bn |
| Ordinary income | ¥1.46bn | ¥2.64bn | ¥2.99bn |
| Profit attributable to owners of parent | ¥941.2mn | ¥2.26bn | ¥2.78bn |
| Basic earnings per share | ¥359.72 | ¥864.85 | ¥1,062.96 |
The climb looks steady rather than accidental. Sales were ¥35.99bn and ordinary income ¥2.64bn a year earlier, after ¥33.84bn and ¥1.46bn two years earlier, according to the annual report's three-year sequence.
The regional-demand read-through comes with an asterisk. Hokkaido Chuo Bus is not just buses: its internal-control report says five key business locations, spanning the parent company, two construction units, a building-maintenance subsidiary and a Niseko tourism-development subsidiary, account for roughly four-fifths of consolidated sales. That makes the results a broader regional business snapshot, not a pure bus-company scorecard.
Shareholders also approved a year-end dividend of ¥60 a share, including a ¥10 special dividend, for a total payout of ¥173.8mn effective June 29.
