Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
First-quarter sales fell 7.8% to ¥267 million, with an operating loss of ¥57 million and a net loss of ¥65 million. April sales were ¥150.848 million, or 99.2% of the year-earlier month, and the company said the smaller-than-forecast loss partly reflected R&D and advertising costs shifting into later quarters rather than a clean demand surprise.
Revenue for the year ended April 30 rose to ¥497,877 million, but operating profit fell to ¥21,684 million and net income to ¥3,466 million, while annual common dividends increased to 48.00 yen a share. Operating cash flow fell to ¥11,301 million and year-end cash to ¥71,080 million, and management is guiding for ¥500,000 million in sales and ¥20,000 million in operating profit in the current year.
After finding a tax-calculation error on gains from selling a related-company stake, Bushiroad cut net-profit guidance for the year ending June 2026 to ¥4,626 million from the mistakenly published ¥5,516 million. Revenue, operating profit and ordinary profit guidance were left unchanged.
Ito En lifted its outlook for the year ended April 2026 to ¥497.8 billion in sales from ¥495.0 billion, ¥21.6 billion in operating profit from ¥20.0 billion, and ¥23.2 billion in ordinary profit from ¥21.0 billion. Net profit guidance rose to ¥3.4 billion from ¥1.0 billion. The company said total cost cuts, solid overseas business led by North America and ASEAN, and foreign-exchange gains from a weaker yen more than offset stubborn raw-material inflation and a still-frugal consumer backdrop.
DyDo returned to first-quarter operating profit as overseas beverages, especially Turkey and Poland, outpaced domestic weakness. But IAS 29 hyperinflation accounting, including a ¥1.157 billion loss on net monetary position already reflected in results, still held down ordinary and net profit.
