Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
The Nagoya-based automation group's board approved buying two Singapore machine-vision firms, Vital Vision Technology and EI3D, for an estimated ¥2.65bn, a deal disclosed as its first-quarter profit swung to ¥444mn from a year-earlier loss.
KOA CORPORATION's upgraded guidance follows a first quarter in which net profit nearly quadrupled, and the company raised its annual dividend forecast to ¥63 a share from ¥39, crediting AI-related equipment demand in Asia and automotive orders in China rather than a broad components rebound.
A near-flat ¥2.00bn rental business could not offset a 44% drop in EMEA and a 68% slump in other revenue, leaving CYBERDYNE's sales down 12.3% in the year to March even as net profit turned positive.
The number: Kubotek’s annual report showed only ¥56.1mn of net assets and a 7.0% equity ratio, even with sales at ¥2.10bn and losses still on the books.
The move: first-half operating profit rose 7 per cent to ¥5.21bn and net assets increased, but Zojirushi kept its full-year earnings target and ¥46 annual dividend unchanged, citing higher raw-material costs, a weaker yen assumption and uncertain US tariff refunds.
Sales rose to ¥195.78bn and ordinary income to ¥16.26bn, but profit attributable to owners of parent eased to ¥11.49bn from ¥12.10bn. That makes it a solid industrial year with one bottom-line wrinkle management will still need to explain elsewhere.
Sales climbed to ¥123.56bn in the year to March, while ordinary income only edged down to ¥4.88bn from ¥5.06bn. Even so, profit attributable to owners of parent swung to a ¥1.39bn loss from a ¥2.78bn profit, and the filing summary does not say what pushed the final line over.
Cyberdyne's revenue fell to ¥3.85bn from ¥4.38bn in the year to March 2026, yet it cut its operating loss to ¥601mn from ¥926mn and returned to ¥153mn of profit attributable to owners. That is progress, but still the sort that asks readers to keep one eye on the red operating line.
The annual report shows a ¥783mn loss attributable to owners after a ¥89mn profit a year earlier, as sales slipped to ¥65.85bn from ¥69.75bn. The sharper deterioration is in earnings rather than pure scale.
Cosel's sales fell 7.4% to ¥25.05bn in the year to May 2026 and operating profit swung to a ¥695mn loss from a ¥628mn profit. Net loss widened to ¥3.41bn after a ¥3.633bn loss tied to the disposal of Powerbox International AB, yet the company held the annual dividend at ¥55 a share. Management is guiding for a rebound to ¥28.875bn of sales, ¥1.335bn of operating profit and ¥1.604bn of net profit in the current year, and says it intends to lift the dividend to ¥60. That is a recovery plan, not a receipt.
IDEC reported sales of ¥72.97bn, operating income of ¥6.12bn and ordinary income of ¥6.57bn for the year to March 2026, up from ¥67.38bn, ¥3.65bn and ¥3.48bn a year earlier. Profit attributable to owners of parent rose to ¥3.87bn from ¥1.78bn, and EPS to ¥131.22 from ¥60.36.
The company raised revenue guidance to ¥6,950 million from ¥6,620 million and business profit to ¥820 million from ¥560 million on stronger electronics orders and smooth production. But the larger jump in profit attributable to owners, to ¥1,835 million from ¥730 million, also reflects April-end valuation gains on a Singapore-listed holding that will be remeasured each quarter.
First-quarter sales rose 6.6% to ¥1,010 million, but operating loss widened to ¥434 million as the group pushed deeper into defense, UTM and overseas build-out. It kept full-year guidance unchanged, formed an Estonia defense hub and set out a staged warrant financing plan with estimated net proceeds of about ¥14.5 billion.
The drone company now expects full-year sales of ¥1.7 billion to ¥1.9 billion, down from ¥2.22 billion, after devoting resources to free sewer surveys and demonstrations for municipalities. Delayed SBIR spending means the operating-loss range improved versus the previous plan, but the ordinary-loss range worsened as related subsidy income also shifts into next year.
First-quarter sales rose 83.2% to ¥1.386 billion and the operating loss narrowed to ¥364 million, but a ¥1.682 billion equity-method loss tied mainly to WCP kept net loss at ¥2.033 billion. Management left full-year guidance unchanged.
Saxa has finally put numbers on its restructuring year, guiding for ¥47.5 billion in sales, ¥1.0 billion in operating profit and ¥16.5 billion in net profit for the year ending March 2027 after leaving the outlook undecided in May. The flattering net-profit line is heavily helped by real-estate sale gains, while the operating bridge still shows pressure from materials, labour and restructuring costs. Management is pairing the reset with executive pay cuts, a new dividend policy from the following year based on the higher of 4% DOE or a 100% adjusted payout ratio, and a Yonezawa factory plan that includes an asset sale and new plant construction.
