FUJIX Ltd. Revises FY2026 Forecast Lower on Production Cuts

FUJIX Ltd. (TSE:3600) has lowered its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, citing reduced production volumes and persistent raw material cost pressures.

The company now projects revenue of JPY 5.5bn, down JPY 157M from its prior forecast. Operating profit is expected to deteriorate to a loss of JPY 222M versus JPY 122M previously, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric capturing non-operating items—is forecast at a loss of JPY 122M compared to JPY 45M. Net profit attributable to parent shareholders is projected at a loss of JPY 123M, versus JPY 79M in the earlier guidance. Earnings per share are now estimated at negative JPY 89.88, down from negative JPY 57.69.

Management attributed the downward revision to lower-than-expected revenue realization, reduced factory operating rates stemming from production declines, and elevated raw material costs that compressed gross margins beyond initial projections. All profit metrics are now expected to worsen year-over-year.

The revision signals mounting operational headwinds for FUJIX, with the company facing simultaneous pressures on both the top and bottom lines. The combination of volume declines and cost inflation has eroded profitability across operating, ordinary, and net income levels, suggesting a challenging near-term environment for the textile machinery manufacturer.
