For the full fiscal year, the company now projects revenue of JPY 47.7bn, up 10.9% from its prior forecast of JPY 43.0bn. Operating profit is expected to reach JPY 9.5bn, a 23.7% increase, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit with non-operating items—is forecast at JPY 9.84bn, up 26.2%. Net profit attributable to parent shareholders is revised to JPY 7.54bn, representing a 25.7% increase.
The company attributed the upward revision to sustained strong demand for its measurement instruments as market conditions remain stable. Performance through the first half exceeded prior expectations, prompting management to raise full-year guidance across all profitability metrics.
Hioki also increased its dividend payout, raising both the interim and year-end dividends by JPY 20.00 per share to JPY 120.00 each, bringing the full-year dividend to JPY 240.00 per share, up from JPY 200.00. The revision signals management confidence in sustained operational momentum, though investors should note that global economic uncertainty remains a potential headwind to future performance.
