For the full fiscal year, Seika raised revenue guidance to JPY 128.0bn from JPY 125.0bn, while operating profit jumped 15.4% to JPY 10.5bn. Ordinary income (keijo rieki), a Japan-specific metric capturing non-operating items, climbed 12.2% to JPY 11.0bn. Net profit attributable to parent shareholders rose 10.5% to JPY 8.4bn. The company cited accelerated order intake and delivery pace in its energy segment as the primary driver, with both interim and full-year profit metrics tracking ahead of prior guidance.
The revision also triggered a dividend increase. While the interim dividend remains at JPY 46/share, the year-end dividend was raised to JPY 59/share from JPY 47/share, lifting the annual payout to JPY 105/share from JPY 93/share. Management aligned the higher distribution with its 45% consolidated dividend payout ratio policy, reflecting confidence in the upgraded earnings outlook. The full-year EPS guidance climbed 8.2% to JPY 232.49/share. The upward revision signals sustained demand in energy markets and suggests management’s confidence in sustaining improved profitability through the fiscal year-end.
