NHK Spring Profit Declines 42.2% as Costs Rise, Eyes Recovery With India Expansion NHK Spring reported a 42.2% decline in consolidated profit for the year to March 31, 2026, while net sales moved 1.9% higher, citing higher costs, asset impairments and increased deferred tax liabilities.
Management described the impairments and tax charges as one-off items with limited effect on the next fiscal year and kept the annual dividend only slightly lower, pointing to what it describes as a strong financial position.
Non-consolidated net income improved, supported by foreign exchange gains, dividend income and gains on investment securities. The company plans overseas expansion, including a new automotive unit in India, and is targeting better capital efficiency and shareholder returns by FY2027.
The key question now is how effectively NHK Spring can convert its planned overseas expansion and capital efficiency focus into more resilient profit, given that a large part of the latest profit decline is tied to items management labels as one-off.
Readers should watch execution risks around the India automotive unit and any further cost or tax surprises that could affect the path toward the FY2027 profit and sales goals. Announcement • Apr 11
