Fukoku Co.,Ltd. Revises Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2026 Fukoku Co.,Ltd. revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 . For the period, the company expects net sales of JPY 88,000 million, operating profit of JPY 3,700 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 2,100 million and profit per share of JPY 147.65 compared to net sales of JPY 88,000 million, operating profit of JPY 5,000 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 3,500 million and profit per share of JPY 217.13 in previous guidance. (Reasons for revision) Regarding the full-year consolidated financial results forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, although net sales have been affected by weak vehicle sales of Japanese automakers in China and ASEAN and by a decline in orders for certain products domestically, the Company expects overall results to be broadly in line with its plan due to steady orders for EV-related products in Korea and a change in the fiscal year-end of its consolidated subsidiary in India. On the profit and loss side, however, the Company has been unable to fully offset the continued high level of domestic raw material costs and rising labor costs through efforts such as productivity improvements, rationalization and price pass-through, and these factors are affecting profitability. While the Company will continue to pursue all possible companywide measures to improve earnings, achieving the previously announced full-year consolidated earnings forecast has become difficult; accordingly, the Company is revising its forecast as described above.
