Kissei Pharmaceutical reported fiscal 2026 net sales of ¥97.4 billion, up 10.3% year on year, but swung to an operating loss of ¥2.9 billion and an ordinary loss of ¥1.2 billion, while profit attributable to owners of parent rose 15.2% to ¥13.8 billion. The company strengthened its balance sheet, with total assets climbing to ¥275.1 billion and net assets to ¥231.5 billion, and it expanded shareholder returns by raising the annual dividend to ¥160 per share, including an 80th-anniversary commemorative payout, alongside moves to introduce a restricted stock incentive plan and execute share buybacks. For the year to March 2027, Kissei forecasts slightly lower full-year sales of ¥95.7 billion but a recovery to ¥4.4 billion in operating profit and ¥6.0 billion in ordinary profit, with net income projected to increase to ¥14.5 billion. The guidance implies improved profitability despite modest top-line pressure and reflects the impact of treasury share disposal and repurchases on earnings per share, while a planned ¥170 annual dividend, again incorporating a commemorative element in the first half, underscores management’s commitment to capital efficiency and shareholder-friendly policies.
