Summary of Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending April 2026 (Japanese GAAP) (Non-consolidated)
MATSUMOTO INC.
School yearbook business; general commercial printing business
In the school yearbook business, the causes were a contraction in market size as the declining birth rate progressed, intensifying price competition amid the downturn in the printing industry, and rising raw material and logistics costs. In the general commercial printing business, the cause was a change in demand for paper media. Regarding the material uncertainty related to the going-concern assumption, there are concerns over cash flow management for the one-year period following the end of the fiscal year due to negative cash flow from operating activities.
Net income of ¥155.955 million, an operating loss of ¥159.327 million, and an ordinary loss of ¥84.893 million. Extraordinary income of ¥246.768 million and extraordinary loss of ¥4.140 million were recorded.
Fiscal year from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2026
For the fiscal year ending April 2027, the Company forecasts net sales of ¥2,186 million, operating income of ¥32 million, ordinary income of ¥10 million, and net income of ¥48 million. The Company will not disclose earnings forecasts for the cumulative second-quarter period and plans to make a timely disclosure if revisions to the earnings forecasts become necessary.
Company response
① Improve profitability by optimizing school yearbook selling prices ② Reduce labor and personnel costs ③ Improve efficiency through the consolidation and sale of sites, among other measures
A 40% reduction in the representative director's compensation was implemented to clarify management responsibility.
The Company will review unprofitable transactions, promote appropriate price revisions, level production workloads through early-submission measures, reorganize production sites, review business processes, standardize and digitalize production processes, and utilize new technologies, including AI. For the fiscal year ending April 2027, the Company forecasts net sales of ¥2,186 million, operating income of ¥32 million, ordinary income of ¥10 million, and net income of ¥48 million.
Based on progress going forward, the Company plans to make a timely disclosure if revisions to the earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending April 2027 become necessary.
