TOPPAN Holdings announced that it expects consolidated net profit for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to be ¥57 billion, down 12% from the previous fiscal year. Strong performance in semiconductor materials and lower development costs for next-generation products are expected to contribute, and the company also disclosed plans the same day to sell all of its shares in a major subsidiary.
TOPPAN Holdings announced that, for the fiscal year ending March 2027, it expects consolidated revenue to increase 8% year on year to ¥1.95 trillion, operating profit to increase 42% to ¥95 billion, and net profit to reach ¥57 billion. The company said this is expected to be supported by growing demand for materials used in semiconductors and a lower burden from development costs for next-generation products.
The company also announced the same day that it plans to sell all of its shares in artience, an equity-method affiliate. Total proceeds are expected to be approximately ¥45.8 billion, with a gain on the sale of approximately ¥3 billion, which is included in the latest upward revision to the earnings forecast. The company plans to conduct the share buyback through 14 December.
In the most recent consolidated results for the six months ended September 2026, revenue increased 9% year on year to ¥943.8 billion, while net profit rose 52% to ¥45.3 billion. The company said sales of recycled packaging materials and high-performance semiconductor materials, including FC-BGA substrates, remained strong.
