The Fujikura Group announced a substantial increase in profit in its consolidated results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, with revenue of ¥867.4 billion and operating profit of ¥235 billion. It also announced an interim dividend and revisions to its full-year forecasts.
The Fujikura Group published its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027. Revenue was ¥867.4 billion, up 55.2% year on year; operating profit was ¥235 billion, up 160.6%; ordinary profit was ¥243.1 billion, up 165.1%; and interim net profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥180.3 billion, up 168.5%.
Total assets at the end of the period were ¥1,171.6 billion, an increase of ¥202.1 billion from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This reflected an increase in current assets, including cash and deposits, trade receivables and inventories, driven by stronger demand in the information and communications business. Liabilities increased by ¥68.1 billion to ¥444.4 billion, while net assets increased by ¥134 billion to ¥727.2 billion.
The board of directors resolved to pay an interim dividend and also decided to revise the year-end dividend forecast. The company explained that revenue is expected to exceed the previous forecast on the assumption that the information and communications business will remain strong. However, operating profit and ordinary profit are expected to fall below the previous forecasts, partly because the assumed exchange rate for the second half was revised to ¥156/USD, while net profit attributable to owners of the parent is expected to remain unchanged.
