森下仁丹 revised its consolidated ordinary profit forecast for the first half from ¥370 million to ¥660 million, a substantial upward revision. Profit is expected to increase year on year, with first-half profit forecast to reach a record high for the first time in 3 fiscal periods. The full-year forecast was left unchanged at the previous ¥700 million.
森下仁丹 revised its forecast for consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April-September) from ¥370 million to ¥660 million after the market close on 4 November. The revised figure is 2.2 times the year-earlier level, and is expected to set a new record high for first-half profit.
The company also substantially raised its forecasts for revenue from ¥6,300 million to ¥6,600 million, operating profit from ¥330 million to ¥620 million, and net profit from ¥270 million to ¥460 million. After the revision, earnings per share are projected at ¥112.0.
The revision reflects the solid performance of the company’s mainstay Bifina product, particularly in Asia, as well as selling costs coming in below budget following curbs on promotional spending. The full-year forecast for the current fiscal year was left unchanged at ¥700 million based on the available information.
