中央製作所 reported a substantial year-on-year increase in cumulative second-quarter ordinary profit and revised its full-year profit forecast upward from the previous ¥100 million to ¥150 million.
中央製作所 announced its earnings after the afternoon session on 12 November 2024. Cumulative second-quarter ordinary profit for April–September was ¥107 million on a non-consolidated basis, a sharp increase to 11 times the result for the same period of the previous year. Sales progressed largely in line with the plan. At the same time, the full-year ordinary profit forecast was revised upward from the previous ¥100 million to ¥150 million, and the company now expects profit to increase 9.5% for the current fiscal year.
By quarter, ordinary profit for the most recent 3 months, July–September, increased substantially to ¥73 million, while the sales operating margin improved to 6.5% from 0.3% in the same period of the previous year. The full-year forecast was revised after taking into account factors including the effect of subsidy receipts for the interim period being pushed back to the second half.
