ASAHI PRINTING CO.,LTD. [3951.T]
TOKYO, Feb 09 (Pulse News Wire) – Asahi Printing CO.,LTD. (3951.T) reported third quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2026, showing revenue growth but lower profits due to rising raw material costs and reduced orders from China.
Revenue reached ¥298 billion, up 298%, while operating profit declined to ¥404 million, down 404%. The company attributed the decrease to higher input prices and reduced demand for its products in China. Despite challenges, packaging machinery sales surged, contributing significantly to overall performance.
The firm's Malaysian factory completed construction in November 2024, enhancing global production capabilities. Asahi Printing continues to focus on efficiency improvements and expanding its presence in Southeast Asia. Looking ahead, the company plans to finalize a mid-term strategy for the fiscal year beginning March 2027, aiming to improve profitability through restructuring and investment in high-growth areas such as packaging systems and labeling services.
Additionally, Asahi Printing intends to enhance shareholder returns through increased dividend payouts and share buybacks, targeting a total payout ratio of around 40% for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
