EXEDY Corporation [7278.T]
TOKYO, Jan 28 (Pulse News Wire) – Exedy Corporation (7278.T) reported a revenue decline in its third quarter ended December 31, 2025, due to reduced orders in North America and Japan, along with unfavorable exchange rates. However, the company raised its full-year forecast based on strong sales growth in Asia and cost-cutting measures, including the withdrawal of unprofitable operations in the U.S.
For the quarter, revenue was ¥2,264.5 billion compared to ¥2,334 billion in the same period last year, marking a decrease of 69 billion yen. Despite lower revenues, operating profit increased to ¥167.4 billion from ¥161.8 billion, driven by higher selling prices in China and other parts of Asia, offsetting costs associated with human capital investments and the withdrawal of non-viable subsidiaries.
Looking ahead, Exedy revised its full-year outlook upward, projecting operating profit to reach ¥220 billion, up from the previous estimate of ¥210 billion. The company attributed the improved forecast to stronger-than-expected performance through the third quarter and more favorable foreign exchange conditions than initially anticipated.
In addition, Exedy maintained its optimal capital structure, aiming for a total payout ratio of 45 percent for fiscal year 2026, ensuring stable dividend payments while continuing to invest in strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing corporate value and efficiency.
