TOKYO, Apr 02 (Pulse News Wire) – GRAPHITE DESIGN INC. (7847.T) revised its fiscal year 2026 earnings forecast, citing reduced sales expectations and increased costs.
The company previously announced its full-year estimates on September 26, 2025, but now expects revenues to decrease by 1.5% to ¥2.711 billion. Operating profit is projected to drop by 38.1% million yen to 156 million yen, while ordinary profit is expected to fall by 11.2% million yen to ¥215 million. Net income is anticipated to decline by 13.8% million yen to ¥144 million.
The revision reflects ongoing challenges in the domestic leisure goods market, where consumer trends towards diversified recreational activities have led to fragmented purchasing patterns. Additionally, inventory management efforts by club manufacturers have intensified competition. As a result, custom orders for the company's proprietary shafts, which were key to the initial projections, have fallen short of expectations, leading to higher production costs and lower gross margins.
Management noted that these adjustments account for current market conditions and available data, acknowledging that future developments could impact final results.
