TOKYO, Apr 10 (Pulse News Wire) – HIDAY HIDAKA Corp. (7611.T) reported strong revenue growth for the fiscal year ending February 2026, achieving sales of ¥62.20 billion, up from ¥59.7 million in its initial forecast.
Operating profit reached ¥3.79 billion, surpassing the previous estimate of ¥3 billion. Despite higher costs due to increased raw material prices and employee wages, the company managed to absorb these expenses through sustained customer traffic growth and effective promotional campaigns. Key factors contributing to the improved performance included robust sales from new stores, consistent increases in customer visits across existing locations, and successful marketing initiatives such as point programs and cashless promotions.
Additionally, the extension of operating hours previously shortened during the pandemic also contributed positively to revenues. In terms of capital structure, the company's net assets decreased slightly by ¥988 million compared to the previous year, primarily due to the acquisition of treasury shares worth ¥39.8 million. HIDAY HIDAKA remains committed to maintaining a stable dividend payout policy, targeting a minimum Dividend Payout Ratio (DOE) of over 30%, while actively considering share buybacks based on investment opportunities and stock price levels.
Looking ahead, the company forecasts continued growth, projecting sales of ¥63.9 million and operating profits of ¥3.79 billion for the upcoming fiscal year.
