TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Keihan Holdings CO.,LTD. (9045.T) reported higher revenue and profits for the fiscal year ended March 2026, driven by increased sales from property development projects in Kansai Science City, benefits from hosting Osaka-Kansai Expo, and fare adjustments implemented by its railway operations.
The company's consolidated operating revenue reached ¥313.546 million, up from ¥307.1 million in the previous fiscal year. Operating profit stood at ¥46.200 million compared to ¥45.200 million last year. Notable contributions came from transportation services, real estate, leisure, and retail sectors.

Leisure businesses benefited from Expo events and hydrogen fuel cell ship operations. Retail segments also experienced growth through new store openings and improved performance. Looking ahead, Keihan expects reduced revenues and profits in fiscal year 2027 due to decreased Expo effects and higher depreciation expenses associated with capital investments.

The company forecasts a dividend payout ratio of around 86%, aiming for continuous improvement in profitability and distribution policies.
