TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Lion Corporation (4912.T) reported robust sales growth for its fiscal first quarter ending March 31, 2026, with revenues reaching ¥99.2 billion, up 11.5% year-over-year. Operating profit stood at ¥6.015 billion, reflecting a 28.84% increase compared to the same period last year.
Net income attributable to parent shareholders reached ¥4.206 billion, marking a significant improvement from the previous year's figure. The company attributed its strong performance to strategic initiatives such as enhancing its oral healthcare portfolio through high-value product development and expanding its beauty care division via the acquisition of Australian natural skincare products manufacturer PNB Consolidated Pty Ltd. Additionally, Lion continued to streamline its chemical business portfolio by deciding to divest two subsidiaries’ shares. In detail, the consumer goods sector saw a revenue increase of ¥4.206 billion, while industrial products experienced a decline due to market conditions.
Overseas operations contributed positively, with Southeast Asia/Oceania and North East Asia reporting substantial gains despite regional economic challenges. Notably, Thailand’s sales were impacted by geopolitical factors affecting exports, whereas Malaysia benefited from aggressive promotional activities. Looking ahead, Lion maintains its optimistic outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year, reaffirming its previously disclosed earnings forecast without revisions. The company expects continued growth driven by ongoing efforts to strengthen its business portfolio and enhance operational efficiency across various segments.
