TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – OUG Holdings Inc. (8041.T) reported higher revenue and profits for the fiscal year ended March 2026.
Revenue reached ¥363.6 billion, up from ¥333.197 billion last year, while net income increased to ¥55.30 billion from ¥45.27 billion. Despite strong performance, the company anticipates challenges due to rising costs and uncertain economic conditions. In its latest earnings release, OUG highlighted significant contributions from its aquaculture division, driven by high prices for farmed sea bream. However, concerns remain over future trends in sea bream pricing and consumption patterns. The company also noted ongoing issues with raw material costs, particularly feed prices, which have remained elevated amid a weakening yen.
For the fiscal year ending March 2027, OUG forecasts a more challenging environment characterized by potential declines in fish prices and heightened geopolitical uncertainties. Management plans to focus on enhancing sales and procurement capabilities, along with customer-centric strategies, to navigate through these difficulties. Regarding dividend policy, OUG intends to maintain a stable payout ratio based on equity capital (DOE). The company raised its DOE target to 75% for the current fiscal year, reflecting improved financial health and larger profit margins. Expected dividends per share for the fiscal year ending March 2026 are set at ¥167, with projections of ¥172 for the next fiscal year.
