TOKYO, Mar 10 (Pulse News Wire) – Rix Corporation (7525.T) updated its strategy aimed at enhancing capital efficiency and share price performance during a board meeting held today. The company reported record-high sales and net profit forecasts for fiscal 2025 but expects operating income and ordinary profit to decline due to increased administrative expenses.

To improve profitability, Rix plans to introduce Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) management across segments and locations beginning in fiscal 2026. Additionally, the firm intends to accelerate development of proprietary products through initiatives such as establishing a new Advanced Solution Department focused on water treatment and battery manufacturing technologies. Capital allocation strategies also saw updates, with Rix setting aside funds for growth investments and shareholder returns.

Starting in fiscal 2025, the company will implement a dividend payout ratio of 4.5%, aiming for more stable profit distribution alongside maintaining a dividend payout rate of 40%. Furthermore, Rix's Indian factory began operations in February 2026, contributing to higher-margin product manufacturing and sales. The company continues to expand its presence in key markets like India and the U.S., focusing on high-growth sectors such as electric vehicle batteries and semiconductor-related services.
