TOKYO, Apr 10 (Pulse News Wire) – Seihyo CO.,LTD. (2872.T) reported revenue of ¥1.055 billion for the fiscal year ended February 2026, marking a 15.6% increase compared to the previous year.
However, operating profit declined significantly to ¥35 million, down 63.6% year-over-year due to rising raw material and energy costs, higher logistics expenses, and additional costs associated with the operation of its newly established factory in Toyama. In addition, the company recorded a net loss of ¥95 million for the same period, reflecting adjustments related to asbestos liabilities and asset retirement obligations at the Toyama facility.
Despite these challenges, SEIHYO highlighted positive contributions from new product launches such as "Kakigōri Cups" and the "Marone" series, which bolstered sales performance during the summer season. Looking ahead, the company forecasts revenue growth of ¥1.1 billion for the fiscal year ending February 2027, anticipating continued support from the expanded production capacity at the Toyama plant and increased demand for its flagship products.
However, uncertainties surrounding raw material prices and logistics costs remain significant risks.
