TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Sharp Corp reported improved operating profit despite a revenue decline in fiscal 2025. Total revenue decreased but operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit exceeded forecasts.
Operating profit rose to ¥48.5 billion compared to ¥47.4 billion last year, driven by cost reductions and favorable exchange rates. The company also saw significant improvements in its capital position, with self-capital increasing from 10.5% to 19.6%. In the fourth quarter, Sharp's display devices division reduced its lower operating profit significantly, contributing to overall profitability. The company expects continued growth in 2026, forecasting revenues of ¥1,770 billion and operating profit of ¥49 billion.
Sharp plans to enhance its focus on high-value products across all segments while managing costs effectively. The company’s Smart Life segment showed mixed results, with strong performance in home appliances offset by declines in TV sales. In contrast, the Smart Work Places segment experienced robust growth in PC sales and office solutions. Display Devices faced challenges due to declining smartphone demand but showed signs of improvement.
