TOHO CO.,LTD [9602.T]
TOKYO, Jan 14 (Pulse News Wire) – TOHO CO.,LTD (9602.T) reported robust third-quarter results ending November 30, 2025, with operating profit reaching ¥60.00 billion and net income hitting ¥46.50 billion. Key films such as "Demon Slayer," "National Treasure," and "Chainsaw Man: Reze Chapter" drove strong performance in its movie division.
Despite positive trends, the company maintained its full-year forecast due to cautious expectations for the fourth quarter. In the film sector, revenue surged to ¥281.3 billion, up 47% year-over-year, while operating profit climbed to ¥72.91 billion, marking significant growth. The IP and anime division saw increased contributions from Science SARU and GKIDS but faced challenges with higher amortization expenses, leading to reduced profitability.
Meanwhile, the theater division managed to maintain high attendance rates despite the temporary closure of the Imperial Theater. For the upcoming fiscal year, TOHO plans to increase annual dividends per share to ¥170 based on its medium-term plan, aiming for a dividend payout ratio of more than 35%. Additionally, the company intends to actively repurchase shares to enhance shareholder returns.
