Nishikawa Keisoku Maintains Flat Net Profit Amid Revenue Growth

Revenue Growth and Margin Pressure

During the first six months of the fiscal year, Nishikawa Keisoku saw its revenue rise to ¥19.08 billion, up from ¥17.72 billion in the prior year. However, this growth was tempered by a slight contraction in profitability. Operating profit declined to ¥1.88 billion from ¥1.97 billion, while pretax profit settled at ¥1.97 billion, according to the company’s latest financial disclosure.

Despite the dip in operating income, the company’s bottom line remained resilient. Net profit was unchanged year-over-year at ¥1.36 billion, resulting in earnings per share of ¥401.09. These results, calculated under Japanese accounting standards, highlight a period of high volume but increased cost sensitivity.

Dividend Outlook and Projections

The company also provided updated guidance on its shareholder return policy. While the midyear dividend remains at zero, the board has adjusted the final payout expectations.

• The projected annual dividend is set at ¥240.00 per share.
• This marks a decrease from the ¥320.00 distributed in the previous fiscal year.
• All future dividend figures remain subject to final board approval and fiscal year-end performance.
