Notice Regarding Revision of Full-Year Earnings Guidance and Year-End Dividend Forecast for Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Overview of Revision to Earnings Guidance

Furukawa Co., Ltd. has upwardly revised its consolidated earnings guidance for the full fiscal year ending March 2026. Net sales are expected to be 206.2 billion yen (4.4% increase from previous forecast), operating income 11.0 billion yen (16.0% increase), ordinary income 10.9 billion yen (12.5% increase), and net income attributable to owners of parent 9.705 billion yen (12.5% increase). The Industrial Machinery and Electronics segments are forecasted to fall short of the prior forecasts in some sales and profits, but increased shipments to Europe in the Rock Drill segment and rising overseas market prices in the Metals segment have driven overall growth. Gains on foreign exchange differences and additional sales of policy-held shares resulting in gains on sales of investment securities have also contributed to pushing up profits.

Revision of Dividend Forecast and Future Policy

In response to the upward revision of the full-year earnings forecast, the company has increased the year-end dividend forecast by 10 yen to 50 yen per share. The interim dividend remains unchanged at 30 yen, resulting in a total annual dividend of 80 yen per share. The company intends to prioritize investments for sustainable growth and medium- to long-term enhancement of corporate value, while considering dividend increases and interim dividend payments. It is also noted that future business outlook is based on reasonable assumptions and actual results may differ.
