Consolidated net sales were revised upward by 600 million yen compared with the previous forecast, to 50,200 million yen on a consolidated basis. Ordinary income was revised up by 160 million yen, and net income was revised up by 110 million yen. The company also raised full-year and non-consolidated guidance similarly, resulting in an increase in net income per share to 96.04 yen. In conjunction with these revisions, the company announced an increase of the year-end dividend to 10 yen. The primary drivers were continued recovery in the automotive-related market, a shift in sales mix toward higher-margin products, cost reductions, rigorous control of selling, general and administrative expenses, and productivity improvements that contributed to earnings enhancement.\n\n### Shareholder Returns and Outlook\nIn line with its shareholder return policy, the company increased the full-year dividend forecast and set the year-end dividend at 10 yen. This aligns with the company\u2019s emphasis on returning profits to shareholders. Going forward, Nippon Kinzoku will continue to monitor potential headwinds such as rising costs and global economic uncertainty while pursuing improvements in profitability. The current outlook assumes sustained robust demand in the medium term and an increasing proportion of high value-added products, aiming for further improvements in sales and profits.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales (Consolidated): 25,342 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 24,600 million yen: +742 million yen, change rate 3.0%)\nOperating Income (Consolidated): 772 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 630 million yen: +142 million yen, change rate 22.6%)\nOrdinary Income (Consolidated): 635 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 360 million yen: +275 million yen, change rate 76.6%)\nInterim Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Consolidated): 446 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 230 million yen: +216 million yen, change rate 94.0%)\nInterim Net Income per Share (Consolidated): 69.12 yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 35.63 yen: +33.49 yen)\nNet Sales (Full-Year, Consolidated): 50,200 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 49,600 million yen: +600 million yen, change rate 1.2%)\nOperating Income (Full-Year, Consolidated): 1,320 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 1,270 million yen: +50 million yen, change rate 3.9%)\nOrdinary Income (Full-Year, Consolidated): 920 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 760 million yen: +160 million yen, change rate 21.1%)\nNet Income (Full-Year, Consolidated): 620 million yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 510 million yen: +110 million yen, change rate 21.6%)\nNet Income per Share (Full-Year, Consolidated): 96.04 yen (Compared with previous forecast (A) of 79.00 yen: +17.04 yen)\nDividend Forecast (Annual): 10 yen (Year-end) (Previous forecast 0 yen \u2192 Year-end 10 yen, total 10 yen)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#AutomotiveParts, #EarningsRevision, #DividendIncrease","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales (Consolidated): 25,342 million yen \u2192 50,200 million yen (Full-Year)\nOrdinary Income (Consolidated): 635 million yen \u2192 920 million yen (Full-Year)\nNet Income (Consolidated): 446 million yen \u2192 620 million yen (Full-Year)\nInterim Net Income per Share: 69.12 yen \u2192 96.04 yen\nDividend Forecast: Year-end 10 yen \u00b7 Annual 10 yen","jir_meta_title":"Nippon Kinzoku Co., Ltd. \u2014 Revision to FY March 2027 Earnings Guidance and Dividend Increase","jir_meta_description":"Summary of Nippon Kinzoku's second-quarter results for FY March 2027, revision to full-year guidance and announcement of a year-end dividend increase to 10 yen.
