operating income was JPY 5.29 billion, down 17.4%; and quarterly net income was JPY 4.235 billion, down 1.2%.","jir_summary":"### Overview of Performance\nConsolidated results for the third quarter of fiscal year ending March 2026 saw declines in net sales due to inventory adjustments by customers in the automotive-related sector, amortization of goodwill related to new consolidated subsidiaries, and expenses associated with new business development, resulting in decreases in operating and ordinary income year-over-year. Meanwhile, quarterly net income was maintained at approximately the previous year\u2019s level due to the recognition of gains on sales of policy-owned equity securities. Segment-wise, the declines in sales and profits were noticeable in electronic components and electronic & electric equipment, while the chemical business achieved increases in both sales and profits due to recovery in sales of cosmetic base materials.\n\n### Outlook and Dividend Forecast\nThere is no revision to the full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, with net sales expected at JPY 186.0 billion (up 1.6% YoY), operating income at JPY 6.0 billion (down 24.2%), and net income at JPY 4.9 billion (down 4.5%). The dividend forecast is an annual dividend of JPY 200 (a decrease from JPY 260 the previous year), implying a target payout ratio of 76.8%. This reflects stable shareholder returns based on the new medium-term management plan targeting a DOE of 5% or a payout ratio of 70%.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: JPY 136,027 million (Year-over-Year \u25b33.4%)\nGross Profit: JPY 20,312 million (Year-over-Year \u25b32.9%)\nOperating Income: JPY 5,290 million (Year-over-Year \u25b317.4%)\nOrdinary Income: JPY 4,811 million (Year-over-Year \u25b321.6%)\nQuarterly Net Income: JPY 4,235 million (Year-over-Year \u25b31.2%)\nEPS: JPY 225.02 (Year-over-Year \u25b32.82)\nConsolidated Net Sales (Segment Total): JPY 136,331 million (Year-over-Year \u25b33.4%)\nConsolidated Segment Profit Total: JPY 5,170 million (Year-over-Year \u25b321.6%)\nEquity Ratio: 48.7% (Unknown)\nOperating Cash Flow: JPY 3,844 million (Year-over-Year +JPY 4,289 million)\nInvesting Cash Flow: JPY 233 million (Year-over-Year +JPY 4,682 million)\nFinancing Cash Flow: \u25b3JPY 1,676 million (Year-over-Year \u25b3JPY 9,580 million)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HakutoCoLtd, #Q3FinancialSummary, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: JPY 136,027 million (Year-over-Year \u25b33.4%)\nOperating Income: JPY 5,290 million (Year-over-Year \u25b317.4%)\nQuarterly Net Income: JPY 4,235 million (Year-over-Year \u25b31.2%)","jir_meta_title":"Hakuto Co., Ltd.
