Earnings Report

Sumitomo Forestry Co.,Ltd. <1911> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results in the afternoon session on August 7th (15:00). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2025 (January to June) decreased 5.9% from the same period last year to 87.4 billion yen.

In addition, the full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 17.1%, from the previous forecast of 205 billion yen to 170 billion yen (compared to 197 billion yen in the previous period). This changes the outlook from an anticipated profit increase to a projection of a 14.1% decrease in profit.

Based on the first-half performance announced by the company and the full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary profit for the July to December period (second half) is expected to decrease 21.4% from the same period last year to 82.5 billion yen.

Due to a decline in performance, the company has reduced its planned annual dividend for the current fiscal year from the original plan of 121.5 yen to 100 yen (compared to 145 yen before the 3-for-1 forward stock split in the previous period).

In the most recent three-month period, from April to June (2Q), the consolidated ordinary profit decreased to 50.1 billion yen, a 7.6% decrease compared to the same period last year. The operating profit margin worsened from 9.8% in the same period last year to 7.9%.
