Earnings Report

STAR MICRONICS CO.,LTD. <7718> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results after the market closed on August 12th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2025 (January to June) expanded 2.70 billion yen, an increase 34.7% compared to the same period last year, resulting in an increase in profits compared to the previous forecast of a 5.4% decrease.

However, the full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 17.0%, from the previous forecast of 5.30 billion yen to 4.40 billion yen (compared to 4.51 billion yen in the previous period).

In the most recent three-month period, from April to June (2Q), the consolidated ordinary profit grew 6.5% from the same period last year, reaching 1.07 billion yen. The operating profit margin improved from 4.5% in the same period last year to 6.4%.
