Earnings Report

NOK CORPORATION <7240> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results after the market closed on November 10th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April to September) was 21.5 billion yen, a 2.3% increase compared to the same period last year, resulting in an increase in profits compared to the previous forecast of a 2.9% decrease.

However, the full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 7.0%, from the previous forecast of 48.5 billion yen to 45.1 billion yen (compared to 48.0 billion yen in the previous period). This changes the outlook from an anticipated profit increase to a projection of a 6.2% 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 October to March period (second half) is expected to decrease 12.7% from the same period last year to 23.5 billion yen.

At the same time, the company has increased its planned annual dividend for the current fiscal year from the original plan of 110 yen to 130 yen (compared to 105 yen in the previous period).

In the most recent three-month period, from July to September (2Q), the consolidated ordinary profit increased 42.8% from the same period last year, reaching 12.9 billion yen. However, the operating profit margin worsened from 6.5% in the same period last year to 4.6%.
