KUMIAI CHEMICAL, Ordinary Profit Forecast for the Fiscal Year Revised Downward by 28%, Dividend Revised down by 12 Yen
4996 KUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.,LTD. 【J-GAAP】
Guidance Update ReportKUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.,LTD. <4996> [TSE Prime] announced a revision to its performance and dividend in the afternoon session on October 10th (15:00). The consolidated ordinary profit forecast for the fiscal year ending October 2025 has decreased 27.6%, from the previous forecast of 14.5 billion yen to 10.5 billion yen (compared to 18.3 billion yen in the previous period), leading to an increase in the profit decline rate from 20.8% to 42.6%.
Based on the downwardly revised full-year plan announced by the company, our calculation indicates that the May to October period (second half) consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 64.4%, from the previous forecast of 6.20 billion yen to 2.20 billion yen (compared to 5.31 billion yen in the same period of the previous year). This changes the outlook from an anticipated profit increase to a projection of a 58.4% decrease in profit.
Due to a decline in performance, the company has significantly reduced its planned annual dividend for the current fiscal year from the original plan of 34 yen to 22 yen (compared to 34 yen in the previous period).
