Punch Industry Announces Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

On May 13, 2026, Punch Industry Co., Ltd., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, unveiled its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 and outlined its medium-term management plan, "Value Creation 28" (VC28). The company specializes in the manufacture and sale of precision mold parts, factory automation equipment, and associated components.

Key Financial Highlights

Despite a slowdown in domestic orders within Japan, Punch Industry experienced growth thanks to robust overseas performance, particularly in China. The consolidated sales reached 42.1 billion yen, representing a 3.1% increase compared to the previous year. In Japan, while the overall annual revenue decreased due to stagnant economic conditions, the fourth quarter saw a rebound in sales. Notably, the overseas business maintained strong performance throughout the year, with significant contributions from China, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Sales Breakdown

• - Domestic Sales: 11 billion yen (5.1% decrease from the previous year)
• - China Sales: 24.9 billion yen (6.5% increase)
• - Southeast Asia Sales: 2 billion yen (4.6% increase)
• - Other Regions: 4.1 billion yen (6.9% increase)

Profit Analysis

Operating income was reported at 2.031 billion yen, showing a remarkable 20.5% increase from the previous fiscal year. Similarly, ordinary income rose to 2.211 billion yen, marking a 36.4% increase. However, net profit for the period decreased compared to the previous year due to the recording of goodwill impairment related to ASCe Co., Ltd., a subsidiary. This was partially offset by increased sales covering the rise in transportation costs and travel expenses due to enhanced sales activities in Japan.

Dividend Policy

Punch Industry has established a dividend policy effective January 2023, targeting a payout ratio of over 30% and a shareholders’ equity dividend yield (DOE) of over 3%. This policy will continue into the VC28 plan announced alongside the fiscal results, with an anticipated annual dividend of 20 yen per share for the fiscal year ending March 2027, reflecting an increase of 0.35 yen from the prior year.

In a pioneering move, Punch Industry hosted its analyst briefing in a hybrid format, combining both in-person attendance and online streaming. The briefing covered the financial results and the VC28 plan, prompting insightful questions from attendees regarding domestic order recovery and risk management regarding rising raw material prices.
