Q1 2026 earnings summary8 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Net sales for 1Q FY2025 rose 0.3% year-over-year to JPY 30.25 bn, driven by steady 1-DAY lens sales and Southeast Asia acquisitions, but profit declined due to upfront investments, sales mix changes, and lower Ortho-K sales in China.

  • Operating profit dropped 26.9% year-over-year to JPY 1.96 bn, and profit attributable to owners fell 43.8% to JPY 0.99 bn, impacted by increased costs, foreign exchange losses, and a challenging Chinese market.

  • EBITDA decreased 6.3% year-over-year to JPY 4.36 bn, with margin contraction due to higher depreciation and investment in new plant operations.

  • Comprehensive income fell 76.7% year-over-year to JPY 1.13 bn.

Financial highlights

  • Gross profit declined 2.5% year-over-year to JPY 16.1 bn, mainly due to lower Ortho-K sales in China.

  • SGA expenses increased 2.2% year-over-year to JPY 14.15 bn, reflecting continued investment in growth initiatives.

  • Ordinary profit decreased 35.6% year-over-year to JPY 1.77 bn, mainly due to foreign exchange losses.

  • Total assets at quarter-end were JPY 182.63 bn, a decrease of JPY 4.96 bn from the previous fiscal year-end.

  • Basic earnings per share was JPY 13.05, down from JPY 23.18 in the same quarter last year.

Outlook and guidance

  • FY2025 consolidated forecasts remain unchanged: net sales JPY 125 bn, operating profit JPY 10.2 bn, profit attributable to owners JPY 5.8 bn.

  • Net sales expected to rise due to price revisions in Japan, increased 1-DAY lens supply, and overseas expansion, offsetting economic stagnation in China and FX headwinds.

  • Operating profit and EBITDA margins are projected to improve in 2H FY2025 as new plant operations ramp up and price increases take effect.

  • Anticipates expanded global sales of silicone-based daily disposable lenses from Q2, supported by increased production and OEM introductions.

  • Expects continued investment in production capacity while managing expenses to maintain profitability.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
