Takara Holdings Q2 2026 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Group net sales increased 5.7% year-over-year to ¥186,556 million, led by Takara Shuzo Int'l Group's strong overseas alcoholic beverages and M&A in Japanese food wholesale, while Takara Shuzo and Takara Bio Group saw declines due to prior demand shifts and a weak life science market.
Operating income for the group decreased 26.1% year-over-year to ¥7,786 million, as gains in the overseas alcoholic beverages business were offset by higher SGA expenses, interest expenses, foreign exchange losses, and declines in other segments.
Net income attributable to owners of the parent fell 37.3%, impacted by impairment losses at Takara Bio Group, partial reversal of deferred tax assets, and lower operating income, despite extraordinary income from asset sales.
Compared to forecasts, all major segments underperformed in net sales, and group operating and net income were below expectations.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
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.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
