Oji Holdings Revises Down Consolidated Financial Forecast for Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Oji Holdings Corporation has revised its consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, lowering net sales to ¥1.85 trillion from the prior forecast of ¥1.9 trillion, a 2.6% decrease. Operating profit is expected to drop sharply by 40% to ¥45 billion, while ordinary profit is forecast down 41.7% to ¥35 billion. Profit attributable to owners is anticipated at ¥50 billion, down 23.1%. The revisions are attributed to decreased sales volumes and softer export pulp markets domestically, along with weakened overseas pulp business conditions. Foreign exchange loss reductions provide some mitigation, while divestiture of shareholdings offsets profit decline partially. Despite the downward revisions, Oji Holdings maintains its annual dividend forecast of 36 yen per share, consistent with prior guidance. The company notes that actual results may vary due to changing factors.
