Oji Holdings Revises Q2 FY2026 Financial Forecast Downward Amid Challenging Overseas Market Conditions

Oji Holdings Corporation has announced a revision to its consolidated financial forecast for the second quarter of FY2026 (April 1 to September 30, 2025). The company expects net sales of ¥915 billion, a 1.6% decrease from the previous forecast of ¥930 billion. Operating profit is forecast at ¥16.7 billion, down 20.5%, ordinary profit at ¥8.8 billion, down 20%, and profit attributable to owners at ¥10.9 billion, down 27.3%. The revision is mainly due to weaker overseas business performance caused by declining market conditions for pulp and related products. The full-year forecast remains under review with results due November 7, 2025. Importantly, the annual dividend forecast remains unchanged at ¥36 per share, split evenly at half-year and year-end.
