Disco's Net Income Rises 9.4% in Fiscal Year 2025

-- Disco's (TYO:6146) net income rose 9.4% to 135.5 billion yen for the fiscal year 2025 from 123.9 billion yen a year earlier.

The semiconductor company's net income per share increased to 1,249.84 yen from 1,143.26 yen a year ago, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Wednesday.

Net sales climbed 11% to 436.9 billion yen for the full year ended March 31 from 393.3 billion yen in the prior year.

In a separate disclosure, Disco set its forecasts for the fiscal first quarter ending June 30, which include a net income of 29.5 billion yen, net income per share of 271.98 yen, and net sales of 106.1 billion yen.

Disco only provides business forecasts one quarter ahead due to rapid swings in customer investment appetite that make demand prediction difficult in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

In a separate filing, the company raised its year-end dividend payout to 376 yen, from 308 yen previously, and payable on June 25.

This brings the annual dividend of 505 yen per share for fiscal 2025, which is higher than the 413 yen per share paid in the previous year, though the forecast for fiscal 2026 dividends has not been determined at this point.
