Tsukishima Lifts Full-Year Profit Forecast on Backlog Execution and Share Sales

By

Tsukishima (TYO:6332) now expects full-year profit attributable to owners of parent to reach 16.9 billion yen for the fiscal year ended March 31, up from its previous forecast of 15 billion yen.

The water equipment manufacturer raised earnings per share forecasts to 412.43 yen from 380.64 yen initially and net sales estimates to 149 billion yen from 144 billion yen, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Thursday.

The upward revision is driven by progress in executing a substantial backlog of received orders, which has boosted net sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit.

Additionally, the company recorded higher extraordinary income from the sale of cross-shareholdings, contributing to the profit increase.

As a result, Tsukishima raised its year-end dividend forecast to 43 yen per share from 40 yen per share previously, bringing the total annual dividend to 85 yen per share, higher than the 78 yen paid in the prior fiscal year.
