Brother Turns Printing Strength into Record 2025 Earnings

Brother Industries released its consolidated financial results for fiscal year 2025. Strong performance in the company’s Printing & Solutions business and favorable foreign exchange conditions helped drive both revenue and net profit to record highs.

Under this reporting basis, Brother Industries posted full-year revenue of ¥893.46 billion ($5.70 billion), up 5.3% year over year. Segment profit reached ¥83.63 billion ($534 million), rising 10.8%, while operating profit increased 15.0% to ¥77.87 billion ($497 million).

The company’s core Printing & Solutions (P&S) segment maintained stable growth throughout the fiscal year. Following price adjustments and improving demand across multiple global markets, sales volumes of printers and multifunction devices recovered, while label printers and consumables continued to perform strongly.

Annual revenue for the segment reached ¥570.58 billion ($3.64 billion), an increase of ¥25.8 billion ($165 million) from the previous year, accounting for more than 60% of the group’s total revenue. Despite restructuring expenses in the fourth quarter, foreign exchange losses, and higher U.S. tariff-related costs, the division generated segment profit of ¥66.4 billion ($424 million), remaining the group’s largest profit contributor.

Brother’s Industrial Printing business recorded modest growth. Profit in the industrial printing segment declined due to impairment losses on industrial printer assets, currency fluctuations, and increased tariff costs. However, the integration of MUTOH Holdings is expected to support both revenue and profit growth in the next fiscal year.

For fiscal year 2026, Brother Industries forecasts revenue of ¥910 billion ($5.81 billion), up 1.9% year over year. Operating profit is projected to rise 9.2% to ¥85 billion ($543 million), while net profit attributable to shareholders is expected to increase 6.5% to ¥72 billion ($460 million).

Despite ongoing risks related to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, rising raw material prices, and changes in U.S. tariff policy, the company expects continued growth driven by expansion in industrial businesses and synergies from the MUTOH acquisition. While the Printing & Solutions segment may face short-term pressure from external market conditions, the Industrial Printing business is expected to deliver stronger growth and continue supporting the group’s overall performance.
