Riso FY2025 Q3 Profit Slips

Riso FY2025 Q3 Profit Slips

Riso Kagaku reported lower revenue and operating profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as weaker domestic demand for digital duplicators offset steady overseas sales and benefits from its inkjet head integration.

Net sales declined 1.1% year on year to ¥56.47 billion ($367.8 million), while operating profit fell 13.7% to ¥3.69 billion ($24.0 million). Ordinary profit decreased 5.4% to ¥4.33 billion ($28.2 million). Profit attributable to owners of parent rose 19.5% to ¥3.23 billion ($21.0 million), supported by foreign exchange gains and one-off investment securities sales.

The printing equipment-related business — which includes inkjet printers, digital duplicators and the inkjet head business — accounted for over 97% of total revenue. Segment revenue edged down 1.0% year on year to ¥55.23 billion ($359.8 million), while segment profit dropped 14.2% to ¥3.47 billion ($22.6 million).

Within the segment, overseas sales increased 1.0% year on year to ¥30.51 billion ($198.7 million), but domestic sales declined 3.4% to ¥24.72 billion ($161.1 million), primarily due to lower digital duplicator sales in Japan. While overseas markets exceeded prior-year levels, the decline in Japan offset those gains.

The integration of the inkjet head business in July 2024 lifted gross profit and generated cost synergies, although higher SG&A expenses weighed on margins. Foreign exchange gains of ¥272 million ($1.8 million) were recorded, compared with foreign exchange losses a year earlier.

Riso maintained its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, projecting revenue of ¥77.2 billion ($502.8 million) and operating profit of ¥5.3 billion ($34.5 million).
