DIJET INDUSTRIAL (6138) FY2026 Q3 Earnings Report

Quick View

Executive Summary

In Q3, the Company recorded higher revenue and earnings, with the notable feature that the substantial growth in Operating Income and Net Income was significantly supported by the recognition of extraordinary income. Revenue was ¥6.64B (+3.9% YoY), Operating Income was ¥0.26B (+285.2%; ¥0.07B in the previous year), Ordinary Income was ¥0.32B (+454.9%), and Net Income was ¥0.42B (+2092.6%; ¥0.02B in the previous year). The primary drivers of the earnings increase were the maintenance of a gross margin of 35.4% and the recognition of ¥0.18B in gains on the sale of investment securities as extraordinary income. The Operating Income margin remained at 4.0%, below the industry median of 8.6%.

Factors Affecting Earnings

【Revenue】Revenue was ¥6.64B, representing a 3.9% increase YoY. The business comprises a single segment engaged in the manufacture and sale of cemented carbide products and tools, and no segment-level breakdown is disclosed. However, the full-year growth rate of +3.9% indicates moderate demand expansion. Progress is considered generally steady against the full-year forecast of ¥9.20B (+4.6% YoY).

【Profit and Loss】Operating Income improved substantially to ¥0.26B (¥0.07B in the previous year, +285.2%). Although the cost of sales ratio increased slightly from the previous year, the gross margin remained broadly unchanged at 35.4%, while the SG&A ratio also remained generally stable at 31.4%. In non-operating income, foreign exchange gains of ¥0.05B and dividend income of ¥0.05B supported Ordinary Income of ¥0.32B (+454.9%). In addition, ¥0.18B in gains on the sale of investment securities recognized as extraordinary income lifted Profit Before Tax to ¥0.50B and Net Income to ¥0.42B (+2092.6%). It should be noted that the improvement in Operating Income comprises both a component attributable to the maintenance of core-business gross profitability and non-recurring factors, namely extraordinary income and non-operating income. Although the Company recorded higher revenue and earnings, the quality of earnings was significantly affected by temporary factors.

Segment Analysis

The Company operates a single segment engaged in the manufacture and sale of cemented carbide products and tools, and disclosure of reportable segments has been omitted. As no regional revenue composition is disclosed, no segment-level increase/decrease analysis can be performed.

Key Financial Metrics

【Profitability】The Operating Income margin was 4.0% (an improvement from the previous year’s level of 0.9 times), while the Net Income margin was 6.3%. Both improved significantly from the previous year, against a backdrop of a 35.4% gross margin. Annualized ROE was 6.5%, primarily due to the increase in the Net Income margin, although the underlying level excluding extraordinary income is considered to be lower than this.【Cash Quality】Although Operating Cash Flow is not disclosed, cash and deposits increased to ¥1.73B from the previous year, securing short-term financial liquidity. On the other hand, with inventories of ¥2.09B and accounts receivable of ¥1.79B, working capital is substantial, indicating room for improvement in asset efficiency.【Investment Efficiency】Net assets were ¥8.60B against total assets of ¥16.94B. Total asset turnover remained low, suggesting room for improvement in asset efficiency relative to the industry.【Financial Soundness】The Equity Ratio was 50.7% (up from 49.8% in the previous year). Although the Company has interest-bearing debt, including long-term borrowings of ¥2.71B, its capital structure remains at a stable level.

Cash Flow Analysis

Disclosure of the statement of cash flows is limited, making analysis based on individual figures for Operating, Investing, and Financing Cash Flows difficult. However, from a balance sheet perspective, cash and deposits increased to ¥1.73B from ¥1.35B in the previous year, a rise of +28.2%, indicating an improvement in cash balances during the period. Meanwhile, working capital, including inventories (¥2.09B) and accounts receivable (¥1.79B), remained at a high level, and the accumulation of inventory and receivables may have weighed on cash generation. Gains on the sale of investment securities of ¥0.18B were recognized as extraordinary income, and the cash inflow from this sale is considered to have contributed to the increase in cash.

Quality of Earnings

The improvement in earnings for the current period reflects a mixture of recurring and temporary factors. The improvement in Operating Income to ¥0.26B reflects, in part, the underlying strength of the core business in maintaining its gross margin. However, non-operating income such as foreign exchange gains of ¥0.05B and dividend income of ¥0.05B contributed to the increase in Ordinary Income to ¥0.32B; these are volatile sources of income dependent on market conditions and the composition of assets held. Furthermore, the increase in Profit Before Tax to ¥0.50B and Net Income to ¥0.42B was significantly supported by the temporary extraordinary income of ¥0.18B from gains on the sale of investment securities. Comprehensive Income was ¥0.74B, exceeding Net Income of ¥0.42B. The difference consisted of valuation-related items such as foreign currency translation adjustments of ¥0.11B and valuation difference on securities of ¥0.22B, which must be distinguished from realized gains and losses. Accordingly, the current-period earnings level was strongly affected by non-recurring factors in addition to improvements in the core business, and assessment of earnings quality requires confirmation of the underlying earnings power excluding temporary items.

Earnings Forecasts and Guidance

The full-year forecasts remain unchanged at Revenue of ¥9.20B (+4.6% YoY), Operating Income of ¥0.50B (+128.1%), Ordinary Income of ¥0.45B (+129.9%), Net Income of ¥0.55B, and EPS of ¥185.08. Cumulative Q3 Revenue of ¥6.64B represents 72.2% of the full-year forecast, while Operating Income of ¥0.26B represents 52.6% of the full-year forecast. Revenue is progressing steadily, whereas, excluding reliance on extraordinary income, Operating Income is at a level that requires improvement in the core business during Q4 to achieve the full-year target.

Shareholder Returns

The full-year dividend forecast is ¥40 per share (year-end dividend of ¥25; no Q2 dividend). Based on current-period Net Income of ¥0.42B (EPS of ¥141.41), the Payout Ratio is approximately 21.6% when calculated using the ¥40 dividend against the full-year forecast Net Income of ¥0.55B and EPS of ¥185.08, representing a conservative level. Given the cash and deposits balance of ¥1.73B, no significant concern regarding the financial sustainability of the current dividend level is apparent at this time.

Risk Factors

1. Working Capital Accumulation Risk: Inventories of ¥2.09B and accounts receivable of ¥1.79B represent a substantial proportion of asset scale, and delays in collection or inventory clearance could place pressure on cash flow.

2. Risk of Reliance on Temporary Items: Of current-period Net Income of ¥0.42B, gains on the sale of investment securities of ¥0.18B were recognized as extraordinary income. The earnings boost of a similar magnitude may not continue in subsequent periods.

3. Foreign Exchange Risk: Non-operating income includes foreign exchange gains of ¥0.05B, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may affect future non-operating income and expenses.

Theoretical Share Price (Reference Value)

Sensitivity: ¥2,511–¥2,657 at ±1% for the cost of equity, and ¥2,572–¥2,589 at ±0.1 for ω.

Notes:

• As forecast ROE is below the cost of equity, the theoretical value will be below book value per share.
• Net assets as of the quarter-end are used (there is a timing difference from the full-year forecast).
• As net assets include non-controlling interests, the theoretical value may be calculated somewhat higher.
