Uchida Yoko Q3 Net Profit Jumps 45% to ¥12.2bn as IT and Education Solutions Drive 34% Revenue Surge

Uchida Yoko Co., Ltd. (TSE: 8057), the Tokyo-based provider of office furniture and interiors, educational ICT, and network and IT solutions for businesses and schools, posted sharply higher third-quarter cumulative results for FY2026 (the nine months from July 21, 2025 to April 20, 2026) on June 3, 2026. Consolidated revenue jumped 34.2% year-on-year to ¥314,373 million, while operating profit rose 35.0% to ¥15,924 million and ordinary profit climbed 35.5% to ¥16,710 million. Profit attributable to owners of the parent advanced 45.1% to ¥12,178 million, compared with ¥8,394 million a year earlier. Earnings per share reached ¥246.99, up from ¥170.42.

The double-digit top-line growth was driven across the group's core franchises — workplace solutions, where demand for office relocation, renovation and interior fit-out remained firm; educational ICT, where the national GIGA School program continues to fuel hardware refresh and software deployment in schools; and network and IT solutions for corporate customers. The disproportionate jump in net profit relative to revenue reflects operating leverage on the larger sales base. Comprehensive income surged 92.2% to ¥14,157 million, lifted by both the higher bottom line and favourable valuation movements.

Balance sheet expands on stronger activity

Total consolidated assets expanded to ¥214,931 million from ¥174,917 million at the prior year-end, reflecting higher working capital and trade receivables commensurate with the larger sales volume. Net assets rose to ¥82,087 million from ¥70,805 million, driven by retained earnings accumulation. The equity ratio eased to 38.1% from 40.3%, as the asset base grew faster than equity on the back of the revenue surge — a typical pattern for a project- and distribution-heavy business in a high-growth phase. The company's solutions mix, spanning recurring IT services and project-based interior and education work, continues to underpin its profitability profile.

GIGA School and corporate IT demand power the franchises

Uchida Yoko's growth narrative remains anchored to Japan's structural digitalisation of both schools and workplaces. The educational ICT business benefits from the GIGA School initiative, the government program that has equipped students nationwide with digital devices and is now entering renewal and content-deployment cycles. On the corporate side, demand for network infrastructure, IT solutions and modern office environments has supported the workplace and IT services segments. The breadth of the portfolio — furniture and interiors alongside software, networks and managed services — gives the group multiple growth levers and helped deliver the 34% revenue advance through the first three quarters.

Full-year guidance lifted; ¥72 dividend after 1-for-5 split

For full-year FY2026 (ending July 20, 2026), Uchida Yoko guides for revenue of ¥421,000 million (+24.9%), operating profit of ¥15,400 million (+26.5%), ordinary profit of ¥16,300 million (+24.2%), and net profit of ¥11,500 million (+17.0%), equivalent to EPS of ¥233.22. Nine-month operating profit of ¥15,924 million has already surpassed the full-year operating-profit guidance, underscoring the front-loaded earnings cadence of the year. On capital returns, the company executed a 1-for-5 stock split effective January 21, 2026, and the per-share dividend and EPS figures reflect the post-split share count. The FY2026 dividend forecast is ¥72 per share at year-end — equivalent to ¥360 on a pre-split-equivalent basis. The substantial revenue and profit growth, combined with the shareholder-friendly split and dividend, reinforce the group's positioning as a beneficiary of Japan's education and corporate digitalisation cycle.
