Gunze Limited

Gunze's interim shareholder perks, with a record date of September 30, are approaching, and coupons and gifts will be given based on the number of shares held and the duration of holding. In the first quarter of fiscal year ending March 2027, announced on August 5, operating profit increased 87.6% year on year to 3.387 billion yen, and quarterly net profit turned to a surplus of 2.64 billion yen. However, the profit increase includes one-off factors such as the time lag between selling prices and raw material prices and the rebound from the previous year's special losses, and the full-year plan remains unchanged from the initial forecast, with sales of 132 billion yen and operating profit of 8.8 billion yen. The shareholder perks are as follows: for 100 to less than 200 shares, coupons worth 1,000 to 3,000 yen; for 200 to less than 600 shares, coupons worth 2,500 to 5,000 yen and gifts; for 600 or more shares, coupons worth 5,000 to 10,000 yen and gifts. The perks increase in stages for holding periods of 3 years or more and 5 years or more. The last trading day to qualify for the rights is September 28.
