Makita Annual Revenue Rises 3.2% to JPY 777.6 Billion

Makita reported sales growth but slightly lower operating profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Its April 28 results release put annual revenue at JPY 777.6 billion, up 3.2%, and operating profit at JPY 104.705 billion, down 2.2%.

The operating margin narrowed to 13.5% from 14.2% a year earlier. Profit attributable to owners was broadly stable at JPY 79.414 billion, an increase of 0.1%. The figures show revenue advancing without a corresponding increase in earnings from operations.

Operating cash flow reached JPY 102.336 billion, compared with JPY 129.874 billion in the previous fiscal year. Cash and cash equivalents at year-end nevertheless rose slightly to JPY 257.385 billion. The company reported an equity ratio attributable to owners of 84.4%, providing additional context on its balance sheet.

For the following year ending March 2027, Makita forecast revenue of JPY 820 billion and operating profit of JPY 110 billion. Those forecasts accompanied results for April 2025 through March 2026, rather than the calendar year 2025. The consolidated figures cover the manufacturer's wider power-tool and outdoor-equipment operations and should be read on that fiscal-year basis when comparing them with other suppliers.
