Brother Industries, Ltd. has lifted its full-year earnings forecast following stronger-than-expected results in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The Japanese electronics and machinery maker reported quarterly sales of ¥224.7 billion, up 5.7% year-on-year, and operating profit of ¥22.8 billion, rising ¥6.0 billion from a year earlier. Both figures exceeded internal projections.
Growth was driven by the Printing & Solutions segment, where sales climbed 4.5%, supported by rising demand for laser and inkjet printers. Inkjet hardware shipments rose 10%, while consumables sales increased 8%. The Machinery segment also performed strongly, with sales surging nearly 27% on higher industrial equipment demand.
Encouraged by the robust performance, Brother raised its full-year guidance, now projecting sales of ¥900 billion, business profit of ¥80 billion, and net profit of ¥63 billion—up 14.5% from the previous year. The company also reduced its expected tariff burden from ¥16 billion to ¥14 billion, citing effective pricing and cost management. The upbeat outlook signals confidence in sustained demand and operational resilience, though management remains cautious amid ongoing global and currency uncertainties.
