Kirin Holdings reported its full-year (FY2025) financial results, posting a consolidated net income of JPY 32.7 billion, up 5.5 percent. Net income from San Miguel Brewery, an equity-method affiliate, was JPY 67.8 billion, increasing 4.4 percent. Dividends declared totaled JPY 27.5 billion, a rise of 12 percent, with cash dividends per share at 1.4 pesos, up 12.9 percent. Kirin Holdings recorded a share of profit from equity-accounted investees, with a notable positive impact of JPY 1.7 billion from San Miguel Brewery. The company also reported a significant year-on-year positive swing of JPY 19.3 billion, reflecting the absence of an impairment loss recorded in the prior year at an overseas beer business affiliate. Operating income increased, driven by price increases and improvements in cost of goods sold. Segment highlights included a JPY 10.5 billion increase from Kyowa Kirin, JPY 13.8 billion from Kirin Brewery, and JPY 7.6 billion from FANCL, partly offset by higher corporate expenses and reduced profit contribution from some overseas businesses. Kirin Holdings also noted increased IT investment costs. Kirin’s dividend income grew in line with profit growth, supported by robust domestic demand and ongoing momentum in AI-related sectors. The effective tax rate declined to 25.1 percent from the previous year’s 38.6 percent. The company’s financial period covers October 2024 to September 2025.
