> Net income and operating income fell as costs climbed. Basic earnings per share declined to ¥183.27 from ¥204.86 a year earlier.

Trend Micro kept its fiscal 2026 forecast after net sales rose 10.4% year over year to ¥223.913 billion in the nine months ended Sept. 30. The company maintained its full-year targets even as net income and operating income declined.

Basic earnings per share was ¥183.27, down from ¥204.86 a year earlier. Net income attributable to owners of the parent fell 11.5% to ¥23.839 billion, while operating income dropped 21.2% to ¥35.023 billion.

Combined cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19.3% to ¥188.889 billion. Trend Micro cited higher personnel costs related to the yen’s depreciation, increased cloud expenses including AI token costs, and spending on business-brand promotion. Sales in the Americas rose 7.8% to ¥43.715 billion.

The full-year forecast remains net sales of ¥301.5 billion, operating income of ¥44.4 billion, ordinary income of ¥46 billion and net income attributable to owners of the parent of ¥30.7 billion. The operating-income forecast is 23.2% below the prior year.

Trend Micro last revised its forecast in August, citing cloud expenses that exceeded its earlier expectations.
