istyle Inc. <3660> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results after the market closed on February 12th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending June 2025 (July to December) expanded 1.58 billion yen, an increase 96.5% compared to the same period last year.

In addition, the full-year consolidated ordinary profit has been revised upward 20.8%, from the previous forecast of 2.4 billion yen to 2.9 billion yen (compared to 1.72 billion yen in the previous period), increasing the growth rate from 39.5% to 68.5%. The company has further increased its previous forecast of record profits for the first time in seven years.

Based on the first-half performance announced by the company and the full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary profit for the January to June period (2H) is expected to expand 43.7% from the same period last year, reaching 1.31 billion yen.

In light of the strong performance, the company, which had previously planned no dividend for the current fiscal year, has decided to implement a year-end lump-sum dividend of 1 yen, reinstating dividends for the first time in seven terms.

In the most recent three-month period, from October to December (2Q), the consolidated ordinary profit increased 63.2% from the same period last year, reaching 0.74 billion yen. The operating profit margin improved from 3.3% in the same period last year to 4.1%.
