Earnings Report

MINKABU THE INFONOID, Inc. <4436> [TSE Growth] announced its financial results after the market closed on February 14th (15:32). The consolidated ordinary loss for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025 (April to December) expanded to a loss of 1.04 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.36 billion yen in the same period last year).

In addition, the full-year consolidated ordinary profit/loss has been revised downward from an expected profit of 1.1 billion yen to a loss of 2.03 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.79 billion yen in the previous period), turning to a loss outlook.

Based on the full-year plan announced by the company after the downward revision, our estimate of the consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the October to March period (2H) has been revised downward from an expected profit of 1.38 billion yen to a loss of 1.74 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.51 billion yen in the same period of the previous year), turning to a loss outlook.

Due to a decline in performance, the plan to pay a year-end lump-sum dividend of 26 yen has been abandoned, and the policy has been set to forego dividends for the first time in six terms, falling to a no-dividend status (compared to 26 yen in the prior term).

In the most recent three-month period, from October to December (3Q), the consolidated ordinary loss expanded to a loss of 0.75 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.09 billion yen in the same period last year). The operating profit/loss margin drastically worsened from -3.0% in the same period last year to -32.2%.
