CE Holdings Co.,Ltd. <4320> [TSE Std] announced its financial results after the market closed on August 8th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2025 (October 2024 to June 2025) expanded 1.20 billion yen, an increase 68.8% compared to the same period last year.

However, the full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 6.7%, from the previous forecast of 1.50 billion yen to 1.40 billion yen (compared to 1.15 billion yen in the previous period), leading to a reduction in the profit growth rate from 30.0% to 21.3%.

The company has further increased its previous forecast of record profits for the first time in two years.

Based on the full-year plan announced by the company after the downward revision, our estimate of the consolidated ordinary profit for the April to September period (second half) has decreased 38.3%, from the previous forecast of 0.26 billion yen to 0.16 billion yen (compared to 0.41 billion yen in the same period of the previous year), leading to an increase in the profit decline rate from 36.3% to 60.7%.

In the most recent three-month period, from April to June (3Q), the consolidated ordinary loss expanded to a loss of 0.03 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.03 billion yen in the same period last year).
