Earnings Report

KOBE BUSSAN CO.,LTD. <3038> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results after the market closed on September 11th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2025 (November 2024 to July 2025) expanded 38.2 billion yen, an increase 74.0% compared to the same period last year. Progress toward the full-year plan of 37.8 billion yen is 101.2%, already exceeding the target and also exceeding the five-year average of 74.7%.

Based on the cumulative third-quarter performance announced by the company and the unchanged full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the August to October period (4Q) is expected to turn into a loss of 0.44 billion yen (compared to a profit of 9.59 billion yen in the same period last year). However, if the fourth-quarter performance remains at the same level as the first three quarters, the full-year plan may be increased.

In the most recent three-month period, from May to July (3Q), the consolidated ordinary profit surged 4.4 times that of the same period last year, reaching 17.3 billion yen. The operating profit margin improved from 6.9% in the same period last year to 8.1%.
