Earnings Report

Chichibu Railway Co.,Ltd. <9012> [TSE Std] announced its financial results after the market closed on February 12th (16:00). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April to December) expanded 321 million yen, an increase 41.4% compared to the same period last year. Progress toward the full-year plan of 140 million yen is 229.3%, already exceeding the target and also exceeding the same period of the previous year of 84.1%.

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 January to March period (4Q) is expected to turn into a loss of 181 million yen (compared to a profit of 43 million 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 October to December (3Q), the consolidated ordinary profit significantly dropped to 47 million yen, a 70.6% decrease compared to the same period last year. The operating profit margin sharply declined from 12.1% in the same period last year to 4.3%.
