Earnings Report

ASKUL Corporation <2678> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results after the market closed on March 27th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending May 2026 (June 2025 to February 2026) turned into a loss of 13.9 billion yen (compared to a profit of 9.65 billion yen in the same period last year).

In addition, the full-year forecast, which was not disclosed, shows that consolidated ordinary profit/loss will turn into a deficit of loss of 22.0 billion yen (compared to a profit of 13.8 billion yen in the previous period).

Based on the cumulative third-quarter performance announced by the company and the full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the March to May period (4Q) is expected to turn into a loss of 8.00 billion yen (compared to a profit of 4.16 billion yen in the same period last year).

Due to a decline in performance, the company has decided to implement a year-end lump-sum dividend of 10 yen for the current fiscal year, which was previously undecided (compared to 38 yen in the prior term).

In the most recent three-month period, from December to February (3Q), the consolidated ordinary profit/loss turned to a loss of 10.1 billion yen (compared to a profit of 3.73 billion yen in the same period last year). The operating profit/loss margin drastically worsened from 3.1% in the same period last year to -12.1%.
