XEBIO holdings CO.,LTD. <8281> fell for a third consecutive day, updating its year-to-date low. The decline followed the company's announcement after trading ended on the 1st that its consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, currently being finalized, are expected to fall short of previous forecasts. Revenue is now projected at 252,377 million yen (up 0.7% year-on-year) compared to the previous forecast of 253,534 million yen, while operating profit is expected to reach 2,386 million yen (down 65.9% year-on-year) versus the earlier estimate of 4,017 million yen. The company also revised its net income forecast from a profit of 236 million yen to a loss of 2,141 million yen (compared to a profit of 971 million yen in the previous year).

The warm winter negatively impacted seasonal products and apparel divisions including winter sports, outdoor, and training wear. Profits were further pressured by lower-of-cost-or-market valuation losses, overseas inventory valuation losses, depreciation expenses related to the launch of a new e-commerce system, and increases in personnel and store operation costs. Additionally, the company recorded impairment losses on domestic and overseas business assets with declining profitability, as well as fixed asset disposal losses associated with the renovation and building donation of XEBIO Arena Sendai.
