Earnings Report

Ascentech K.K. <3565> [TSE Std] announced its financial results after the market closed on September 16th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2026 (February to July) surged 2.4 times that of the same period last year, reaching 1.11 billion yen, exceeded the previous forecast of 0.81 billion yen.

In addition, the full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary profit has been revised upward 30.1%, from the previous forecast of 1.73 billion yen to 2.25 billion yen (compared to 1.21 billion yen in the previous period), increasing the growth rate from 42.0% to 84.7%, further surpassing the previous forecast of record-high profits for two consecutive terms.

Based on the first-half performance announced by the company and the full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary profit for the August to January period (second half) is expected to expand 52.4% from the same period last year, reaching 1.13 billion yen.

In light of the strong performance, the company has increased its planned year-end lump-sum dividend for the current fiscal year from the original plan of 20 yen to 23 yen (compared to 15 yen in the previous period).

In the most recent three-month period, from May to July (2Q), the consolidated ordinary profit/loss turned to a loss of 0.02 billion yen (compared to a profit of 0.23 billion yen in the same period last year). However, the operating profit margin significantly improved from 3.0% in the same period last year to 7.0%.
