4494 Vario Secure Inc. 【IFRS】
Earnings ReportVario Secure Inc. <4494> [TSE Std] announced its financial results (based on IFRS) after the market closed on October 10th (15:30). The net income (non-consolidated) for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2026 (March to August) increased 17.6% from the same period last year, reaching 214 million yen.
However, the full-year forecast for net income has decreased 24.3%, from the previous forecast of 399 million yen to 302 million yen (compared to 342 million yen in the previous period). This changes the outlook from an anticipated profit increase to a projection of an 11.7% decrease in profit.
Based on the first-half performance announced by the company and the full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the net income for the September to February period (second half) is expected to drop 45.0% from the same period last year to 88 million yen.
In the most recent three-month period, from June to August (2Q), the net income increased 32.9% from the same period last year, reaching 109 million yen. The operating profit margin rose from 17.9% in the same period last year to 22.6%.
