Earnings Report

MARCHE CORPORATION <7524> [TSE-S] announced its financial results in the afternoon session on November 14th (15:00). The ordinary profit/loss (non-consolidated) for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025 (April to September) turned into a loss of 13 million yen (compared to a profit of 28 million yen in the same period last year), reversing from the forecast of a 28 million yen to a loss.

In addition, the full-year ordinary profit has downwardly by 83.7%, from the previous forecast of 104 million yen to 17 million yen (compared to 95 million yen in the previous period). This changes the outlook from an anticipated profit increase to a projection of a 82.1% decrease in profit.

Based on the first-half performance announced by the company and the full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the ordinary profit for the October to March period (second half) is expected to significant drop by 55.2% from the same period last year to 30 million yen.

At the same time, the year-end lump-sum dividend remains undecided.

In the most recent three-month period, from July to September (2Q), the ordinary profit/loss turned to a loss of 15 million yen (compared to a profit of 11 million yen in the same period last year). The operating profit/loss margin worsened from 1.1% in the same period last year to -1.2%.
