Naito&Co, Ordinary Profit Forecast for the Fiscal Year Revised Downward to an Unexpected 40% Decrease, Dividend Revised down by 1 Yen
7624 Naito & Co.,Ltd. 【J-GAAP】
Earnings ReportNaito & Co.,Ltd. <7624> [TSE Std] announced its financial results after the market closed on December 24th (16:00). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2026 (March to November) was 241 million yen, a 1.7% increase compared to the same period last year.
However, the full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 46.4%, from the previous forecast of 560 million yen to 300 million yen (compared to 502 million yen in the previous period). This changes the outlook from an anticipated profit increase to a projection of a 40.2% decrease in profit.
Based on the full-year plan announced by the company after the downward revision, our estimate of the consolidated ordinary profit for the September to February period (second half) has decreased 78.5%, from the previous forecast of 331 million yen to 71 million yen (compared to 363 million yen in the same period of the previous year), leading to an increase in the profit decline rate from 8.8% to 80.4%.
Due to a decline in performance, the company has reduced its planned year-end lump-sum dividend for the current fiscal year from the original plan of 4 yen to 3 yen (compared to 4 yen in the previous period).
In the most recent three-month period, from September to November (3Q), the consolidated ordinary profit significantly dropped to 12 million yen, an 87.8% decrease compared to the same period last year. The operating profit/loss margin worsened from 0.7% in the same period last year to -0.0%.
