INES, Ordinary Profit Forecast for the Fiscal Year Revised Downward to an Unexpected 58% Decrease, Dividend Revised down by 5 Yen
9742 INES Corporation 【J-GAAP】
Earnings ReportINES Corporation <9742> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results after the market closed on October 28th (15:30). The consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April to September) turned into a loss of 0.80 billion yen (compared to a profit of 0.89 billion yen in the same period last year).
In addition, the full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 63.4%, from the previous forecast of 4.10 billion yen to 1.50 billion yen (compared to 3.60 billion yen in the previous period). This changes the outlook from an anticipated profit increase to a projection of a 58.4% decrease in profit.
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 October to March period (second half) is expected to decrease 15.1% from the same period last year to 2.30 billion yen.
Due to a decline in performance, the company has reduced its planned annual dividend for the current fiscal year from the original plan of 60 yen to 55 yen (compared to 55 yen in the previous period).
In the most recent three-month period, from July to September (2Q), the consolidated ordinary profit significantly dropped to 0.06 billion yen, a 95.0% decrease compared to the same period last year. The operating profit/loss margin drastically worsened from 11.7% in the same period last year to -0.5%.
