Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 Q2 (Interim) Consolidated Financial Summary

Business Performance Overview

For the second quarter (interim) of the fiscal year ending March 2027, consolidated revenue increased 13.9% year-over-year to 9,014 million yen. Gross profit rose, which drove expansions in both operating income and ordinary income. Interim net income attributable to owners of the parent improved to 163 million yen. By segment, sales contributions came from trading cards, stationery, sundries, food, and Surugaya. While new businesses and rental declined, growth in the company’s core segments pushed overall performance higher.

Outlook and Full-Year Forecast

The company announced revised full-year forecasts of revenue of 18,500 million yen, operating income of 300 million yen, ordinary income of 300 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of 200 million yen. A dividend reinstatement of 1 yen per share annually is expected. The company anticipates revenue and profit growth supported by the trading card and Surugaya segments; however, comparisons should note that the prior fiscal year included an 82 million yen gain on sale of available-for-sale securities recorded as a special profit.
