Notice Regarding Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast and Year-End Dividend Forecast

Regarding Revision of Earnings Forecast

Askul Corporation has revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending May 2026, announcing net sales of 395,000 million yen, operating loss of 20,500 million yen, and ordinary loss of 22,000 million yen. Following the ransomware attack on October 19, 2025, which caused system disruptions, the earnings forecast was withdrawn on January 28, 2026. However, based on third-quarter results and conditions as of March, a reasonable estimate was possible, prompting this revision. Net income attributable to owners of parent and earnings per share remain undecided.

Regarding Revision of Year-End Dividend Forecast

The year-end dividend forecast was previously undecided due to the impact of the ransomware attack. Although ordinary income for the fiscal year ending May 2026 is expected to incur a loss, considering the anticipated business recovery in the fiscal year ending May 2027 as well as the shareholder return policy and financial condition, the forecast has been revised to 10 yen per share. Extraordinary losses have been factored in up to the third quarter, and any further developments will be promptly disclosed once clarified.
