Notice of Revision to Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Guidance for Fiscal Year Ending November 2026

Overview of Revision to Earnings Guidance

Asmarq Co., Ltd. has revised its full-year consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending November 2026. Net sales have been revised downward to 4,500 million yen (previous forecast: 4,700 million yen), and operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent are all expected to be significantly below the previous forecasts. The primary reasons are a decrease in orders from corporate clients in the third quarter, an increased ratio of outsourced costs, and expenses such as goodwill amortization. The dividend forecast remains unchanged from the previously announced level.

Future Strategy and Impact for Investors

In the fourth quarter, the company will focus on strict cost control through steady recognition of contracted sales and optimization of outsourced costs and insourcing to improve cost ratios. Additionally, it will pursue productivity improvements in the sales organization, strengthen proposal capabilities for corporate clients, and expand business into data utilization support areas to recover profitability from next fiscal year onwards and enhance long-term corporate value. There is no direct mention of capital policy measures for shareholders; the dividend policy is stated to be unchanged.
