JALCO Holdings Inc. Financial Summary for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Overview of Performance

JALCO Holdings Inc. reported that in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue declined significantly year-over-year while EBITDA increased slightly, operating income decreased, and both ordinary loss and interim net loss were recorded. Increased interest payments resulting from newly acquired properties contributed to the revenue decline and profit compression. The full-year forecast remains unchanged, but uncertainty remains high. By segment, performance diverged across the four segments—Lending, Real Estate, M&A Consulting, and Energy—with the Energy segment showing revenue of 20 hundred million yen and a segment loss of 34 hundred million yen.

Impact on Shareholders and Outlook

Based on current interim results, there is no change to the dividend forecast, and the company intends to maintain a year-end dividend of 18 yen per share. Although the full-year outlook is unchanged from the previous disclosure, the significant drop in revenue and the recording of an interim net loss are factors that may affect shareholder value. Going forward, the recoverability of newly acquired assets and improvements to the financing structure are expected to be focal points.
