The main factor is an increase in inventory valuation losses.","jir_summary":"### Performance Overview\nGUNZE's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ending March 2026 are approximately 130.9 billion yen, falling below previous forecasts. The increase in inventory valuation losses led to lower-than-expected operating income, ordinary income, and net income. Notably, net income declined significantly to about 510 million yen, reflecting a substantial decrease compared to the same period last year and the impact of business restructuring efforts.\n\n### Reasons for Discrepancies and Future Outlook\nThe primary reason is an increase of approximately 1.9 billion yen in inventory valuation losses due to brand consolidation and SKU reduction within the apparel business. The planned dividend per share is 216 yen, indicating continued shareholder returns. The company aims to improve next year's performance through business reorganization and strengthened cost management.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales: 130,918 million yen (\u25b32,082 million yen (\u25b31.6%))\nOperating Income: 4,882 million yen (\u25b31,518 million yen (\u25b323.7%))\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 509 million yen (\u25b31,091 million yen (\u25b368.2%))\nEarnings Per Share: 15.83 yen (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#GUNZE, #Earnings, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Sales: 130,918 million yen (\u25b31.6%)\nOperating Income: 4,882 million yen (\u25b323.7%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 509 million yen (\u25b368.2%)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010GUNZE\u30112026 Full-Year Earnings Discrepancy | May 14, 2026","jir_meta_description":"GUNZE's sales for the fiscal year ending March 2026 are below expectations at approximately 131 billion yen, with net income around 510 million yen.
