An announcement from BOOKOFF GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED ( (JP:9278) ) is now available.
BOOKOFF GROUP HOLDINGS reported consolidated net sales of ¥61.1 billion for the first half of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, a 7.6% year-on-year increase, while operating profit fell 15.6% to ¥1.26 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent declined 18.8% to ¥741 million, reflecting margin pressures despite continued top-line growth. Total assets edged up to ¥58.7 billion and the equity ratio remained stable at just over 32%, and the company maintained its interim dividend at zero but kept its full-year dividend forecast at ¥30 per share, up from ¥25 the previous year; it also incorporated the disposal of treasury shares tied to a restricted stock plan into its earnings per share forecast. For the full fiscal year, BOOKOFF left its guidance unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥127.0 billion, operating profit of ¥3.8 billion, and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2.2 billion, signaling management’s confidence in recovering profitability in the second half even as first-half earnings softened. The group also reported a change in consolidation scope, adding BOOKOFF HOKKAIDO, Inc. and removing J&K TRADING LLC, underscoring ongoing portfolio adjustments within its group structure.
