Cross Marketing Group, Inc. ( (JP:3675) ) has issued an update.

Cross Marketing Group reported consolidated net sales of ¥15.1 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2025, a 2.4% year-on-year rise, while operating income fell 16.6% to ¥1.13 billion and net income attributable to owners of parent declined 6.6% to ¥727 million, indicating margin pressure despite modest top-line growth. The company strengthened its financial position with total assets of ¥17.5 billion and an equity ratio of 50.1%, raised its interim dividend to ¥7.50 per share, and maintained its full-year forecast, targeting ¥32.0 billion in sales and ¥1.55 billion in net income, suggesting confidence in a profit recovery in the second half and continued shareholder returns.

Management also highlighted steady growth in net assets to ¥8.77 billion and a slight improvement in equity ratio versus the previous fiscal year-end, which supports financial stability amid earnings volatility. The unchanged full-year guidance, implying double-digit growth in sales and profits, signals that the first-half profit decline is viewed as temporary and that the company expects stronger operating performance and margin improvement later in the fiscal year, a key point for investors assessing its medium-term trajectory.
