HITO-Communications Holdings, Inc. ( (JP:4433) ) has shared an update.
HITO-Communications Holdings reported that its consolidated results for the six months ended February 28, 2026 diverged from earlier forecasts, with net sales slightly exceeding projections but profits falling short. Operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent all declined significantly versus both the company’s forecast and the previous year, resulting in a sharp drop in earnings per share.
The company attributed the underperformance mainly to its airport ground handling business, where the number of international flights from China was reduced from November 2025 amid worsening Japan–China relations. This led to lower revenue from corporate customers and a decreased staff working ratio, pressuring profitability, although full-year guidance was left unchanged due to uncertainty over when geopolitical conditions and Middle East-related disruptions will normalize.
