Interworks Confidence Lifts Revenue and Dividends Despite Profit Slowdown

Interworks Confidence Inc. ( (JP:7374) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Interworks Confidence Inc. reported consolidated revenue of ¥7.26 billion for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ending March 2026, up 13.8% year-on-year, while operating and ordinary profit declined slightly and profit attributable to owners fell 29.6%, leading to a drop in basic earnings per share to ¥96.90. Despite the earnings pressure and a lower equity ratio of 81.0%, the company maintained a strong net asset base, raised interim dividends to ¥35 per share, forecast full-year revenue growth of 16.8% with lower profits, and expanded its consolidation scope by adding BRAISE, Inc. and G’s Corporation, Inc., underscoring a strategy of growth and shareholder returns amid margin compression.

The company plans total annual dividends of ¥75 per share for the fiscal year ending March 2026, up from ¥65 in the prior year, suggesting management’s confidence in cash generation even as profit forecasts were revised downward. Total assets increased to ¥7.49 billion and shareholders’ equity rose, but profitability metrics weakened, indicating higher costs or investment burdens as Interworks Confidence integrates new subsidiaries and pursues topline expansion in a more challenging earnings environment.
