ispace,inc. ( (JP:9348) ) just unveiled an update.

Ispace reported consolidated results for the year to March 31, 2026, showing project revenue up 18.4% to ¥5.89 billion but net sales down 30.3% to ¥3.31 billion, with an operating loss of ¥11.58 billion and a net loss of ¥8.15 billion. Despite continued heavy losses, total assets expanded to ¥47.70 billion and net assets more than doubled to ¥15.17 billion, supported by strong financing cash inflows that lifted year-end cash to ¥29.69 billion and provided a capital buffer for ongoing lunar projects.

The company maintained a zero-dividend policy and forecast project revenue to rise about 51% to ¥9.0 billion in the year to March 2027, while expecting operating and net losses to remain large at ¥11.70 billion and ¥13.0 billion, respectively. The guidance underscores ispace’s strategy of prioritizing investment and growth in its lunar transportation business over near-term profitability, with shareholders bearing continued losses as the firm seeks to strengthen its position in the nascent commercial lunar market.
