An announcement from Leopalace21 ( (JP:8848) ) is now available.
Leopalace21 reported net sales of ¥332.7 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up 2.7% year on year, with operating profit rising 12.5% and recurring profit up 11.8%, while net income attributable to shareholders fell 34.9% to ¥10.0 billion as comprehensive income also declined. The company’s equity ratio dropped sharply to 20.6% from 37.5% at the last fiscal year-end amid a reduction in total assets and net assets, but management kept its full-year earnings and dividend forecasts unchanged, signaling confidence in achieving modest sales and profit growth despite weaker earnings per share and a rising treasury stock balance.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Leopalace21 projects net sales of ¥444.1 billion and operating profit of ¥34.8 billion, representing 2.8% and 19.1% growth, respectively, although full-year net income is expected to decline 27.2% to ¥13.0 billion. The company plans to maintain an annual dividend of ¥10.00 per share, suggesting a continued focus on shareholder returns even as capital structure indicators soften, a stance that will be closely watched by investors assessing its financial resilience and long-term strategy.
