Menicon Reclassifies Earn-Out Goodwill Costs, Keeps Forecast Unchanged

Menicon Co ( (JP:7780) ) has provided an announcement.

Menicon has revised the accounting treatment of additional earn-out consideration tied to its acquisition of Itabashi Trading, following a renewed review by its auditing firm. Rather than recognizing up to JPY 3.52 billion in goodwill amortization as an extraordinary loss in the year ending March 2027, the company will book related expenses as selling, general and administrative costs, with up to JPY 500 million recorded in the year ending March 2026.

This reclassification will affect operating profit and profit levels in the current fiscal year by shifting costs into operating expenses, but Menicon maintains that consolidated results should remain in line with the financial forecast announced at the start of the year. The company does not plan to revise its earnings outlook at this time and will provide further disclosure if additional material developments arise.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7780) stock is a Buy with a Yen1863.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Menicon Co stock, see the JP:7780 Stock Forecast page.
