Pasona Group Narrows Interim Loss, Maintains Full-Year Dividend and Signals Earnings Recovery

An announcement from Pasona Group ( (JP:2168) ) is now available.

Pasona Group reported consolidated net sales of ¥154.5 billion for the six months ended November 30, 2025, a slight 0.4% increase year-on-year, while posting an operating loss of ¥204 million but an ordinary profit of ¥815 million. Profit attributable to owners of parent remained in the red at ¥620 million, although this marked a sharp improvement from the previous year’s large interim loss, and the equity ratio strengthened to 54.4% as total assets declined following a reduction in temporary deposits related to contracted projects. The company maintained its interim dividend at zero but plans to pay a full-year dividend of ¥75 per share, including a sizeable special dividend, signaling continued shareholder returns despite weak profitability. For the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, Pasona forecasts net sales of ¥330 billion and a return to positive earnings with profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥500 million, underscoring management’s expectation of a gradual recovery in business performance and a modest improvement in earnings power.
