An update from Pasona Group ( (JP:2168) ) is now available.
Pasona Group reported consolidated net sales of ¥229.5 billion for the nine months to February 28, 2026, essentially flat year on year, while posting an operating loss of ¥1.3 billion and a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥1.9 billion, an improvement on the prior-year loss. Total assets fell to ¥229.3 billion and the equity ratio improved to 55.7%, partly reflecting the reduction of temporary customer deposits tied to contracted projects and an increase in treasury shares.
The company maintained its full-year forecast, targeting marginal net sales growth to ¥310.0 billion and a small operating profit of ¥500 million but still projecting a full-year net loss of ¥1.8 billion. Despite the continued losses, Pasona plans to keep a generous annual dividend of ¥75 per share for the year ending May 31, 2026, including a sizeable special dividend, signaling a commitment to shareholder returns even as profitability remains under pressure.
