The latest announcement is out from Relo Group ( (JP:8876) ).

Relo Group, Inc., a Tokyo-listed provider of relocation, housing and corporate welfare services, reported consolidated revenue of ¥151.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, up 5.7% year on year, while operating profit edged up 1.2% to ¥30.8 billion. Despite solid top-line growth, profit attributable to owners of the parent dropped 52.3% to ¥20.7 billion and basic earnings per share halved, reflecting a sharp fall in profit before income taxes, even as total assets and equity rose and the equity ratio strengthened.

The company continued to generate positive operating cash flow, although it declined versus the prior year, and it increased its annual dividend to ¥69 per share, implying a materially higher payout ratio and continued emphasis on shareholder returns. For the year ending March 31, 2027, Relo Group forecasts revenue growth of 9.2% and a roughly 10% rise in operating profit, with profit attributable to owners expected to recover by 8.9%, signaling management’s confidence in restoring earnings momentum and sustaining dividend growth despite the recent profit contraction.
