XEBIO Flags Large Extraordinary Losses and Swings to Net Loss, Cuts Executive Pay

XEBIO Holdings CO., LTD. ( (JP:8281) ) just unveiled an announcement.

XEBIO Holdings has warned of significant extraordinary losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, driven by impairment charges on underperforming assets in Japan and overseas, valuation losses on investment securities and merchandise, and costs linked to the renovation and partial donation of XEBIO ARENA SENDAI. These items total ¥7,373 million and come on top of weaker-than-expected sales in seasonal and apparel categories, partly due to a warm winter.

As a result, the company has cut its full-year forecasts, now expecting lower net sales, a sharp drop in operating profit, and a swing to a net loss attributable to owners of the parent, despite some support from foreign exchange gains on the non-operating line. Management has moved to assume responsibility by deciding on temporary cuts of up to 50% in directors’ pay and up to 30% in executive officers’ pay, underscoring the seriousness of the profit deterioration and the pressure to restore profitability and investor confidence.
