Bushiroad has trimmed back a profit upgrade just a day after announcing it, after finding an error in the calculation of corporate taxes on gains from selling shares in a related company. The corrected forecast for the year ending June 2026 puts net profit attributable to owners of parent at ¥4,626 million, up from the previous forecast of ¥3,900 million, not the ¥5,516 million in the original May 27 disclosure.
The operating picture, at least in this notice, is unchanged. Bushiroad kept revenue guidance at ¥56,500 million, operating profit at ¥4,600 million and ordinary profit at ¥5,600 million. What survives of the upgrade is a ¥726 million increase in net profit, or 18.6%, rather than the previously stated ¥1,616 million, or 41.4%. Forecast earnings per share were also revised down to ¥34.08 from the mistaken ¥40.65, versus the earlier forecast of ¥28.74.
For readers, that means the correction sits in the tax line, not in the sales, operating profit or ordinary profit lines. Bushiroad said only that the mistake was identified after filing the earlier notice and that part of the disclosure needed correction. This update does not give a fuller breakdown of the share-sale gain or the tax calculation, so the amended totals, not the earlier headline figure, are the numbers to use.
