Hatena swings to loss outlook after 1,179 million yen funds-outflow charge
The company now expects a net loss of ¥767 million for the year ending July 31 after booking the current maximum identified damage from April's funds-outflow incident at ¥1,179 million as an extraordinary loss. A ¥357 million deferred-tax benefit softens the accounting hit, but Hatena still swung from a previous forecast for ¥101 million of profit, and it still has not disclosed how much money may be recovered or when the special investigation committee will report.
