Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed trading houses & wholesale companies, in English.
Tokyo Sangyo has fully provisioned ¥3.123bn of receivables on a renewable project whose permits a court ruling has put in doubt, and booked further charges on two other projects, including a ¥719mn guarantee payment.
Arata said a consolidated subsidiary received a Japan Fair Trade Commission on-site inspection on suspicion of resale price maintenance, and that it will cooperate fully; the notice gives no financial impact.
Ransomware attackers took data from a database run by a non-consolidated Toho Holdings subsidiary, including healthcare workers' names and booking details, while recordings and content files were not on the database and the affected record count is unknown.
Yellow Hat says log analysis fixes the number of affected members at 1,797,124, slightly below its first estimate, but adds addresses, birth dates, gender and login IDs to the data taken; the booking system has restarted and the final report has gone to the privacy regulator.
Consec says its auditor found the final dividend for the year to March 2025 exceeded the legal distributable amount by ¥47mn; shareholders need not repay, and an outside committee will examine causes and responsibility.
Intruders reached Beauty Garage's servers between 10 and 12 October, and the company has confirmed 775,725 leaked records covering salon names, customer names, emails and phone numbers; it is still assessing the earnings impact.
Optimus Group's board has resolved to put its 30%-owned Australian affiliate OzCar into voluntary administration, reversing a May plan to exit the alliance, with its loans, guarantees and earnings impact still under review.
OTAKE Corporation's special investigation committee found that trades routed through a rival probably breach Japan's Antimonopoly Act, a conclusion that forces a ¥477 million cut to reported sales for the year to May 2026 while leaving ordinary profit unchanged, with recurrence-prevention measures still to come.
A former finance chief at Sanyo Trading's US subsidiary, Sanyo Corporation of America, is suspected of diverting about $3.9 million (roughly ¥609mn) between June and September, caught only when staff matched bank records against the books, and the parent has now empanelled outside lawyers while the hit to earnings and any recovery remain undetermined.
Five amended securities reports filed on the same day show the medical-equipment distributor's disclosed lease commitments were too low every year from mid-2020 to mid-2025, in one year by more than a billion yen.
Shinto Holdings disclosed on August 19 that ¥205mn earmarked for its own metal purchases was instead used to repay a bank, a related company and an individual, cover payroll and rent, and fund a loan to another subsidiary, spending that happened before the board approved the change or investors were told.
The number: the Tokyo Labour Bureau has cancelled Kyodo Paper Holdings' employment adjustment subsidy and confirmed a ¥70.4mn refund, which the paper wholesaler will book as an extraordinary loss in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027. The company had already applied to return the money voluntarily on June 26 and says it is tightening internal checks after the episode.
The catch: Yokorei says an extraordinary report due after a December 2024 board decision was left unfiled until June 29, and the delayed document details backdated loss items of ¥6.42bn for doubtful accounts, ¥4.49bn for debt guarantees and ¥2.60bn for investment securities.
Nakatayamafuku corrected four annual securities reports, one half-year report and earnings summaries for the years to March 2025 and 2026 after finding a miscalculated shareholder total return and a cash-flow classification error. The company says neither past earnings nor financial position changed. The more useful fix for readers is cash flow. In the corrected summary for the year to March 2025, operating cash flow becomes a ¥6.2mn outflow instead of a ¥43.8mn inflow, while financing cash flow rises to ¥797.7mn from ¥747.7mn. Same cash balance, different story about where it came from.
