Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
AirTrip's year-end dividend leaps to ¥160 a share from ¥10, backed by a pledge to pay out 100% of adjusted operating profit through the year to September 2028, before dropping back to ¥10 once an investment phase begins in 2029.
Nikkei's parent-only profit fell 43% even as consolidated revenue rose 4.3% on digital and event income, a gap disclosed in TDnet filings by Business Coach Inc. and TV TOKYO Holdings Corporation, two companies in which Nikkei is the largest shareholder.
The Tokyo Growth-market marketer swapped a ¥2mn profit forecast for a ¥1.1bn net loss after nearly ¥830mn of one-off costs and losses and a delayed China live-commerce launch, and its rebound plan for next year leans heavily on newly acquired companies.
Kanamoto's nine-month operating profit rose 31.6% against just 2.6% sales growth amid rental-rate optimization and productivity gains, and the equipment renter used results day to acquire a Kanto site-facilities and event-rental group for an undisclosed cash price.
First-half profit fell 71% at the Tokyo affiliate-ad network, pushing it to scrap this year's earnings forecast and the three-year growth plan it launched in early 2025; management points to AI-generated search summaries diverting clicks from its affiliate partner sites.
A completed tender offer has handed Culture Convenience Club control of Jimoty, and an August 28 shareholder vote on share consolidation is the remaining step before the classifieds operator leaves the Tokyo Stock Exchange, even as its ad business and reuse-hub franchise both grew through June 2026.
Dentsu Group swung to a ¥46.3bn first-half net profit largely because it sold a Ginza-area office building and avoided repeating last year's ¥86.6bn impairment, not because advertising demand recovered: organic gross-profit growth was just 0.3%, propped up entirely by a 5.0% gain in Japan against declines in the Americas, EMEA and APAC.
Agora Hospitality Group's ordinary profit dropped 67% in the six months to June as a Chinese visitor slump and an Osaka Expo comedown cut Kansai hotel occupancy, tipping the parent company into a ¥59mn net loss even as its two Tokyo hotels grew both sales and profit.
Bad weather cut theme-park visitors and operating profit by roughly a third at Greenland Resort in the six months through June, but a no-cash sale of a Hokkaido hotel business triggered a deferred-tax adjustment that pushed net profit up anyway.
H.U. Group Holdings swung to a ¥1.57bn quarterly profit as price adjustments fixed its loss-making testing-services unit, while a blood-based Alzheimer's diagnostic won certification in Europe.
Fintech profit jumped 47% and mobile's losses kept narrowing, pushing Rakuten Group's first-half pretax income positive for the first time in seven years, though the parent still posted a ¥10.9bn net loss.
Hakuhodo DY's operating profit jumped 19.4% in the quarter to June on strong Japanese finance and tech ad spending, but its North American business stayed weak enough to widen the overseas unit's operating loss to ¥3.75bn, and full-year guidance was left unchanged.
SBI Global Asset Management's operating profit rose 5.2 times and group assets under management reached about ¥14tn in the June quarter, mostly because two fund managers were folded fully into its results for the first time in a comparable year-on-year quarter.
Insource will cancel up to 4.7% of its shares and lift its year-end dividend to ¥35.00, using a ten-year Tokyo Stock Exchange anniversary to bundle capital returns onto nine-month profit growth of 6.2%.
Orders from semiconductor companies near JSH's Kumamoto farm ran so far ahead of plan that the disability-employment and home-care operator more than doubled its profit forecast and unveiled its first medium-term plan, targeting operating profit of ¥1.321bn by the year to March 2029.
The number: USS Group sold 619,002 vehicles in the June quarter, up 8.4% year-on-year, while listings rose a slower 4.7% to 950,380. The result: a contract rate of 65.1%, up from 62.9% a year earlier, with Tokyo and Kyushu leading and Osaka the lone large venue to shrink.
Sales are forecast to reach ¥3.65bn as the children’s gymnastics operator adds 37 franchise sites, but part of the lift comes from store transfers and price increases.
Sales rose to ¥16.25bn and profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥929.0mn in the year to March 2026, extending Gokurakuyu’s recovery, even if the supplied filings say little about the next year’s pace.
Net income swung to ¥508.9mn in the year to March 2026 from a ¥244.5mn loss, with sales edging up to ¥7.64bn and net assets ending March at ¥2.18bn.
The number: Daiei Kankyo closed the year with sales of ¥87.86bn, ordinary income of ¥22.43bn and parent net profit of ¥15.85bn, extending its multi-year climb.
The move: Fureasu swung from a ¥244.5mn loss to ¥508.9mn in profit attributable to owners in the year to March, while net assets rose to ¥2.18bn and shareholders approved a 10.57 yen dividend.
Revenue is set to jump 77.7% in the year to March 2027, but operating margin is guided down to 4.6% from 7.6%.
Sales reached ¥37.66bn, ordinary income ¥3.97bn and parent profit ¥2.49bn. As private-education signals go, this one still points upward.
The group reported ¥23.83bn of sales, ¥6.35bn of ordinary income and ¥3.97bn of parent profit, while its wholly owned consulting arm became a specified subsidiary after its net assets crossed 30% of the parent's. Disclosure threshold, not a new acquisition.
