The company revised its forecast following the ransomware attack, which disrupted operations and made earnings projections difficult. With the third-quarter results and March conditions now considered, ASKUL adjusted its revenue, operating profit, and ordinary income estimates. Net profit and EPS remain unchanged, as the company has not yet finalized its outlook for the recovery period starting in the fiscal year ending May 2027.
The revision reflects ASKUL’s attempt to align its financial guidance with current operational realities. While the ransomware attack’s impact has been partially accounted for in the third-quarter results, the company plans to disclose further details once clarity emerges. Investors should note that dividend forecasts remain uncertain, as the firm is evaluating long-term recovery strategies.
