The company maintained its revenue guidance at JPY 138.0bn but significantly upgraded profitability metrics. Operating profit is now forecast at JPY 5.30bn, up JPY 1.40bn from the prior estimate, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit with non-operating items—is projected at JPY 5.90bn, up JPY 1.50bn. Net profit attributable to parent shareholders is expected to reach JPY 4.30bn, an increase of JPY 850M. The company attributed the upward revision to stronger-than-anticipated construction margins on both domestic and overseas projects, combined with foreign exchange evaluation gains that improved non-operating results.
The year-end dividend has been raised to JPY 38.00/share from JPY 30.00/share, reflecting a 26.7% increase. This adjustment aligns with the company’s medium-term management plan target of a 30% dividend payout ratio. Earnings per share are now estimated at JPY 125.13, up from JPY 100.40 previously. The revision signals improving operational efficiency in the construction segment and demonstrates management confidence in sustaining profitability gains through the fiscal year-end.
