The company decided to sell 1.853 million shares of Hulic held in its portfolio during the real estate developer’s overseas equity offering. The sale is priced at JPY 1,615.26 per share, generating total proceeds of JPY 2.99bn. Katakura expects to record an investment securities gain of JPY 2.97bn as extraordinary income in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, boosting net profit attributable to parent shareholders to JPY 7.25bn for the full year, up from the prior forecast of JPY 5.20bn. Earnings per share is projected to rise to JPY 229.07 from JPY 164.30.

The revision reflects a non-operating gain unrelated to core business performance. Operating profit and ordinary income (keijo rieki), the Japan-specific metric capturing operating results plus financial income and expenses, remain unchanged at JPY 2.70bn and JPY 3.40bn respectively. Investors should note this uplift is temporary and does not signal improvement in the company’s underlying operational earnings capacity. The sale appears to be a portfolio optimization decision rather than a strategic shift in business direction.
