Media Links Co.,Ltd. Revises Earnings Forecast — Net Loss Widens to JPY 1.45bn
Media Links Co.,Ltd. (TSE:6659) has revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, significantly widening projected net losses due to inventory write-downs tied to product model transitions.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 連結売上高 | JPY 2.28bn | JPY 2.34bn | +2.5% |
| 連結営業利益 | -780 | -877 | — |
| 連結経常利益 | -800 | -894 | — |
| 親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益 | -850 | -1454 | — |
| 1 株 当 た り当 期 純 利 益 | -18.20 | -21.57 | — |
The company cited three primary drivers for the downward revision. Media Links will record a JPY 32M impairment loss on fixed assets as a special loss. More significantly, it will recognize a JPY 503M inventory valuation loss related to the discontinuation of legacy product lines following model changeovers. The company’s auditors flagged that current inventory levels exceed projected sales volumes, necessitating the write-down.
Consolidated revenue is expected to rise modestly by 2.5% to JPY 2.34bn, but the special losses will substantially deepen the net loss to JPY 1.45bn from the previously forecast JPY 850M. Operating profit (eigyo rieki) and ordinary income (keijo rieki) — a Japan-specific metric encompassing non-operating financial items — are also projected to deteriorate. Earnings per share are expected to decline to negative JPY 21.57 per share from negative JPY 18.20.
The revision underscores inventory management challenges as Media Links navigates product transitions. While top-line growth remains on track, the magnitude of inventory adjustments signals potential demand headwinds or production planning misalignment that investors should monitor in coming quarters.
