FinTech Global Incorporated Revises Earnings Forecast — Net Profit Up 70%

FinTech Global Incorporated (TSE:8789) has revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026, citing subsidiary divestiture and portfolio rebalancing as key drivers of the changes.

The company projects revenue will decline 14.8% to JPY 15.5bn, primarily due to the March 2026 divestiture of subsidiary Moomin Tales, which removes third-quarter and fourth-quarter contributions. Additional headwinds include reduced aircraft technical service sales and underperformance in aircraft operating lease deal origination and asset sales. These declines are partially offset by strong private equity investment recoveries in business succession projects and better-than-planned truck operating lease arrangement and fund composition activity. Operating profit (eigyo rieki) and ordinary income (keijo rieki) remain unchanged at JPY 4.20bn and JPY 4.00bn respectively, as profit impacts from the divested subsidiary and underperforming segments are offset by higher-margin truck leasing revenue.

Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders surges 70.4% to JPY 4.60bn, driven by JPY 1.56bn in fixed asset sale gains and reduced corporate tax liabilities following the Moomin Tales divestiture, partially offset by JPY 263M in equity investment losses and JPY 200M in allowance for doubtful accounts. The divergence between flat operating performance and significantly higher net profit reflects one-time gains and tax benefits rather than operational improvement. Investors should note the company’s strategic pivot toward higher-margin private equity and truck leasing businesses, though near-term revenue contraction warrants monitoring of execution on these growth initiatives.
