The company expects to record a special gain of JPY 11.5bn from the Bitbank stake sale in the fiscal year ending March 2027, lifting net profit attributable to parent shareholders to JPY 25.0bn from JPY 13.5bn previously. Earnings per share is revised upward to JPY 383.99/share from JPY 207.35/share. The company held revenue, EBITDA, operating profit, and ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit with non-operating items—unchanged at JPY 185.0bn, JPY 31.5bn, JPY 19.5bn, and JPY 20.0bn respectively, indicating core business performance remains on track.
The dividend revision reflects the improved bottom-line outlook. MIXI raised its annual dividend by JPY 30/share to JPY 155/share, maintaining its 40% consolidated payout ratio policy. The interim dividend remains at JPY 60/share, while the year-end dividend increases to JPY 95/share from JPY 65/share. The revision underscores enhanced shareholder returns, though investors should note the net profit uplift stems primarily from a one-time asset sale rather than operational improvements. The underlying business fundamentals remain stable.
