Apple International Co., Ltd. Revises H1 FY2026 Earnings Forecast Upward
Apple International Co., Ltd. (TSE:2788) has raised its earnings guidance for the first half of fiscal year 2026 ending December, citing stronger-than-expected performance in its overseas used-vehicle export business.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 18.2bn | JPY 24.4bn | +34.0% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 402M | JPY 590M | +46.8% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 576M | JPY 725M | +25.9% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する中間純利益 | JPY 404M | JPY 553M | +36.9% |
| １株当たり中間純利益 | JPY 31.49/share | JPY 42.98/share | +JPY 11.49/share |
The company attributed the upward revision to sustained yen weakness and higher-than-anticipated shipment volumes to Malaysia within its overseas used-vehicle export operations. Management had adopted conservative assumptions regarding geopolitical instability and elevated fuel costs, but actual results have significantly outperformed those projections.
The revision reflects broad-based strength across profitability metrics. Operating profit rose 46.8% to JPY 590M, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric encompassing operating profit plus non-operating items—increased 25.9% to JPY 725M. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders climbed 36.9% to JPY 553M, with earnings per share rising to JPY 42.98/share from JPY 31.49/share. However, Apple International noted that full-year guidance remains under review pending clarification of international conditions and foreign exchange trends, with updated full-year forecasts to be disclosed once reliable calculations become feasible.
