Scroll Corporation Revises Net Profit Forecast Up 9.3% on Stock Sale Gains
Scroll Corporation (TSE:8005) has raised its net profit guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2027, driven by gains from the sale of policy-held equity stakes.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 90.0bn | JPY 90.0bn | +0.0% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 6.10bn | JPY 6.10bn | +0.0% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 6.50bn | JPY 6.50bn | +0.0% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益 | JPY 4.30bn | JPY 4.70bn | +9.3% |
| １株当たり当期純利益 | JPY 127M | JPY 141M | +11.3% |
The company recorded an extraordinary gain of JPY 550M from the sale of policy-held securities in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, reflecting its ongoing strategy to reduce such holdings. This one-time benefit flows through to net profit attributable to parent company shareholders, which the company now projects at JPY 4.70bn versus the prior forecast of JPY 4.30bn. Earnings per share (EPS) is expected to rise to JPY 141.48/share from JPY 127.17/share, an 11.3% increase.
Revenue, operating profit (eigyo rieki), and ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric that includes non-operating income and expenses—remain unchanged at JPY 90.0bn, JPY 6.10bn, and JPY 6.50bn respectively, indicating the revision reflects financial engineering rather than operational improvement.
The revision underscores Scroll’s capital allocation priorities but offers limited insight into underlying business momentum. The company has maintained its annual dividend guidance unchanged, suggesting management views the gain as non-recurring. International investors should note that the profit uplift is attributable to a one-time securities sale rather than sustainable earnings growth from core operations.
