POSTMATE HOLDINGS INC Revises FY2026 Forecast — Operating Profit Up 37.9%

POSTMATE HOLDINGS INC (TSE:308A) has revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending June 2026, raising operating profit guidance while cutting net profit due to a significant asset impairment charge at a subsidiary childcare facility.

The company expects core childcare business revenue to fall slightly short of prior guidance, though government subsidy income remains robust. Cost control measures, including improved personnel allocation efficiency, are driving the operating profit and ordinary income (keijo rieki) upgrades. However, the consolidated subsidiary “Postmate Childcare Garden Kadoya Yakujin” has posted operating losses for two consecutive periods, prompting the company to record a JPY 25.1M impairment loss on fixed assets as an extraordinary charge. This non-operating item reduces net profit attributable to parent company shareholders by 58.2% to JPY 10M, with earnings per share declining to JPY 45.26/share from JPY 108.38/share.

The revision highlights operational improvements in core business execution offset by facility-level performance challenges. The impairment charge signals management’s acknowledgment of structural issues at the underperforming subsidiary. Investors should monitor whether management implements corrective actions at the loss-making facility or considers strategic alternatives. The divergence between operating profit strength and net profit weakness underscores the importance of tracking both metrics when evaluating the company’s underlying operational health versus one-time charges.
