The revision reflects the April 1, 2026 completion of the management integration, which transitioned ARCHION to a holding company structure. The company will record a negative goodwill gain (負ののれん発生益) of JPY 233.2bn in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. This non-cash accounting benefit arises when an acquirer purchases assets below their fair value. The company noted that the allocation of acquisition costs remains incomplete, so the figure is provisional pending finalization of the purchase price allocation.
Revenue guidance remains unchanged at JPY 2425.0bn, while operating profit, pre-tax profit, and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders are projected to increase substantially due to the goodwill gain. However, the company emphasized that this benefit is a one-time, non-cash accounting item with no impact on actual cash flows. Consequently, dividend guidance remains unrevised. Investors should evaluate the company’s underlying operational performance by excluding the negative goodwill gain when assessing dividend sustainability and capital allocation decisions.
