Uoriki Revises Earnings Forecast — Ordinary Income Up 86.5% for H1
Uoriki (TSE:7596) raised its earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2027, driven by stronger-than-expected profitability despite modest revenue growth.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 21.2bn | JPY 21.3bn | +0.5% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 290M | JPY 320M | +10.3% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 370M | JPY 690M | +86.5% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する中間純利益 | JPY 240M | JPY 440M | +83.3% |
| １株当たり中間純利益 | JPY 17.20/share | JPY 31.52/share | +JPY 14.32/share |
For the full fiscal year, Uoriki lifted net profit guidance to JPY 1.08bn from JPY 870M, a 24.1% increase, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric encompassing operating profit plus non-operating income—rose to JPY 1.67bn from JPY 1.34bn. The company attributed the upward revision to strong performance in its retail division, where existing stores are tracking ahead of plan. Wholesale operations face headwinds from sluggish overseas exports, but this was offset by improved gross margins and controlled selling, general and administrative expenses. Notably, gains from securities sales contributed significantly to the ordinary income and net profit uplift.
The revision underscores a divergence between top-line and bottom-line momentum. While revenue growth remains subdued at 0.2% for the full year, profit expansion of 24–86% reflects operational leverage and one-time financial gains. Investors should note that ordinary income improvements are partly driven by non-operating items rather than core business expansion, warranting attention to sustainability of earnings quality in future periods.
