Chiikishinbunsha revises upwards full-year earnings guidance for FY2025

Chiikishinbunsha has revised its full-year business plan, increasing projected sales from JPY3,201 million to JPY3,233 million, and net profit from JPY22 million to JPY30 million. Operating profit is also revised from JPY73 million to JPY58 million. The change has an impact on EBITDA, which increases from JPY69 million to JPY84 million. The company attributes this adjustment to the progress of new strategies and a more realistic assessment of current trends, now providing an earnings forecast of JPY8.27 earnings per share. While sales growth is modest, the company expects significant operating leverage to boost recurring profit. Despite lower operating profits, the adjustment reflects increased investment in future growth initiatives.
