Mitsubishi Research Institute raises full-year profit outlook on strong segment performance

Mitsubishi Research Institute revised its consolidated full-year performance forecast upward for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. The company now expects consolidated operating profit of JPY 7,300 million, a 17.7% increase from the previously announced JPY 6,200 million. Ordinary profit is projected to reach JPY 8,800 million, up 17.3% from JPY 7,500 million, while profit attributable to owners of parent is anticipated to be JPY 5,700 million, marking a substantial 39.0% increase from JPY 4,100 million. Consolidated net sales remain unchanged at JPY 122,000 million.

The upward revision is attributed to solid performance in both the Think Tank and Consulting Services and IT Services segments. The Think Tank and Consulting Services segment saw its ordinary profit forecast increase by JPY 800 million to JPY 5,500 million, reflecting strong order intake from government agencies and improved operational efficiency. The IT Services segment's ordinary profit forecast also rose by JPY 500 million to JPY 3,300 million, due to the resolution of unprofitable projects and cost compression efforts.

Furthermore, the company expects to record an extraordinary gain from the sale of investment securities, as announced on August 18, 2025. This gain contributes to the overall improved profitability. The year-end dividend forecast for September 2025 remains unchanged at this time.
