Careerlink raises first-half forecasts on strong business performance

Careerlink Co., Ltd. revised its consolidated financial results forecasts for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025). The company now expects net sales to reach 21,500 million yen, an increase of 985 million yen (4.8%) from the previous forecast of 20,515 million yen. Operating profit is projected to rise to 1,820 million yen, a substantial 58.0% increase from 1,152 million yen, while ordinary profit is expected to hit 1,825 million yen, up 58.6% from 1,151 million yen.

Profit attributable to owners of parent is now forecast at 1,230 million yen, a 55.9% increase from the prior 789 million yen, leading to a revised net income per share of 103.59 yen. This positive adjustment is attributed to higher-than-anticipated order acquisition in the BPO-related business, particularly for benefit payment and social security projects, as well as increased orders in manufacturing human resource services, especially in housing equipment and machinery manufacturing. Gross profit margins also improved due to a more evenly distributed execution of work than initially expected.

Despite the strong first-half performance, Careerlink maintains its full-year consolidated financial results forecasts unchanged. The company plans proactive investments in the second half to strengthen its management foundation, including recruiting specialist personnel and undertaking capital expenditures for system development. However, given the uncertain business environment and potential for increased work volume from economic measures, any further revisions will be disclosed promptly.
