Hi-Lex Corporation revises full-year profit forecast up on investment securities sale

Hi-Lex Corporation has revised its consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending October 2025, primarily due to an extraordinary gain from the sale of investment securities. The company reported a gain of 6.507 billion yen from the disposal of one listed security held on October 9, 2025. This move aims to improve asset efficiency, facilitate growth investments, and serve as a source for shareholder returns.

While sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit remain unchanged from the previous forecast, profit attributable to parent company shareholders is now projected to be 7.032 billion yen, an increase of 3.147 billion yen (81.0%) from the previous forecast of 3.885 billion yen. As a result, basic earnings per share are expected to rise from 103.83 yen to 187.93 yen.

The company noted that the revised forecast for profit attributable to parent company shareholders surpasses previous estimates due to the extraordinary gain from the sale of investment securities. Hi-Lex also cautioned that these forecasts are based on currently available information, and actual results may differ due to various future factors.
