Acom reports strong first-half earnings, upgrades full-year outlook

Acom reported consolidated operating revenue of JPY165,670 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, a 6.0% increase year-on-year. Operating profit surged by 12.6% to JPY54,063 million, while ordinary profit grew by 12.5% to JPY54,245 million. Profit attributable to owners of parent saw a substantial 70.7% increase to JPY50,978 million, with basic earnings per share rising to JPY32.54 from JPY19.06. Total assets expanded to JPY1,524,213 million, and net assets reached JPY741,177 million, contributing to a higher capital adequacy ratio of 45.1%.

Following these robust first-half results, Acom has revised its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026. The company now projects operating revenue of JPY331,800 million, operating profit of JPY88,600 million, and ordinary profit of JPY88,900 million. Profit attributable to owners of parent is anticipated to reach JPY72,200 million, with basic earnings per share forecast at JPY46.09. The interim dividend per share has been increased to JPY10.00, and the annual dividend forecast is JPY20.00.

The increase in profit attributable to owners of parent was primarily driven by a change in company classification related to the recoverability of deferred tax assets, resulting in a favorable adjustment to income taxes. The financial results will be discussed in conferences for both domestic and foreign institutional investors and analysts on November 11, 2025.
