Tomony Holdings announces share buyback, raises profit forecast

Tomony Holdings, Inc. announced a resolution by its Board of Directors to acquire up to 1,400,000 common shares, representing 0.72% of its total issued shares, for a maximum of JPY 1 billion. This buyback, effective from November 12, 2025, to January 30, 2026, aims to enhance capital efficiency and provide flexibility for future growth investments and compensation programs. This aligns with its shareholder return policy targeting a dividend payout ratio of 30% or higher from fiscal year 2025.

The company also revised its full-year consolidated ordinary profit forecast upward to JPY 26.05 billion, an increase of JPY 1.2 billion or 4.8% from the previous forecast of JPY 24.85 billion. This revision is driven by an anticipated increase in loan interest, securities interest, and dividends exceeding initial estimates, alongside higher gains on government bonds.

Despite a decrease in ordinary profit to JPY 9.858 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent to JPY 5.668 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2025, total assets increased by JPY 102.5 billion to JPY 5.137 trillion, and total net assets grew by JPY 6.3 billion to JPY 290.3 billion, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. No changes were made to the forecast for profit attributable to owners of parent, which remains JPY 16.5 billion.
