Kintetsu Holdings reports strong Q2, raises full-year revenue outlook

Kintetsu Group Holdings announced robust consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026. Operating revenue increased 0.3% year-on-year to 856,315 million yen, and operating profit rose 6.7% to 42,167 million yen. This growth was propelled by strong performance in transportation, real estate, merchandise sales, and hotels and leisure, despite a decrease in international logistics revenue. Consequently, the company revised its full-year operating revenue forecast to 1,750,000 million yen, while maintaining its operating profit and ordinary profit forecasts at 88,000 million yen and 78,000 million yen, respectively.

In conjunction with its financial performance, Kintetsu Group Holdings is enhancing its shareholder benefit program, effective March 31, 2026. New benefits include a long-term holding incentive for shareholders continuously holding 300 shares or more for at least three years, offering a choice of KIPS points or gourmet gifts. Additionally, a minimum holding period of one year will be introduced for existing benefits, requiring continuous share ownership for at least three consecutive record dates.

The company plans to issue a dividend of 30.00 yen for the second quarter, leading to a projected annual dividend of 60.00 yen per share for the fiscal year ending March 2026. This reflects a commitment to shareholder returns aligned with the "Kintetsu Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2028."
