Mitsubishi HC Capital reports robust interim profit growth, net income up 43.9%

Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc. reported a substantial 43.9% increase in net income attributable to owners of the parent, reaching JPY 88,793 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, up from JPY 61,722 million in the previous year. Revenues rose 5.4% to JPY 1,127,424 million, while operating income surged 27.1% to JPY 129,962 million. Total assets as of September 30, 2025, increased by JPY 174.9 billion to JPY 11,937.3 billion, and net assets grew by JPY 41.6 billion to JPY 1,846.2 billion.

The impressive performance was attributed to multiple factors, including profit growth in the Real Estate segment, the absence of large credit costs and impairment losses in the Environment & Energy segment, and positive effects from fiscal period adjustments of consolidated subsidiaries like Engine Lease Finance Corporation. Dividends are projected to increase, with a second-quarter dividend of JPY 22.00 per share and a full-year forecast of JPY 45.00 per share.

Despite the strong interim results, the consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, remains unchanged, with an expected net income attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 160,000 million. This decision reflects that the interim progress, including the positive impact of the change in fiscal year-end for consolidated subsidiaries, was already factored into the initial forecast.
