Good Com Asset revises earnings forecast, maintains dividend and shareholder benefits

Good Com Asset has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending October 2025, projecting a substantial decrease in operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of the parent. The previous operating profit forecast of JPY 5,880 million has been revised down to JPY 2,940 million, a 50.0% reduction. Ordinary profit is now projected at JPY 2,590 million from JPY 5,416 million, and profit attributable to owners of the parent at JPY 1,525 million from JPY 3,707 million, representing a 58.9% decrease. This downward revision is attributed to a JPY 1.2 billion segment loss from retail sales due to declining sales to civil servants, M&A-related expenses, shareholder return expansion costs, and increased spending on TV commercials and sponsorships.

Despite the revised earnings, the company will maintain its dividend forecast of JPY 45 per share, prioritizing shareholder returns with a target payout ratio of 35%. Additionally, Good Com Asset announced a special shareholder benefit program to commemorate its 10th anniversary of listing. Shareholders holding 1,000 shares or more as of April 30, 2026, and October 31, 2026, will receive digital gifts worth JPY 50,000 each, totaling JPY 100,000 annually. These gifts, which include Amazon gift cards and other options, will be delivered within three months of each record date.
