Poletowin Holdings revises full-year forecast down but maintains dividend

Poletowin Holdings reported a 0.7% decrease in net sales to JPY 36,998 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025. Operating profit plummeted 71.7% to JPY 178 million and ordinary profit fell 89.0% to JPY 67 million. The company recorded a net loss attributable to owners of parent of JPY 237 million, compared to a loss of JPY 229 million in the prior year. This decline was primarily attributed to sluggish project acquisition in both domestic and overseas solutions during the third quarter.

Consequently, Poletowin Holdings revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. The new projections anticipate net sales of JPY 48,529 million, down from the previous JPY 49,729 million, and operating profit of JPY 279 million, a sharp decrease from JPY 1,124 million. Ordinary profit is now forecast at JPY 149 million, significantly lower than the prior JPY 825 million, and a net loss attributable to owners of parent of JPY 316 million is expected, compared to a previous forecast of JPY 316 million profit.

Despite the revised earnings forecast, the company affirmed its dividend policy, maintaining the full-year dividend forecast at JPY 16 per share. This decision aligns with its commitment to stable and continuous dividends, based on a minimum dividend on equity (DOE) of 3% and a progressive dividend approach.
