キャスター is expected to return to ordinary profitability this fiscal year, with revenue forecast at around the ¥440 billion level. By contrast, it remained in the red in the previous fiscal year.
According to the earnings flash, compared with キャスター's previous-year results and its previous forecast, revenue was ¥458.8 billion, broadly flat year on year, while ordinary profit was a loss of ¥38.6 billion and net profit was a loss of ¥39.3 billion. For the current fiscal year, revenue is forecast at ¥445.3 billion, operating profit at ¥5 billion, ordinary profit at ¥4.1 billion and net profit at ¥300 million, indicating an expected return to profitability. Adjusted EPS is ¥1.8, while the dividend revision is 0.
The most notable aspect of the current fiscal year forecast is the expected return to ordinary profitability, with quarterly results also indicating an overall improvement toward profitability. By contrast, revenue for the fiscal year ending August 2027 is forecast at ¥446.8 billion and ordinary profit at a loss of ¥500 million, so whether the improvement this fiscal year will continue into the next fiscal year remains uncertain.
