Key points from NOMURA Co., Ltd.'s Summary of Financial Results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending February 2027 are that first-half revenue was ¥73.3 billion and operating profit was ¥5.3 billion, resulting in lower revenue and profit year on year. While the reversal of special demand related to the Osaka-Kansai Expo was cited as a factor, ordinary profit for the June-August period alone increased year on year, and the operating margin also improved. Progress against the full-year plan was 39.9%, with profit recovery in the second half assumed.
In the first-half financial results, revenue was ¥73.3 billion, down 9.0% year on year, and operating profit was ¥5.3 billion, down 23.7%, resulting in lower revenue and profit. The company explained that the reversal of special demand related to the Osaka-Kansai Expo had a significant impact.
For the June-August period alone, ordinary profit increased 17.3%, while the operating margin improved from 6.0% to 7.4%, leading to the view that the profitability of the core business is unlikely to have deteriorated.
The company plans for full-year ordinary profit of ¥13.6 billion, representing progress of 39.9%. This assumes profit recovery in the second half, and the company is regarded as maintaining a high level of financial soundness and ROE.
Orders received totaled ¥91.97 billion and the order backlog was ¥88.84 billion, both significantly higher than in the same period of the previous year. This is expected to support demand going forward.
