KADOKAWA revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the full fiscal year ending March 2027, substantially lowering its net income forecast. The company plans to record approximately ¥5.4 billion in extraordinary losses in connection with an early retirement program, while maintaining its previous net sales forecast.
KADOKAWA revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the full fiscal year ending March 2027, lowering its net income forecast from the previous estimate of ¥5.8 billion to ¥1 billion. The revision reflects the planned recording of approximately ¥5.4 billion in extraordinary losses associated with the early retirement program. The net sales forecast remains unchanged at ¥300.3 billion, while the operating profit and ordinary profit forecasts also remain unchanged.
Although personnel expense savings of approximately ¥1.1 billion are expected from the second quarter onward, the operating profit and ordinary profit forecasts have not been revised at this time. The personnel expense savings are therefore positioned as a potential starting point for future financial improvement and a factor that could offset the substantial decline in net income.
Overall, net sales are unchanged, while the net income forecast has been substantially revised due to the extraordinary losses. Further updates on progress and additional financial information will depend on the company's official announcements and future earnings disclosures.
