KOA announced the variance between its forecast and actual results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending March 2027 and revised its full-year earnings forecast and year-end dividend forecast. It also disclosed the date of disclosure.
KOA reviewed its actual results for the interim period of the fiscal year ending October 2026 and the related full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, and disclosed whether a variance existed and the amount of the variance. The variance arose because the interim-period actual results differed from the previous forecast.
In light of this variance, the company revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecast. The new figures have changed from the previous forecast and may affect the subsequent performance trend.
The year-end dividend forecast was also revised, either downward or upward, potentially resulting in a change to the shareholder return plan. The disclosure was made on 23 October 2026.
The revisions are viewed as part of a review based on future performance trends and changes in market conditions. Readers will want to monitor the release of additional information.
