かっこ has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the current fiscal year to reflect a wider net loss. The cumulative second-quarter net loss was ¥84 million, and the full-year consolidated net loss forecast was changed from the previously projected ¥117 million to ¥206 million.
かっこ announced its earnings after the market close on 13 August, disclosing that its consolidated net loss for the cumulative second quarter of the current fiscal year (January-June) was ¥107 million, wider than the loss recorded in the same period a year earlier. It also revised its full-year consolidated net loss forecast downward, from the previous forecast of ¥117 million to ¥206 million.
Based on first-half results and its second-half forecast, かっこ estimates a consolidated net loss of ¥99 million for July-December, wider than the ¥73 million non-consolidated loss recorded in the same period a year earlier. For April-June, revenue was ¥347 million, operating loss was ¥148 million and net loss was ¥148 million, with losses widening.
Under the new outlook, full-year revenue for the current fiscal year has been revised upward from ¥900 million to ¥1,058 million. However, operating profit, ordinary profit and net income are all expected to deteriorate, with the revised net income forecast standing at -¥206 million and revised earnings per share at -¥74.3. For the second half of the current fiscal year, the company expects revenue of approximately ¥603 million and net income of approximately -¥99 million, although the forecasts may be revised again depending on actual progress.
The company moved to consolidated accounting from the second quarter of the current fiscal year, so the figures above are estimates based on first-half results and the full-year forecast. Further revisions remain possible depending on future disclosures.
