アクセルスペースホールディングス lowered its consolidated full-year net loss forecast for the fiscal year ending May 2027 from a loss of ¥240 million to a loss of ¥3.65 billion.

In addition, the AxelLiner business received written notice concerning the termination of its contract with Pale Blue and is said to have incorporated the impact into its forecasts. A ¥1.88 billion extraordinary loss will be recorded for the 4 GRUS-3 satellites affected by the malfunctions.
