AIストーム announced its earnings on 13 November. The net result for the nine months of the current fiscal year turned to a loss, and the full-year outlook was downgraded from a projected profit to a loss. The year-end dividend is expected to be omitted, resulting in no dividend.
AIストーム announced that its consolidated net result for the nine months ended September of the fiscal year ending December 2026 turned to a loss of ¥1.71 billion. The year-earlier period was non-consolidated and had a net profit of ¥180 million. At the same time, it downgraded its full-year consolidated net result forecast from the previous net profit forecast of ¥240 million to a net loss of ¥1.71 billion.
According to the company, the consolidated net result for the fourth quarter, covering October-December, is estimated to be a net loss of ¥7 million. The loss is expected to be narrower than the non-consolidated net loss of ¥10 million recorded in the year-earlier period. Details of revenue and operating income or loss were also released, together with the figures stated in the article.
Against the backdrop of deteriorating performance, the company indicated a policy of cancelling the previously planned ¥3 year-end dividend, resulting in no dividend for the first time in 2 fiscal years. In the latest 3-month period, July-September, the consolidated net loss was ¥520 million, while the operating margin deteriorated sharply from 12.8% in the year-earlier period to -71.6%.
