センコン物流 announced its financial results after the market close on 12 November. It raised its forecast for ordinary profit for the current fiscal year by 4.7% from the previous forecast, to ¥900 million. Results for the latest three months improved substantially.
センコン物流 released its financial results summary, reporting consolidated ordinary profit of ¥440 million for the first-half period (April-September) of the fiscal year ending March 2027, up 2.5-fold year on year. Revenue was ¥9,261 million, operating profit was ¥442 million, and net profit was ¥284 million. Based on first-half results, it raised its full-year ordinary profit forecast from the previous ¥860 million to ¥900 million.
Based on first-half results and the full-year forecast, consolidated ordinary profit for the second half is calculated to increase sharply to ¥450 million, up 2.4-fold year on year. In the latest three months, ordinary profit for the July-September quarter was ¥210 million, up 7.6-fold year on year, while the operating margin improved.
The revision shifts the full-year plan for the current fiscal year toward higher profit. The company did not comment on its revenue or dividend plans before and after the revision, and raised its forecast on an ordinary-profit basis. Under the new assumptions, the full-year profit forecast is ¥900 million, with the expected year-on-year profit growth rate set to increase.
Although specific figures for the second half were disclosed in the outlook for the remainder of the current fiscal year, the focus at this point is less on the market reaction after the earnings announcement than on the feasibility of achieving the full-year plan and the direction of future earnings.
