Bushiroad Issues Financial Report for First Two Quarters of Fiscal 2026
Bushiroad Inc. experienced significant financial growth during the first half of fiscal year 2026, covering the period from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. Net sales reached 27,839 million yen, representing an 8.2% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth in revenue was accompanied by a substantial surge in profitability across all primary metrics. Operating profit rose by 68.5% to 2,908 million yen, while ordinary profit climbed 81.8% to 3,488 million yen. Most notably, profit attributable to owners of the parent more than doubled, increasing by 107.4% to reach 2,577 million yen.
The financial position of the company remains stable, with total assets increasing to 50,742 million yen and net assets rising to 28,150 million yen. The equity-to-asset ratio improved from 47.7% at the end of fiscal 2025 to 52.2% by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Per-share data reflects a two-for-one share split executed on October 1, 2025; adjusting for this split, profit per share for the first two quarters stood at 19.00 yen, compared to 9.01 yen in the prior year.
Despite the strong performance in the first half of the year, the full-year forecast for fiscal 2026 suggests a more conservative outlook for the remaining periods. The year-end targets include net sales of 56,000 million yen and an operating profit of 4,500 million yen, which would represent slight year-over-year declines of 0.3% and 7.6%, respectively. This indicates an expectation of a significant deceleration in the second half of the fiscal year. The company plans an annual dividend of 2.50 yen per share, following the adjustments necessitated by the recent stock split.
