TOKYO, Feb 13, 2026 (JCN Newswire=ACY News) - Land Business Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 8944), announced its unaudited consolidated earnings results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026.

For the period from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the company reported a decline in sales and profits compared to the same period last year. The consolidated revenue decreased by 7.9% to 3,063 million yen from 3,326 million yen in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. Operating income fell sharply to negative 504 million yen from negative 374 million yen, while ordinary income dropped to negative 633 million yen from negative 481 million yen. Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company also declined significantly to negative 279 million yen from negative 387 million yen in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share for the current quarter stood at negative 14.07 yen, down from negative 19.55 yen in the comparable period last year.

As of the end of the reporting period, the company's total assets amounted to 55,337 million yen, a slight decrease from 56,408 million yen as of the same date in the previous fiscal year. Equity was recorded at 15,692 million yen, marking a reduction from 16,071 million yen previously. Consequently, the equity ratio slightly declined to 28.4%, from 28.5%. No dividend payout is expected during this interim period, and there were no plans for additional dividend distributions throughout the fiscal year based on preliminary estimates.

Looking ahead, the company forecasts that for the full fiscal year ending September 2026, consolidated net sales will increase by 5.6% to 19,650 million yen, driven by anticipated growth in operations. Operating profit is projected to rise substantially by 136.2% to 1,500 million yen, reflecting improved operational efficiency and cost management. Ordinary income is estimated to grow by 512.6% to 1,015 million yen, contributing to a significant turnaround in profitability. Additionally, net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company is forecasted to reach 515 million yen, up from losses in the previous year. This would translate to earnings per share of 25.95 yen, reversing the negative trend seen in recent quarters.

The company noted that these projections are contingent upon certain assumptions about future economic conditions and market trends. Actual performance may vary due to risks and uncertainties associated with changes in the business environment.
