TOKYO, Mar 13 (Pulse News Wire) – Listed Index Fund International Developed Countries Equity (msci-kokusai) (168A.T) reported a significant difference between its fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, earnings forecast made on September 12, 2025, and actual results. Operating profit and ordinary profit exceeded forecasts due to efficiency improvements from smart factory initiatives.
However, net income attributable to parent shareholders fell below expectations due to adjustments in accounting treatments related to equity acquisitions and equipment upgrades. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the company's operating profit was ¥216 million, up 36.2%, while ordinary profit reached ¥224 million, a 39.2% increase compared to previous forecasts. Net income attributable to parent shareholders stood at ¥151 per share, marking a decrease of 58.5%. Additionally, the company recorded a special loss of ¥252 million due to negative goodwill arising from the acquisition of Tokyo Neo Print shares and impairment losses totaling ¥52 million from the disposal of old printing equipment.
These factors contributed to the discrepancy in net income figures. In individual performance, revenue increased to ¥4.15 billion, with operating profit reaching ¥252 million, a 66.7% rise from the initial forecast. Individual net income also saw a substantial boost, rising to ¥153 per share, a 41.5% improvement. The company attributes these gains to operational efficiencies and synergies realized through group integration efforts.
