TOKYO, Jan 30 (Pulse News Wire) – Marubun Corporation (7537.T) reported a foreign exchange loss of ¥1.372 billion for its third quarter ended December 31, 2025. The loss was due to the weakening of the yen during the period, resulting in settlement losses from natural hedging of foreign-currency denominated borrowings used to repay debts.
The company noted that while the third-quarter net cumulative foreign exchange loss stood at ¥1.256 billion, the amount could fluctuate based on future exchange rate movements. Marubun primarily conducts transactions in the same foreign currencies for purchases and sales, implementing either natural hedging or forward contracts to manage foreign exchange risks.
However, accounting standards require all foreign currency transactions to be converted to yen at transaction or reporting dates, leading to potential mismatches in timing that affect operating profit and extraordinary items. In a separate statement, Marubun emphasized that despite the reported loss, the impact on its consolidated performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is expected to be minor.
The company will promptly disclose any significant changes affecting its results.
