Reiterating the estimate in its April 17 disclosure, Akebono said it expects to book a gain on the sale of investments in affiliates, recorded as an extraordinary gain, of ¥300 million in consolidated results and ¥1.0 billion in non-consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2027.

With the deal complete, Guangzhou Shuguang will be reclassified from a consolidated subsidiary to an equity-method affiliate as of the end of the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027. The company said the timing of the reclassification is expected to have only a minor impact on its full-year consolidated earnings forecast.

Next steps: Guangzhou Shuguang is scheduled to become an equity-method affiliate at the end of the fiscal second quarter, and the extraordinary gains are to be reflected in consolidated and non-consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2027.
