Central Keibi Hosho Co., Ltd. (9740), a Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime-listed security services company, on Oct. 9, 2026 cut its full-year net profit forecast by 21.7% to ¥1.8 billion from ¥2.3 billion due to a lawsuit settlement, after first-half net profit fell 41.9% to ¥986 million.
For the six months ended Aug. 31, 2026, revenue rose 4.8% to ¥40.59 billion and operating profit rose 10.0% to ¥2.79 billion, beating the company's April 13 forecast by 46.7%. Costs initially expected to be booked as operating expenses were reclassified, after review, as a ¥464 million contract cancellation loss under extraordinary losses.
The company also booked ¥400 million in insurance proceeds as extraordinary income and a ¥948 million litigation-related loss as an extraordinary loss. The litigation loss reflects a settlement payment in a damages lawsuit announced on April 21 and Aug. 13, 2026, which was not included in the original forecast. First-half net profit came in 17.8% below the ¥1.2 billion forecast.
