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.

FY net profit forecast¥1.8 billion (from ¥2.3 billion)
1H net profit¥986 million
1H operating profit¥2,787 million
Litigation-related loss¥948 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.

Revised forecasts for the fiscal year ending Feb. 28, 2027:

The revised net profit forecast is 28.1% below the previous fiscal year's ¥2.50 billion, and earnings per share are now projected at ¥128.27, down from ¥163.90.

First-half revenue in the security segment rose 4.7% to ¥39.56 billion. In June, a subsidiary acquired shares of Kobe-based Sanwa Keibi Hosho Co., Ltd., making it a consolidated subsidiary.

The interim dividend of ¥40 per share is scheduled to be paid from Nov. 5, 2026. The full-year dividend forecast of ¥81 per share was unchanged.
