Sakura Internet Inc. (3778) on Oct. 28 raised its operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 by 64.0% to ¥4.1 billion from ¥2.5 billion, and declared a ¥2.50-per-share dividend to mark its 30th anniversary.
First-half net sales rose 46.0% from a year earlier to ¥22.827 billion, and operating profit was ¥2.963 billion, against an operating loss of ¥920 million a year earlier. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥1.903 billion, or ¥47.55 per share. Operating profit was 34.7% above the company's July 28 forecast.
The company said improved pricing in its GPU infrastructure service and large contracts won by group companies lifted sales. Profit also exceeded the forecast as the company reviewed some advertising, event and recruiting plans while prioritizing customer response, recurrence prevention and security upgrades after an unauthorized access incident in August. GPU infrastructure service sales rose 258.9% to ¥10.124 billion in the half.
