Previously, the company expected net sales of ¥500,000 million, operating profit to be ¥11,000 million, profit attributable to owners of parent to be ¥6,600 million and Basic earnings per share to be ¥70.57. Reason for Withdrawal: As a result of the system outage caused by the ransomware attack that occurred on October 19, 2025, which led to the temporary suspension of services for the core businesses, including ASKUL and LOHACO, net sales and profits at all levels for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending May 20, 2026 fell significantly below the initial expectations. Although the company has entered the full-scale service recovery phase since mid-December 2025 and is making company-wide efforts in promotions and sales activities to restore customer trust and business performance, the company has determined that it is difficult to reasonably estimate the company's future outlook. Accordingly, the company hereby withdraw the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending May 20, 2026, which was announced on July 4, 2025, and revise it to “undetermined”.Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Nov 21Now 21% overvaluedOver the last 90 days, the stock has fallen 6.3% to JP¥1,442.

The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 2.7% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (26% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.9% net profit margin).공시 • Jul 06ASKUL Corporation, Annual General Meeting, Aug 05, 2025ASKUL Corporation, Annual General Meeting, Aug 05, 2025.Reported Earnings • Jul 05Full year 2025 earnings released: EPS: JP¥95.44 (vs JP¥196 in FY 2024)Full year 2025 results: EPS: JP¥95.44 (down from JP¥196 in FY 2024).

Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.0% per year for the foreseeable future.

Accrual ratio: 26% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.공시 • Jul 06ASKUL Corporation, Annual General Meeting, Aug 04, 2023ASKUL Corporation, Annual General Meeting, Aug 04, 2023.Reported Earnings • Jul 05Full year 2023 earnings: EPS exceeds analyst expectationsFull year 2023 results: EPS: JP¥100 (up from JP¥90.83 in FY 2022).

공시 • Jan 28+ 1 more updateASKUL Corporation Withdraws Consolidated Earnings Guidance For the Fiscal Year Ending May 20, 2026ASKUL Corporation withdrew consolidated earnings guidance foe the fiscal year ending May 20, 2026. Previously, the company expected net sales of ¥500,000 million, operating profit to be ¥11,000 million, profit attributable to owners of parent to be ¥6,600 million and Basic earnings per share to be ¥70.57. Reason for Withdrawal: As a result of the system outage caused by the ransomware attack that occurred on October 19, 2025, which led to the temporary suspension of services for the core businesses, including ASKUL and LOHACO, net sales and profits at all levels for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending May 20, 2026 fell significantly below the initial expectations. Although the company has entered the full-scale service recovery phase since mid-December 2025 and is making company-wide efforts in promotions and sales activities to restore customer trust and business performance, the company has determined that it is difficult to reasonably estimate the company's future outlook. Accordingly, the company hereby withdraw the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending May 20, 2026, which was announced on July 4, 2025, and revise it to “undetermined”.

New Risk • Jul 08New minor risk - Dividend sustainabilityThe dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 2.7% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (26% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.9% net profit margin).

New Risk • Jul 08New major risk - Earnings qualityThe company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 47% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.0% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (47% accrual ratio).

New Risk • Jul 06New major risk - Earnings qualityThe company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 26% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
