Tokyo Energy & Systems (TYO:1945) raised its profit forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, citing cost reductions and one-time gains, according to a Wednesday bourse filing.
The engineering firm now expects consolidated profit of 2.9 billion yen from 1.5 billion yen previously, despite a slight 0.4% dip in sales to 67.7 billion yen from 68 billion yen initially.
The better profit forecast is mainly due to a 1.4 billion yen in actuarial gains from pension adjustments due to rising interest rates and derivative valuation gains from forex fluctuations.
On a non-consolidated basis, profit is projected at 2.7 billion yen from 1.3 billion yen, with no change to the 63 billion yen sales forecast.
Tokyo Energy & Systems' shares gained nearly 7% at market close.
