Dynam Japan Holdings Reports Its Interim Financial Results

Dynam Japan Holdings, headquartered in Arakawa, Tokyo, has recently disclosed its preliminary consolidated financial results for the interim period ending March 2026. Led by Chairman and CEO Akira Hosaka, the company revealed significant figures this reporting period.

For the interim period, total revenue reached 61.718 billion JPY, marking a modest decrease of 3.2% compared to the same period last year. In contrast, operating profit surged to 6.913 billion JPY, representing an impressive increase of 14.4% year-on-year, while net profit reached 3.071 billion JPY, showing a remarkable 40.2% rise. This trend reflects a shift in the company’s business strategy, focusing on profitability despite falling revenues.

Pachinko Business Overview

In the pachinko hall sector, the gaming population has seen a slight increase compared to the previous year; however, the number of operational facilities has been on a downward trend, particularly among small to medium-sized venues. The sector is witnessing increasing monopolization, with large chains and strong regional players dominating the market.

Since the introduction of smart slot machines in November 2022, both the number of participants engaging with slots and the overall sales have shown a consistent rise. In response to this, Dynam has strategically reduced its pachinko machine offerings and expanded its slot machine inventory. This initiative led to renovations in 78 facilities during the interim period, significantly bolstering competitiveness in the marketplace. Furthermore, the company is proactively investing in energy-efficient technologies like air-conditioning systems, which assist in reducing electricity consumption and operational costs.

Overall, the company’s pachinko hall count witnessed the opening of one new establishment while five closed, resulting in a total of 423 locations by the end of the interim period.

Aircraft Leasing Business Insights

In the aircraft leasing sector, demand remains robust, driven by soaring engine costs and maintenance delays necessitating the acquisition of spare engines. As a result, the need for engine leasing has been on the rise. Dynam continues to invest in engines while also building its inventory of next-generation narrow-body aircraft leases. The company aims to expand its fee-based businesses related to sourcing, managing, and remarketing these assets.

Shareholder Returns

As for shareholder dividends, the interim payout has been set at 2.50 JPY per share, reflecting the company’s commitment to returning value to its shareholders while pushing for business growth.
