Keio Corporation announced on the 30th that it is postponing the release of its consolidated earnings for the April-September 2026 period, which had been scheduled for November 10. A cyberattack using ransomware — malicious software that demands payment of a ransom — caused system failures that have delayed accounting work. The company currently plans to announce the results in early December and said it is still examining the impact on its business performance.
The attack occurred late last month. The international cybercrime group Qilin has claimed responsibility. The effects of the system failures have extended beyond accounting work: some of the group’s retail stores have experienced problems such as being unable to process credit card payments. The business hotel Keio Presso Inn continues to suspend new reservations.
The company cited delays in accounting work, including at its consolidated subsidiaries, as the reason for postponing its earnings disclosure. The timing for finalizing the earnings figures remains fluid, and even the planned early-December announcement will depend on the progress of the work going forward.
