KADOKAWA's profit forecast takes a hit.

KADOKAWA slashed its full-year net profit forecast by 4.8 billion yen, down 82.6% to just 1,000 million yen, after booking a 5.4 billion yen extraordinary loss from a special early retirement program.

Why it matters: The profit hit signals KADOKAWA is paying now to slim down, watch whether the 1.1 billion yen savings actually flow through to operating profit next quarter.
