The numbers send mixed signals — dig into cash flow and leverage before drawing a conclusion.
On the income statement, revenue moved from — to — (—), so the top line did not break. Gross profit only slipped from ¥1.4T to ¥1.1T, while operating profit swung from ¥1.3T to ¥1.1T — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥693.9B (prior ¥654.7B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥168.4B from ¥241.7B. When profits collapse but operating cash stays positive, read the notes for impairments and other non-cash charges before assuming the business stopped generating cash.
The balance sheet got heavier on leverage. Total liabilities rose to ¥2.7T while owners’ equity fell to ¥4.7T. ROE moved from 9.5% to 8.2%, and the equity ratio from 65.3% to 61.4%. Employee count is 3,720 vs 3,679 a year earlier.
