No material one-offs extracted from this filing.
Sales and operating profit both moved in a healthier direction.
On the income statement, revenue moved from ¥39.2B to ¥46.1B (▲ +17.7%), so the top line did not break. Gross profit only slipped from ¥36.2B to ¥42.7B, while operating profit swung from ¥9.1B to ¥11.7B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥9.6B (prior ¥8.1B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥15.3B from ¥19.1B. 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 ¥8.5B while owners’ equity fell to —. ROE moved from 31.8% to 41.5%, and the equity ratio from 69.6% to 72.3%. Employee count is 2,398 vs 2,063 a year earlier.
