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 ¥239.2B to ¥252.6B, while operating profit swung from ¥73.7B to ¥75.9B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥90.5B (prior ¥74.0B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥111.8B from ¥106.2B. 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 ¥182.8B while owners’ equity fell to ¥560.9B. ROE moved from 12.3% to 11.5%, and the equity ratio from 74.8% to 74.6%. Employee count is 7,911 vs 7,716 a year earlier.
