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 ¥678.7B to ¥745.4B (▲ +9.8%), so the top line did not break. Gross profit only slipped from ¥86.6B to ¥90.3B, while operating profit swung from ¥32.2B to ¥34.2B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥5.2B (prior ¥12.8B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥49.3B from ¥41.2B. 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.
Goodwill on the balance sheet fell from ¥1.7B to ¥1.2B, consistent with heavy write-downs of past acquisitions’ carrying values.
The balance sheet got heavier on leverage. Total liabilities rose to ¥319.8B while owners’ equity fell to —. ROE moved from 7.0% to 14.6%, and the equity ratio from 59.2% to 57.3%. Employee count is 8,355 vs 8,076 a year earlier.
