The numbers send mixed signals — dig into cash flow and leverage before drawing a conclusion.
On the income statement, revenue moved from ¥8.5T to ¥8.0T (▼ -4.8%), so the top line did not break. Gross profit only slipped from ¥2.6T to ¥2.5T, while operating profit swung from ¥426.5B to ¥236.4B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥624.3B (prior ¥796.1B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥770.2B from ¥847.6B. 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 ¥4.8T while owners’ equity fell to ¥5.2T. ROE moved from 7.9% to 3.8%, and the equity ratio from 50.2% to 51.2%. Employee count is 183,685 vs 207,548 a year earlier.
