Sales and operating profit both moved in a healthier direction.
On the income statement, revenue moved from ¥779.7B to ¥1.1T (▲ +44.7%), so the top line did not break. Gross profit only slipped from ¥445.1B to ¥726.1B, while operating profit swung from ¥228.2B to ¥499.1B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥335.2B (prior ¥286.0B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥340.0B from ¥262.5B. 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 ¥376.1B while owners’ equity fell to ¥795.7B. ROE moved from 34.4% to 57.6%, and the equity ratio from 59.3% to 67.9%. Employee count is 7,241 vs 7,001 a year earlier.
