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 — to —, while operating profit swung from ¥4.8T to ¥3.8T — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥5.5T (prior ¥3.7T), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥12.7T from ¥9.0T. 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 ¥64.5T while owners’ equity fell to ¥39.9T. ROE moved from 13.6% to 10.1%, and the equity ratio from 38.4% to 37.8%.
