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 ¥980.3B to ¥719.5B, while operating profit swung from ¥405.3B to ¥40.1B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥358.2B (prior ¥492.1B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥1.0T from ¥941.5B. 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 ¥2.7T while owners’ equity fell to ¥2.8T. ROE moved from 12.8% to 3.3%, and the equity ratio from 53.3% to 50.6%. Employee count is 37,542 vs 37,866 a year earlier.
