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 ¥8.8T to ¥9.4T (▲ +6.0%), so the top line did not break. Gross profit only slipped from ¥2.5T to ¥2.6T, while operating profit swung from ¥237.7B to ¥270.5B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥1.1T (prior ¥566.2B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥1.3T from ¥1.2T. 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 ¥13.2T while owners’ equity fell to —. ROE moved from 2.6% to 6.4%, and the equity ratio from 7.7% to 7.9%. Employee count is 179,230 vs 168,001 a year earlier.
