The numbers send mixed signals — dig into cash flow and leverage before drawing a conclusion.
On the income statement, revenue moved from ¥2.1T to ¥2.0T (▼ -1.9%), so the top line did not break. Gross profit only slipped from ¥405.6B to ¥437.5B, while operating profit swung from ¥160.7B to ¥174.8B — the damage is concentrated below gross profit.
Cash tells a different story than earnings. Operating cash flow was still ¥340.7B (prior ¥283.7B), and cash on the balance sheet rose to ¥58.5B from ¥82.3B. 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 ¥1.5T while owners’ equity fell to —. ROE moved from 8.2% to 8.7%, and the equity ratio from 52.8% to 54.4%. Employee count is 21,835 vs 21,404 a year earlier.
