Operating profit plummeted to a loss of 40 million yen, contrasting sharply with the 65 million yen gain achieved in the previous year. Pretax figures followed a similar downward trajectory, settling at a loss of 61 million yen compared to a 55 million yen profit in 2023. Total revenue for the quarter fell to 553 million yen, down from 733 million yen.

These results, compiled under Japanese accounting standards, reflect significant pressure on the firm's bottom line. Earnings per share dropped to negative 3.65 yen, a notable decline from the 12.88 yen reported a year ago. The company has not provided dividend payouts for the current period, maintaining a cautious stance as it navigates this fiscal contraction.
