The Japanese jeweler saw its revenue climb to 7.48 billion yen from 6.87 billion yen a year earlier. However, the gains were overshadowed by rising expenses, which pulled operating profit down to 87 million yen from 149 million yen. Pretax profit followed a similar downward trajectory, falling to 95 million yen from 175 million yen.

The diluted earnings per share dropped significantly to 5.73 yen, compared to 31.49 yen in the previous year. These results, prepared under Japanese accounting standards, highlight a period of margin pressure for the firm as the company struggles to convert higher sales volume into shareholder value.
