The company’s latest financial disclosure reveals a widening gap between top-line growth and profitability. While revenue climbed to 4.33 billion yen from 3.97 billion yen a year earlier, operating profit withered to 391 million yen, down sharply from the 589 million yen recorded in the same quarter of 2025. Pretax profit followed a similar trajectory, sliding to 414 million yen against the prior year's 600 million yen.

Earnings per share mirrored the broader decline, falling to 10.33 yen from 17.38 yen, with diluted earnings per share settling at 10.28 yen. These figures, prepared under Japanese accounting standards, reflect a challenging start to the fiscal year for the group as rising costs continue to weigh on the company’s margins.
