Revenue for the period rose to 30.59 billion yen, climbing from the 27.98 billion yen recorded in 2025. Operating profit followed a similar upward trajectory, reaching 4.15 billion yen against the previous year’s 3.82 billion yen. Pretax profit also saw a modest gain, moving to 4.13 billion yen from 3.99 billion yen.
