The Tokyo-listed company, operating under Japanese accounting standards, recorded an operating loss of 90 million yen alongside a pretax loss of 99 million yen. These figures translate to a negative per-share earning of 14.12 yen for the quarter. While the current performance reflects a challenging start to the fiscal year, Nippon Chuzo maintains its forecast for an annual dividend of 30 yen per share, with no interim distributions planned for the first three quarters.
