The company’s operating performance strengthened during the period, with operating profit climbing to ¥844 million from ¥770 million a year earlier. Pretax profit followed a similar upward trend, reaching ¥865 million compared to ¥783 million in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. These results, reported under Japanese accounting standards, indicate a steady expansion of the firm’s service margins.

Earnings per share rose to ¥139.77, up from ¥123.65 in the prior year, reflecting the improved bottom-line efficiency. Despite the profit growth, the company has opted for a stable capital return strategy rather than an immediate increase in payouts.
