The Niigata-based company saw its revenue grow to 43.42 billion yen, compared to 42.31 billion yen in the same period last year. This steady topline performance trickled down to the bottom line, with operating profit rising to 5.23 billion yen and pretax profit reaching 5.80 billion yen, according to the company’s financial disclosure.

The improved margins resulted in earnings per share of 224.92 yen, a significant increase from the 190.13 yen posted in the previous year. These results, calculated under Japanese accounting standards, reflect the company's ability to navigate cost pressures within the domestic construction sector.
