Revenue for the Japanese firm grew to 8.93 billion yen, up from 8.28 billion yen in the same period last year. Operating profit mirrored this growth, climbing to 1.95 billion yen from 1.07 billion yen. However, these gains were overshadowed by a substantial drop in pretax profit, which plummeted to 773 million yen compared to 3.38 billion yen in 2025. Consequently, earnings per share contracted to 26.60 yen from 58.04 yen. These figures, prepared under Japanese accounting standards, highlight a complex fiscal half-year where core operations improved while overall financial outcomes weakened.
