The Japanese firm saw its revenue climb to 12.60 billion yen, up from 11.62 billion yen in the previous year. Operating profit mirrored this upward trend, rising to 1.30 billion yen compared to 986 million yen previously, while pretax profit reached 1.33 billion yen. These results, calculated under Japanese accounting standards, pushed earnings per share to 66.70 yen from 43.87 yen.

Despite the robust midyear growth, the company maintained a nil dividend for the interim period. Looking ahead, Choushimaru has projected a year-end dividend of 16.00 yen per share, an increase from the 14.00 yen paid out in the prior year.
