Operating profit saw the most significant decline, dropping to 135 million yen from 339 million yen a year earlier. Pretax profit followed a similar downward trajectory, settling at 372 million yen compared to the previous year's 462 million yen. Consequently, earnings per share slipped to 15.80 yen from 19.25 yen.

Despite the softer financial performance, the company maintains its dividend strategy. Shareholders can expect a year-end dividend of 28 yen, matching the previous year's total annual payout of 28 yen.
