Operating loss was ¥2,475 million, compared with operating profit of ¥1,327 million in the previous fiscal year.

  7. FY2024-Q3WorsenedAnnual report

    「Against this backdrop, lower demand due to deteriorating business sentiment and other factors caused revenue for the nine months ended the third quarter of the fiscal year to decline 1.9% year on year to ¥86,505 million. Operating profit was a loss of ¥2,618 million, compared with profit of ¥1,769 million in the same period of the previous year, as earnings deteriorated under the impact of elevated raw material and fuel prices, higher costs from yen depreciation and lower sales. In addition, foreign exchange valuation gains on foreign-currency-denominated assets resulting from yen depreciation led to an ordinary loss of ¥2,114 million, compared with ordinary profit of ¥2,414 million in the same period of the previous year, while net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥2,859 million, compared with profit of ¥1,101 million.」

  8. FY2024-Q2WorsenedAnnual report

Operating profit was a loss of ¥676 million, compared with profit of ¥987 million in the same quarter of the previous year, as lower sales and substantial cost increases from higher energy prices and yen depreciation more than offset the effects of price revisions and cost-cutting measures. In addition, the rise in the US dollar and continued yen weakness resulted in foreign exchange valuation gains on foreign-currency-denominated assets, while ordinary profit declined 72.8% to ¥762 million and net income attributable to owners of the parent declined 88.4% to ¥237 million.」

    Weak demand and rising costs led to lower revenue, and operating profit turned from profit of ¥987 million in the same period of the previous year to a loss of ¥676 million. Ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent also declined significantly.

    「As a result, revenue for the nine months ended the third quarter of the fiscal year rose 5.0% year on year to ¥88,173 million. Operating profit declined 63.9% to ¥1,769 million, having been significantly affected by higher costs from elevated raw material and fuel prices and yen depreciation. In addition, foreign exchange valuation gains on foreign-currency-denominated assets resulting from yen depreciation compared with the beginning of the fiscal year led to ordinary profit declining 46.6% to ¥2,414 million and net income attributable to owners of the parent declining 64.9% to ¥1,101 million.」

  12. FY2023-Q2RestatedAnnual report

    「Against this backdrop, as demand increased with the recovery in economic activity from the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, revenue for the six months ended the second quarter of the fiscal year rose 6.5% year on year to ¥59,105 million. Operating profit declined 55.4% to ¥1,514 million, having been significantly affected by higher raw material and fuel prices and the weaker yen. In addition, the continued depreciation of the yen resulted in foreign exchange valuation gains on foreign-currency-denominated assets, lifting ordinary profit 33.1% to ¥3,887 million and net income attributable to owners of the parent 31.4% to ¥2,909 million.」

In addition, the rise in the US dollar and continued yen weakness resulted in foreign exchange valuation gains on foreign-currency-denominated assets, lifting ordinary profit 57.5% to ¥2,806 million and net income attributable to owners of the parent 62.0% to ¥2,040 million.」

    Revenue increased on recovering demand, while operating profit declined due to higher costs from elevated raw material and fuel prices and yen depreciation. Ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent increased due to foreign exchange valuation gains.
