Stacked from zero: upward is an increase in cash, downward a decrease (in ¥ million).The net change represented by the dotted line is the total of three items, calculated from figures provided by the company.
Print circulation declined, while the digital edition remained firm. Event revenue increased, and the favorable impact of foreign exchange also contributed to higher net sales. Cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses both increased due to higher costs resulting from the weaker yen and other factors, resulting in a slight decline in operating profit. Ordinary profit increased due to higher equity-method investment gains and other factors, while interim net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased due to higher tax expenses.
