The most notable gain appeared in pretax profit, which more than doubled to ¥18.83 billion from ¥7.09 billion. According to the company’s financial statement, net profit attributable to the group rose to ¥12.76 billion, a substantial increase from the ¥7.75 billion reported last year. This performance significantly boosted shareholder value, with earnings per share climbing to ¥430.99 from ¥262.19.
Key performance metrics for the nine-month period include:
- Group revenue increased by approximately 13.4% year-over-year.
- Pretax profit saw a dramatic 165% improvement compared to the 2024 period.
- Net profit margins expanded significantly under Japanese accounting standards.
These results, calculated under Japanese accounting standards, reflect the company's ability to navigate market conditions while improving its bottom line. The sharp rise in pretax and net figures suggests a more efficient cost structure or one-off gains that bolstered the final results compared to the previous fiscal cycle.
