Chuo Warehouse Net Profit Rises to ¥1.32 Billion on Stable Revenue

The logistics provider recorded total revenue of ¥21.05 billion, a marginal increase from the ¥20.98 billion reported during the same period in the previous fiscal year. While the top-line performance remained stable, the company's operating profit faced pressure, retreating to ¥1.61 billion from ¥1.81 billion a year earlier.

Divergent Earnings Performance

The decline in operational efficiency was also reflected in pretax figures, which fell to ¥1.89 billion from ¥2.00 billion. However, the bottom-line net profit saw a significant boost, rising to ¥1.32 billion. This growth translated directly to shareholder returns, with earnings per share climbing to ¥72.11, up from ¥58.68 in the prior-year period.

According to the official filing, these results were prepared in accordance with Japanese accounting standards. The data suggests that while Chuo Warehouse successfully navigated bottom-line growth, it continues to face the broader challenges of rising costs currently impacting Japan’s domestic logistics and warehousing sector.
