Inabata & Co. Net Profit Dips to ¥16.75 Billion Amid Revenue Slide

Despite these contractions, the company saw a modest uptick in pretax profit, which rose to ¥21.46 billion from ¥20.83 billion, according to the latest financial filing.

The divergence between rising pretax figures and falling net income suggests shifts in non-operating items or tax adjustments under Japanese accounting standards. Earnings per share for the nine-month period fell to ¥312.00, compared to ¥320.29 in the prior year.
