Overview of Financial Position during the Period
(Financial position)
As of March 31, 2026, total assets decreased by ¥652 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥556,509 million. It is mainly due to a decrease in cash and deposits resulting from payments of corporate taxes and dividends, among other factors.
Total liabilities decreased by ¥9,356 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to
¥272,125 million. It is mainly due to a decrease in income tax payable resulting from income tax payment. Equity increased by ¥8,703 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥284,384 million. It is mainly due to an increase in retained earnings owing to the recording of net income attributable to owners of the parent.
(Cash flows)
As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥48,202million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥177,949 million.
The following is a summary of the major factors affecting the cash flow.
Cash flow from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥19,612 million inflow (¥23,786 million inflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year). This was primarily due to the recording of net income gains and income tax payments.
Cash flow from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥48,104 million outflow (¥9,952 million outflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year), primarily due to included payments into time deposits.
Cash flow from financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was ¥20,352 million outflow (¥24,782 million outflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year), primarily due to dividends paid to non-controlling interests.
