Business Results Breakdown (YoY Comparison)

  • The Japanese economy continues to show a moderate recovery trend, with stable employment and income conditions. The outlook for the global economy is uncertain mainly due to a slowdown in domestic demand in China and U.S. trade policies.

  • Overall sales remained sluggish, resulting in a decline in net sales. Although gross profit increased due to improved profitability, operating profit declined due to the inability to absorb an increase in SG&A expenses. Moreover, profit before income taxes significantly decreased mainly due to the rebound of the reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts and the gain on sale of investment securities recorded in FY03/2025 Q3.
