The consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending July 2025 (August 2024 to January 2025) turned into a loss of 9 million yen (compared to a profit of 167 million yen in the same period last year), reversing from the forecast of a 50 million yen to a loss.

In addition, the full-year consolidated ordinary profit has decreased 82.2%, from the previous forecast of 242 million yen to 43 million yen (compared to 210 million yen in the previous period).

In the most recent three-month period, from November to January (2Q), the consolidated ordinary profit significantly dropped to 9 million yen, a 89.8% decrease compared to the same period last year. The operating profit margin sharply declined from 12.7% in the same period last year to 1.0%.
