• Overall Consolidated Performance
  • Total consolidated net sales increased 7.1% year-over-year to 71.138 billion yen; operating profit decreased 0.7% year-over-year to 1.64 billion yen; ordinary profit decreased 15.5% year-over-year to 1.551 billion yen; net profit attributable to parent company shareholders decreased 20.1% year-over-year to 0.97 billion yen; EBITDA increased 8.5% year-over-year to 2.816 billion yen, with the company's earning power trending upward.
