Arisawa Manufacturing Co. Ltd. reported a nine-month net profit of ¥2.98 billion, representing a slight decrease from the previous year despite a significant uptick in top-line revenue. The Japanese manufacturer’s results for the period ending December 31 highlight a period of operational growth tempered by tightening pretax margins.
The Niigata-based company saw revenue climb to ¥41.26 billion, up from ¥37.78 billion in the same period last year. This 9.2% increase in sales helped drive operating profit to ¥4.12 billion, surpassing the ¥3.81 billion recorded previously. The growth suggests steady demand for the company’s industrial materials and electrical components.
Shifting Profit Margins
Despite the robust operational performance, pretax profit contracted to ¥3.99 billion from ¥4.09 billion. This pressure on the mid-line resulted in a net profit of ¥2.98 billion, down marginally from ¥3.00 billion a year ago. Earnings per share followed a similar trajectory, falling to ¥89.55 from ¥90.43.
According to the financial statement, the company’s performance metrics for the three quarters include:
- Revenue: ¥41.26 billion
- Operating Profit: ¥4.12 billion
- Net Profit: ¥2.98 billion
Arisawa Manufacturing prepared these results based on
Japanese accounting standards. The figures reflect a year of high production volume that was partially offset by non-operating costs, preventing the revenue gains from fully translating to the bottom line.
