Sanyo Industries Ltd. reported a net profit of ¥974 million for the nine months ending Dec. 31, a decrease from the ¥1.05 billion recorded during the same period last year as revenue growth stalled.
The Tokyo-listed manufacturer (5958.TO) saw its total revenue slip to ¥21.38 billion during the three-quarter period, down from ¥21.68 billion in the prior year. This cooling performance filtered through the income statement, with operating profit retreating to ¥1.28 billion from ¥1.44 billion a year earlier.
Despite the broader decline in bottom-line earnings, Sanyo Industries reported a slight uptick in earnings per share, which rose to ¥329.93 from ¥327.47. This divergence between net income and per-share value often suggests a reduction in the total number of outstanding shares during the fiscal year.
