Asakuma First-Quarter Profits Slip Despite Revenue Growth

The company’s revenue reached 2.87 billion yen, up from 2.29 billion yen reported during the corresponding quarter in 2025. However, rising costs weighed heavily on the bottom line, as operating profit dropped to 97 million yen from 111 million yen. Pretax profit followed a similar downward trajectory, settling at 99 million yen compared to 111 million yen the previous year.

Diluted earnings per share for the period stood at 9.88 yen, down from 17.42 yen. These results, prepared under Japanese accounting standards, indicate a challenging start to the fiscal year for the company as it balances revenue growth against narrower margins.
