The Japanese infrastructure firm posted revenue of 12.80 billion yen for the half-year, up from 11.76 billion yen a year earlier. However, this growth failed to offset significant pressure on profitability. Operating profit fell by nearly half to 487 million yen, compared to 958 million yen in 2025. Pretax profit followed a similar downward trajectory, finishing at 584 million yen against the previous year's 1.09 billion yen.

Reflecting these results, earnings per share declined to 146.21 yen from 254.68 yen. The company confirmed it will not pay a dividend for the midyear period, maintaining its previous stance. Looking ahead, management projects a year-end dividend of 140 yen per share, a decrease from the 160 yen distributed last year. These figures were prepared in accordance with Japanese accounting standards.
