Executive summary
Revenue for Q3 FY2025 rose 3.3% year-over-year to ¥1,756.1 billion, driven by the consolidation of FANCL and steady performance across core businesses, with normalized operating profit up 5.2% to ¥170.5 billion.
Profit attributable to owners surged 29.7% to ¥102.8 billion, reflecting higher operating profit and the absence of prior-year one-time losses from FANCL step acquisitions.
All major business segments contributed positively except Pharmaceuticals, which saw planned declines.
Foreign exchange headwinds reduced revenue by ¥26.1 billion and normalized operating profit by ¥4.9 billion.
No revision to the full-year earnings forecast, though temporary demand from a competitor's cyberattack and other unquantified factors present both upside and downside risks.

EPS climbed 29.7% to ¥127; normalized EBITDA reached ¥249.2 billion, up 7.1%.
Gross debt/equity ratio increased to 0.84; PBR rose due to higher share price.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
