Executive summary

Profit attributable to owners rose 1.3% to ¥79,185 million, but comprehensive income surged 152.4% year-over-year due to foreign currency translation gains.

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.
