  • Net sales for the first half of FY2025 were ¥464.2 billion, down 4.8% year-over-year, with core operating income at ¥57.0 billion, down 22.0% year-over-year, mainly due to a reaction to last year's record performance and strategic investments in Asia.

  • Interim profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 5.5% year-over-year, supported by improved net financial and insurance benefit income.

  • Japan achieved record high net sales and profits, while overseas, especially Asia, saw declines due to reputational damage in China and market contraction.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

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.
