Operating cash flow improved to ¥6.3 billion, supporting higher year-end cash and cash equivalents of ¥12.3 billion even as the firm continued to invest and reduce financing liabilities. For the fiscal year ending February 20, 2027, Asahi forecasts a recovery in full-year sales and profit, projecting 6.0% net sales growth and a 20.3% jump in net profit, suggesting management expects a rebound in performance after the weak 2026 results.
