Yellow Hat reported an 11.1% year-on-year increase in consolidated net sales to ¥132.4 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, while operating and ordinary profits edged down 3.1% and 1.8% respectively, reflecting some margin pressure despite higher revenue. Profit attributable to owners of parent rose 7.6% to ¥10.47 billion, lifting basic earnings per share to ¥120.00 after adjusting for a two-for-one stock split, and total assets expanded to ¥202.2 billion although the equity ratio eased to 61.0%.
