Pretax figures followed a similar downward trend, reaching ¥33.23 billion against the prior year's ¥33.44 billion. The squeeze on margins resulted in diluted earnings per share falling to ¥383.50, down from ¥423.84 in the prior period, according to the company's financial statement.

The nine-month performance indicators for the Kyoto-based firm include:

• Group revenue increased by approximately 4.8% to ¥127.14 billion.
