The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
Importantly, our data indicates that LuckLand's profit was reduced by JP¥800m, due to unusual items, over the last year. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. LuckLand took a rather significant hit from unusual items in the year to June 2024. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items made its statutory profit significantly weaker than it would otherwise be.

Furthermore, it has done a great job growing EPS over the last year. The goal of this article has been to assess how well we can rely on the statutory earnings to reflect the company's potential, but there is plenty more to consider.
