The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

To properly understand Daishinku's profit results, we need to consider the JP¥1.2b gain attributed to unusual items. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Daishinku had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to March 2025. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items are making its statutory profit significantly stronger than it would otherwise be.
