Cash flow

Overview of financial results for FY2025

As of the end of the fiscal year under review, cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥2,987 million from the end of September 2024 to ¥17,816 million. Cash flow by activity and principal factors in the fiscal year under review were as follows.
Net cash provided by operating activities resulted in a net inflow of ¥5,661 million (compared with a net inflow of ¥4,131 million in the previous fiscal year), mainly due to income before income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Net cash used in investing activities resulted in a net outflow of ¥1,706 million (compared with a net outflow of ¥1,368 million in the previous fiscal year), mainly due to the acquisition of intangible assets, primarily software.
Net cash used in financing activities resulted in a net outflow of ¥943 million (compared with a net outflow of ¥1,637 million in the previous fiscal year), as repayments of long-term borrowings and dividend payments outweighed proceeds from capital increases and share issuances at consolidated subsidiaries.
