Cox Co. Quarterly Profits Slide Amid Rising Costs

Revenue remained largely stable at 3.80 billion yen, a marginal increase from the 3.77 billion yen generated in the previous year's first quarter. Despite the steady top-line performance, profitability was hampered by rising expenses. Operating profit dropped to 328 million yen from 469 million yen, while pretax profit slid to 360 million yen against the 516 million yen reported in 2025.

Shareholders saw earnings per share fall to 9.47 yen, down from 15.45 yen in the prior year. Diluted earnings followed a similar trajectory, settling at 9.44 yen compared to 15.40 yen. These figures, calculated under Japanese accounting standards, reflect the broader pressure currently weighing on the company’s bottom line despite consistent sales volume.
