Fureasu returned to ordinary and net profitability in the year to March 2026, a sharp reversal from the prior year even though sales growth was modest. The company reported sales of ¥7.64bn, up from ¥7.58bn, ordinary income of ¥338.0mn after an ordinary loss of ¥165.6mn, and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥508.9mn after a ¥244.5mn loss.

The balance sheet gives the rebound a bit more weight than a one-line profit swing might suggest. Net assets stood at ¥2.18bn at the end of March, leaving the group with a solid equity buffer as it heads into the new year. The filing also records basic earnings per share of 196.21 yen.

There was also a small shareholder payout to show for it. At a June 26 annual meeting, shareholders approved a dividend of ¥10.57 a share, or ¥27.6mn in total, effective June 29.

What remains unclear is the why. The extracted annual-report text gives the headline numbers, not a management bridge from slightly higher sales to much stronger profit. In a separate internal control report published the same day, management said financial-reporting controls were effective as of March 31. For readers skimming a routine filing, the practical takeaway is simple: the comeback is clear in the numbers, but the extract does not yet say how repeatable it is.
