The step-up was not a one-year fluke. A year earlier, sales were ¥144.9bn and ordinary income ¥53.5bn. Two years earlier, they were ¥100.0bn and ¥28.3bn. Parent profit was ¥41.7bn in the prior year and ¥17.6bn two years earlier, while basic earnings per share reached 45.33 yen in the latest year.

The balance sheet also thickened. Total assets ended the year at ¥234.7bn and net assets at ¥156.0bn, up from ¥202.4bn and ¥107.6bn respectively a year earlier. What the selected source text does not show is the operating bridge: the excerpt gives the headline series, but not the segment or regional mix behind the jump. The big picture is still clear enough, Sanrio is materially larger and more profitable than the business that reported ¥52.8bn of sales and ¥3.3bn of ordinary income in the year to March 2022.
