Japan Ski Resort Development lifts sales on record inbound traffic, but operating profit slips
Japan Ski Resort Development lifted nine-month sales 8.9% to ¥9.98 billion as inbound visitors hit a record 543,000, up 23.3%, and winter visits across eight ski areas held near last season's record at 1.88 million. Operating profit still fell 4.5% to ¥2.72 billion, while net profit was helped by a land sale at Iwatake, so the company kept its full-year outlook unchanged. Good slopes, less clean operating leverage.
