Selection

Miyahara was listed as President in the annual securities report for the fiscal year ended March 2012, so this was a change from a predecessor who had served more than nine years. In the fiscal year ended March 2021, the year before he took office, consolidated net sales were ¥583.6 billion and operating profit ¥28.9 billion, up from ¥25.4 billion the previous year. The change was not prompted by a downturn in results.

Consolidated operating profit, ¥28.9 billion in FY ended March 2021, fell to ¥23.9 billion in FY ended March 2023. It then rose for three straight years to ¥34.5 billion in FY ended March 2026, the highest during his tenure.
