The company's diluted earnings per share stood at negative ¥14.98 for the current quarter, reflecting a substantial deterioration from the negative ¥3.88 reported in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. These figures indicate that Demae-Can is experiencing challenges in maintaining profitability amid ongoing economic conditions.

The company projects consolidated sales of ¥44.1 billion, representing an increase of 11.0% over the previous fiscal year. However, despite the anticipated rise in revenues, the company expects a net loss of ¥4.0 billion for the entire fiscal year, which would represent a decline from the previous year's performance.
