This graph contains a bar chart showing trends in net interest-bearing debt, which is total interest-bearing debt minus cash and cash equivalents, and a line chart indicating free cash flows.
At the end of the second quarter, net interest-bearing debt, totaling 191.4 billion yen, was up 104.5 billion yen from what it was at the end of the previous fiscal year. This is mainly due to the expenditure for the purchase of the new Tokyo headquarters building as well as the increase in inventories.
At the end of the fiscal year ending March 2023, the net interest-bearing debt forecast is expected to increase from the end of the previous fiscal year. However, excluding the expenditures for M&A announced recently, the net interest-bearing debt forecast is expected to be at the same level as the end of the previous fiscal year.
