Operating profit fell to 2.1 billion yen, down from 51.5 billion yen in the same quarter last year.
The average analyst forecast for the second quarter of the current fiscal year was 49.3 billion yen, according to Bloomberg.
However, net income rose more than expected to 3.1 trillion yen, up from 2.9 trillion.
