FY2027-H1: Higher orders, revenue and earnings, and recognition of a business-structure improvement provision

「Orders increased to ¥18,999 million, or 101.1% of the prior-year period, and revenue increased to ¥16,055 million, or 108.7%. In terms of earnings, steady progress in working through the order backlog and appropriate price increases to pass on higher labor and raw-material costs resulted in operating income rising significantly to ¥637 million, or 391.2% of the prior-year period, and ordinary income to ¥751 million, or 287.8%. However, due to the recording of a provision for business-structure improvements to optimize the scale of operations in the Chinese market and restore profitability across the Group, interim net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥285 million, or 27.1% of the prior-year period.」
