Summary of Q&AFiscal year ending March 2026, third quarter3 items taken from the company’s own explanation
What the company explained in this material
Key points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
- Reasons revenue exceeded the full-year forecast: increased demand for AI servers and data centers, and the acquisition of new sales channels overseas
- Reason for the downward revision to the operating profit forecast: the autonomous driving bus business in the CPS Solutions business performed below the initial forecast
- Impact of soaring memory prices and supply shortages: indirect effects are possible, but the impact is currently limited because memory accounts for a small proportion of sales
- AI server and data center-related businesses: quarterly revenue fluctuates because of large projects, and margins are lower than the company average. The company plans to expand into adjacent, high-value-added areas
- Cybersecurity business: the company does not view the business as experiencing slowing growth and expects demand to expand over the medium to long term
- Changes in AI and SaaS: the company believes the opportunities for the security business outweigh the risks, and that the risk of a fundamental threat to its business structure is limited
- Expansion of losses in the CPS Solutions business: the transition of autonomous driving buses to regular operations has been delayed. The company aims to reduce losses by strengthening deployments for private-sector companies and in closed environments
New initiatives
- Building a supply chain diversified by region and manufacturer
- Promoting proposals for alternative products whose quality and reliability have been verified
- Providing high-value-added, integrated proposals combining network equipment, middleware and security
- Expanding the solutions business, including consulting and software for data center construction and operations

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue was revised upward due to increased demand for AI servers and data centers and the acquisition of new sales channels in overseas markets. The operating profit forecast was revised downward because the autonomous driving bus business in the CPS Solutions business performed below the initial forecast. In the autonomous driving bus business, the transition from demonstration testing to regular operations was delayed. Accidents involving buses manufactured by other companies and tighter regulations and guidelines concerning Level 4 autonomous driving were cited as the main reasons for the prolonged deployment process.
