Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending April 2027 · Second quarter (interim period)Previous forecast published 12 June 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
Against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical risks, efforts to secure stable supplies of personal protective equipment, primarily chemical protective clothing, expanded. Sales of auxiliary materials for white coats used in food factories remained firm, and signs of a recovery in demand emerged for schoolwear. As a result, revenue exceeded the initial assumptions, and profit also exceeded the initial outlook due to the contribution from higher sales. The full-year forecasts were left unchanged on both a consolidated and non-consolidated basis because market trends and the outlook for economic activity are difficult to assess and the impact on demand for personal protective equipment remains uncertain.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical risks, efforts to secure stable supplies of personal protective equipment, primarily chemical protective clothing, expanded in existing markets. Sales of auxiliary materials for white coats used in food factories remained firm, and signs of a recovery in demand emerged for schoolwear. As a result, revenue and operating income and other figures exceeded the initial outlook. The full-year forecast was left unchanged because distribution inventories of protective clothing are believed to have temporarily increased, while market trends from the third quarter onward and the impact on demand for personal protective equipment remain uncertain. No specific reason was provided for the reduction in consolidated interim net income.
