Notice Regarding the FY2027 Second-Quarter (Interim-Period) Earnings Briefing and Advance Question Submission

Revenue and profit increased substantially in the interim period of the fiscal year ending March 2027, driven by higher production of electrification components and the benefits of rationalization, and interim-period results exceeded the company's forecast. The full-year forecast was left unchanged due to uncertainty over the outlook, including production cuts by major overseas customers.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Higher production of electrification components in China, an increase in newly ordered vehicle models, rationalization measures, workforce optimization and fixed-cost reductions contributed to higher revenue and profit. In Thailand, revenue and profit declined due to production cuts by major customers. The company cited its expectation of continued growth in the electrification business, while production cuts by major customers, mainly overseas, are expected to continue and the outlook remains uncertain, as the reason for leaving the full-year forecast unchanged.
