Overview of Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, net sales increased due to the pass-through of higher material costs into selling prices and the effect of yen depreciation. Operating profit also increased, owing to the timing difference in reflecting material costs and cost improvements. However, higher fixed costs resulting from the situation in the Middle East and capital investment for the medium-term plan weighed on profit.

The reasons the company gives

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

Net sales increased due to the pass-through of higher material costs into selling prices and the effect of yen depreciation. While worsening conditions in the Middle East and higher fixed costs from capital investment were factors reducing operating profit, the spillover effect of the timing difference in reflecting material costs and cost improvement efforts contributed to higher operating profit.
