Overview of Results for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue rose 9.6% year on year and operating profit rose 120.0%, reflecting the pass-through of higher material prices and the weaker yen. However, actual revenue declined due to the slowdown in the Chinese market and fixed costs increased, while the full-year forecasts for operating profit, ordinary profit and net profit, among others, were revised upward.

The reasons the company gives

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

In the first half, the pass-through of soaring material costs into selling prices, the positive effect of the weaker yen, the carryover effect of the timing difference in reflecting material costs in prices, and cost improvements contributed to higher profit. On the other hand, lower revenue due to the slowdown in the Chinese market, higher fixed costs and rationalization-related price reductions contributed to lower profit. The upward revision to the full-year forecasts reflects efforts to revise selling prices, foreign exchange effects, lower costs from optimizing fixed costs, the expected proceeds from the sale of a sales office, and a reduction in the deduction for non-controlling interests due to the deterioration in the earnings outlook for the Chinese subsidiary.
