  1. FY2026-H1Asia revenue declined as firm orders in Vietnam contrasted with weakness in Thailand and ChinaAnnual report

    「During the interim period, the shift of apparel production for Japan from China to other Asian countries, including Vietnam, continued.

In addition, the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange translation rates resulted in segment revenue of ¥524 million, down 14.7% from the previous interim consolidated accounting period.」
