  4. FY2026-H1Product business: higher revenue but lower profit; contract business: lower revenue and widening lossAnnual report

    「Product business Revenue was ¥5,284 million, up 9.3% year on year. Sales of high-tech-related optical fiber and hard disk products remained firm, supported by continued strength in the data networking field. However, the decline in the contract business increased the allocation of common fixed costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses also increased, resulting in segment profit of ¥420 million, down 46.0% year on year. • Contract business Revenue was ¥409 million, down 48.6% year on year. Contract polishing processing remained at about the same level as in the same period of the previous year.

    「Product business Revenue was ¥5,210 million, down 14.3% year on year. Sales of general polishing-related products remained stable. Although high-tech-related products showed signs of a gradual recovery, investment in data centers has yet to recover and sales declined mainly in the hard disk-related market, as well as in the semiconductor-related and optical fiber-related markets. As a result, the segment posted a loss of ¥161 million, compared with segment profit of ¥601 million in the same period of the previous year.
