Financial Results Presentation for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue increased due to growth in public infrastructure inspection projects, including sewer inspections, and higher airframe sales. However, the gross profit margin declined as airframe sales accounted for a larger share of revenue, while upfront investments resulted in continued operating and net losses.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due to higher airframe sales accompanying the expansion of public infrastructure inspection projects, including sewer inspections. The gross profit margin declined as airframe sales accounted for a larger share of revenue, but gross profit was maintained at approximately the previous year's level due to revenue growth. The Company recorded a loss as it continued investing in research and development and recruitment to transform its earnings structure.
