| Unit price and quantity metrics | Revenue, units sold, orders received, order volume, order backlog and order backlog volume for main engines are presented separately for domestic and overseas markets. Main engine sales in the fiscal year ended March 2026 totaled 44 units domestically and 16 units overseas. |
| Number of employees | 302 People |
| Assumptions Underlying the Business Outlook | The projections assume an increase in main engine shipments, an improving trend in main engine contract prices, and higher material and equipment costs resulting from soaring copper prices. The impact of worsening conditions in the Middle East has not been factored in because it is difficult to calculate reasonably. |

Items this document does not state (10)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.For main engines, increased shipments of large engines, improved contract prices for main engines and a decrease in the provision for order loss reserves boosted results. For parts, higher volumes and price revisions in the second half in response to soaring material prices contributed to performance. At the same time, higher personnel expenses resulting from improved compensation, increased depreciation expenses and higher material procurement costs affected results. CMR revenue declined because of weak inquiries from existing customers and production adjustments.
