The specialty vehicles business reported lower revenue and operating income due to a decline in sales of street sweepers.

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.

The firearms business reported higher revenue and operating income due to increased deliveries of rifles and equipment to the Ministry of Defense and the recognition of revenue from a specific initiative contract. The building materials business also reported higher revenue and operating income, supported by increased sales of soundproof sashes and the pass-through of higher costs. Meanwhile, the machine tool-related business saw its operating loss widen due to weaker capital investment demand, lower sales in the Chinese market, deteriorating profitability and inventory valuation losses. The specialty vehicles business reported lower revenue and operating income due to a decline in sales of street sweepers. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company expects the loss of revenue from the specific initiative contract to have an impact, but aims to increase operating income through structural reforms to the earnings structure of the machine tool-related business and improvements in the profitability of each business.
