Reason for the revision

In the first half, gross profit from large material-handling equipment and multilevel parking system projects in the industrial machinery business exceeded expectations. In the second half, increased sales of hard disk drive-related products and consumables in the semiconductor-related business are expected to contribute to higher profit. In the metal forming business, orders for automotive parts for North America at the Mexican subsidiary are expected to fall below expectations and result in lower profit, but the higher-profit contribution centered on the industrial machinery business is expected to more than offset the impact of the lower profit.

Previous-period resultsFiscal year ending March 2026: revenue ¥58,415 million, operating profit ¥2,688 million, ordinary profit ¥2,545 million, net income ¥3,128 million, net income per share ¥338.25

The reasons the company gives

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

In the first half, gross profit from large material-handling equipment and multilevel parking system projects in the industrial machinery business exceeded expectations. In the second half, increased sales of hard disk drive-related products and consumables in the semiconductor-related business are expected to contribute to higher profit. In the metal forming business, orders for automotive parts for North America at the Mexican subsidiary are expected to fall below expectations and result in lower profit, but the higher-profit contribution centered on the industrial machinery business is expected to more than offset this. The dividend was increased in line with the basic policy of progressively increasing dividends based on net income.
