Items this document does not state (7)
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 the fiscal year ended February 2026, higher sales of semiconductor-related equipment and parts and repair services contributed to the increase in revenue. The decline in operating income was attributable to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including personnel expenses, research and development expenses and amortization of goodwill. The decline in ordinary income was due to lower foreign exchange gains, while the decline in net income was due to the recording of ¥7,429 million in provision for litigation losses related to litigation in the United States. For the fiscal year ending February 2027, higher orders for semiconductor-related equipment are expected to drive revenue growth.
