Materials for the Second-Quarter Financial Results Briefing for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first half, orders received and sales increased, while additional costs were incurred on an electronic equipment project in the United States, resulting in a substantial decline in business profit. Accordingly, the full-year forecasts for business profit, operating profit, profit before tax and net profit were revised downward.
