Briefing Materials on Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue decreased 19.4% year on year due to lower domestic demand for construction equipment and the impact of withdrawing from the China business. However, profitability improved because no inventory valuation loss was recorded, among other factors, and operating loss, ordinary loss and net loss all narrowed significantly.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue declined because the China business recorded in the year-ago period was no longer included following the withdrawal from the business, in addition to lower domestic demand for construction equipment. On the earnings front, results benefited from the absence of an inventory valuation loss related to flexible sales this fiscal year, an increase in the revenue mix of spare parts, and foreign exchange gains, among other factors.
