Reason for the revision

Revenue exceeded the forecast due to the response to demand from data centers and semiconductor-related equipment, mainly for linear motion equipment. Profit forecasts were reduced due to higher manufacturing costs resulting from the inability to maintain planned production, delays in the production and sales plans caused by longer procurement lead times for certain components, and the interim-period earnings performance. The dividend forecast was reduced in line with the revision to the full-year earnings forecast.

Previous-period resultsInterim: revenue ¥846 million, operating loss ¥142 million, ordinary loss ¥176 million, interim net loss attributable to owners of the parent ¥219 million, interim net loss per share ¥35.26.

The reasons the company gives

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

Interim-period revenue exceeded the forecast, mainly because the company responded to demand for data centers and semiconductor-related equipment, particularly for linear motion equipment. Profit fell below forecast because manufacturing costs rose as production could not be planned in line with market conditions in the current and prior periods, while procurement lead times for certain components became longer than expected, delaying the production and sales plans. The full-year profit forecasts were reduced due to the interim-period earnings performance, and the dividend forecast was reduced in line with the revision to the full-year earnings forecast.
