Financial Results Briefing Materials for the Fiscal Year Ended August 2026

For the fiscal year ended August 2026, net sales fell 9.0% year on year due to the postponement of revenue recognition for large projects and also fell short of the plan. The combined impact of R&D expenses, personnel expenses, one-off expenses and an impairment loss on investment securities, among other factors, widened the operating and net losses, and the full-year earnings forecast was revised downward.
