Financial Results Presentation for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 (April 2025 to March 2026)

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue and profit declined due in part to the reaction to the concentration of DRAM equipment sales to local Chinese customers in the previous fiscal year, but results exceeded the revised full-year forecasts. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue and profit are expected to increase, supported by aggressive investment by semiconductor manufacturers.

The reasons the company gives

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

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, the factors behind the declines in revenue and profit were the normalization of equipment sales for DRAM applications to local Chinese customers, which had been concentrated in the previous fiscal year, lower production utilization, changes in the product mix, and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company cites aggressive capital investment by device manufacturers and its technological advantage in equipment for advanced devices as the drivers of higher revenue and profit.
