JVCKENWOOD Earnings Presentation Materials for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 (IFRS)

For the fiscal year ending March 2026, consolidated revenue and business profit declined year on year due to the impact of U.S. tariff measures, component shortages for wireless systems, and the closure of U.S. government agencies. Meanwhile, M&T and ES reported higher profits, and the Company expects consolidated revenue and profit to increase in the fiscal year ending March 2027.

The reasons the company gives

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

S&S Wireless Systems experienced lower production and sales due to component shortages, as well as delays in budget execution resulting from the closure of U.S. government agencies. In addition, M&T and ES Media were affected by U.S. tariff measures. M&T reported higher profit due to strong domestic equipment sales, price revisions, and fixed-cost reductions, while ES benefited from strong content sales in its entertainment business.
