Supplementary Information on Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue increased on strong sales of new products and in Europe, as well as favorable foreign exchange movements. Gross profit improved and the effects of structural reforms led operating income and ordinary income to turn profitable. However, the bottom line remained in the red due to the recognition of an expected VAT assessment as an extraordinary loss.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased on strong sales of new products, particularly the Studio series, strong European sales and the stronger euro, and signs of recovery in North America. Operating income turned profitable due to improved gross profit and the effects of structural reforms, including fixed-cost reductions and expense controls. An expected ¥120 million VAT assessment for prior fiscal years arising from a tax audit of a European subsidiary was recognized as an extraordinary loss, resulting in a quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥30 million.
