Second-Quarter Financial Results Presentation for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Revenue and profit increased year on year in the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027, driven by price pass-through and higher sales of memory products. Revenue was broadly in line with the revised plan, while profit fell slightly short due mainly to the earlier-than-planned recognition of R&D expenses.

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased as the adjustment of selling prices to reflect higher procurement costs progressed, sales volumes of memory modules increased, high-capacity and higher-priced products grew, and sales volumes of LED drivers increased. On the profit side, selling, general and administrative expenses increased because some development expenses scheduled for the second half were recognized earlier than planned, in line with strong progress in product development. Operating profit and below fell slightly short of the revised plan.
