Earnings Presentation Materials for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In Q1 of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue fell 5.2% year on year and operating profit turned from the prior year's profit to an operating loss of ¥983 million, due to lower domestic revenue following the discontinuation of Abbott products and higher SG&A expenses. Overseas revenue increased 1% excluding foreign exchange effects, while the full-year forecast was left unchanged from the initial plan.
