Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Demand for testing expanded in the AI semiconductor and North American satellite communications sectors, while demand for testing for EVs and batteries declined in the automotive sector. Revenue remained strong in Japan, North America and Southeast Asia, but intensified competition in the Chinese market, deteriorating profitability in contract testing services and higher SG&A expenses associated with the increase in orders received weighed on profit.
