Briefing Materials for the First Quarter Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, revenue and operating profit exceeded the prior-year period, driven by higher demand for data center and mobility components and the weaker yen. Revenue reached a record high. The full-year forecast was also revised upward, with revenue increased by ¥150 billion and operating profit by ¥50 billion, mainly due to expanding data center-related demand and changes to the assumed exchange rate.

The reasons the company gives

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

The increase in first-quarter revenue was attributable to growth across a wide range of applications, including data centers, particularly components, and mobility, as well as the impact of the weaker yen. The increase in operating profit reflected higher capacity-utilization gains associated with increased production and the effect of the weaker yen, which exceeded the negative factors of higher fixed costs and lower product prices. The full-year forecast was revised upward mainly due to expanding demand for data center-related components, particularly for AI servers, and a review of the assumed exchange rate.
