Presentation on Consolidated Financial Results for the Second Quarter (Interim Period) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Consolidated net sales and operating loss improved in the interim period, driven by higher sales of electronic equipment and a narrower loss. However, interim net loss increased from the same period of the previous year because ¥1.5 billion in core system costs was recognized in a lump sum as an extraordinary loss.

The reasons the company gives

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

Electronic equipment posted higher sales and profit, supported by increased EMS customer requirements, the start of mass production for new industrial radio-control equipment projects, and the launch of new hobby radio-control equipment products. Production equipment posted lower sales and profit due to the suspension of operations at the Korean subsidiary, weak demand in the Korean market, and an inadequate response to price competition. Interim net profit deteriorated because ¥1.5 billion in company-wide core system costs was recognized in a lump sum as an extraordinary loss, despite a ¥400 million gain on the sale of policy-held shares.
