Strengthening Development and Order-Taking Activities in the Land-Based Business

「みづほ工業㈱ began selling 2 new test models, “PVQ-N (Next)” and “LR-P2,” developed as new products in fiscal 2024 to expand its vacuum emulsifying mixer business. In conjunction with these sales, it held multiple stirring-technology seminars for customers to increase points of contact, and in January 2026 it exhibited at the Cosmetics Development Exhibition for the first time as みづほ工業㈱, actively working to raise product awareness.」

「Orders received and the order backlog increased substantially year on year, as the leisure segment received multiple large orders for amusement equipment at theme parks, while the construction segment steadily accumulated orders for the manufacture and maintenance of mechanical parking systems, the manufacture of motor control panels, distribution boards and switchboards for large-scale facilities, and the design and installation of air-conditioning, plumbing, water-supply and sanitary equipment.」

「Orders received 5,110 4,551 △559 △10.9 Order backlog 9,436 9,748 312 3.3 Sales increased as the manufacture and maintenance of mechanical parking systems, the manufacture of construction elevators, and the manufacture and sale of motor control panels, distribution boards and switchboards performed strongly. Operating income also increased in line with the rise in sales.」

「Orders received 13,061 16,473 3,411 26.1 Order backlog 12,695 17,165 4,470 35.2 The construction segment remained strong, reflecting continued robust construction demand, while the leisure segment secured large orders. As a result, both orders received and the order backlog increased substantially.」

「Orders received 8,447 10,767 2,320 27.5 Order backlog 12,426 17,527 5,100 41.0 Both orders received and the order backlog increased substantially, reflecting continued strong construction demand in the construction segment and the acquisition of large orders in the leisure segment.」

「Orders received 4,239 5,666 1,427 33.7 Order backlog 11,854 16,100 4,245 35.8 Orders in the leisure segment were generally firm, including the acquisition of large orders, and both orders received and the order backlog increased substantially.」

「Orders received 8,153 8,447 294 3.6 Order backlog 8,668 12,426 3,757 43.4」

「Orders received decreased year on year because a large order was received in the leisure segment in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, but the Group steadily accumulated orders and the order backlog increased substantially.」

「In the industrial segment, the impact of COVID-19 since the previous year is gradually easing, and the operating companies have resumed inquiries and business negotiations, while each plant has increased its operating rate. Orders for cosmetics manufacturing equipment, which got off to a slow start at the beginning of the period, progressed, and orders for food-industry tanks resumed. Together with drive shafts, these resulted in higher orders than in the same quarter of the previous year, while shot-blasting orders were below the same quarter of the previous year. In terms of sales, the plants for cosmetics manufacturing equipment, drive shafts and precision machining for semiconductor-related companies continued to operate at full capacity following the first quarter, resulting in segment sales exceeding those of the same quarter of the previous year. As a result, sales for the cumulative second quarter of the current fiscal year were ¥4,283 million, an increase of ¥191 million year on year, and operating income was ¥347 million, an increase of ¥242 million year on year.」

「In the industrial segment, the impact of COVID-19 since 2020 is gradually easing, and the operating companies have resumed inquiries and business negotiations, while each plant has increased its operating rate. In terms of orders, discussions and orders for food tanks that had been postponed during the pandemic resumed, and orders for drive shafts and shot-blasting equipment were at roughly the same level as in the same quarter of the previous year, while orders for cosmetics manufacturing equipment remained high but were below the same quarter of the previous year. In terms of sales, precision machining for semiconductor-related applications grew particularly strongly, while the cosmetics manufacturing equipment plants also returned to full operation and sales substantially exceeded those of the same quarter of the previous year. As a result, sales for the cumulative first quarter of the current fiscal year were ¥2,029 million, an increase of ¥206 million year on year, and operating income was ¥153 million, an increase of ¥128 million year on year. Orders received were ¥1,865 million, a decrease of ¥360 million year on year, and the order backlog was ¥3,096 million, a decrease of ¥1,979 million year on year.」

「In the M&T business, strong sales of precision machining for the semiconductor and electronics industries and additional sales from the switchboard manufacturing business acquired in January 2020 contributed to results. However, the Group's performance was forced into a major retreat by the impact of the COVID-19 state of emergency and overseas travel restrictions on domestic leisure operations, the downturn in overseas leisure operations that led to a business transfer, and weak shot-blasting sales and plumbing and plant operations following a sharp decline in customers' willingness to invest. As a result, sales decreased by ¥2,922 million, or 13.5%, year on year to ¥18,713 million, and the operating result was an operating loss of ¥15 million, compared with operating income of ¥1,512 million in the previous fiscal year.」

「The machining business remained firm, supported by continued strength in precision machining for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and a recovery in components for specialty vehicles. 美之賀機械 also remained strong after securing a large order. However, sales declined in shot-blasting machine sales and services, sales of cosmetics manufacturing equipment, and air-conditioning, plumbing and water-supply construction, resulting in generally weak performance.」

「The M&T business continues to be heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although precision machining for semiconductor manufacturing equipment remained strong, sales fell sharply in repair work for mechanical parking systems, sales of shot-blasting machines, air-conditioning and plumbing work, and rentals of construction elevators, resulting in broad-based weakness.」

「In the M&T business, sales of cosmetics manufacturing equipment, which was relatively little affected by COVID-19, remained solid, while precision machining for semiconductor manufacturing equipment recovered and reached full operating capacity. Other businesses generally stagnated due to the impact of COVID-19. In particular, the impact on operations and management services for amusement parks in Japan and overseas, which were forced to close due to the declaration of a state of emergency and restrictions on overseas travel, was significant, resulting in substantial declines in both net sales and profit for the group as a whole. As a result, the order backlog reached ¥8,773 million. Net sales decreased by ¥400 million, or 10.3%, year on year to ¥3,479 million, and the company recorded an operating loss of ¥440 million, compared with operating income of ¥212 million in the same period of the previous year.」

「In the M&T business, location-based amusement park operations in Japan drove net sales and profit as attendance increased due to growth in inbound tourism and favorable weather. Sales of construction elevators also increased against a backdrop of strong construction activity centered on the Tokyo metropolitan area. The cosmetics market has continued to expand year after year, and sales of vacuum emulsifying machines and agitators for manufacturing cosmetics and other products remained strong. As a result, the order backlog reached ¥7,810 million. Net sales increased by ¥165 million, or 1.2%, year on year to ¥14,258 million, while operating income increased by ¥134 million, or 15.2%, to ¥1,017 million.」
