Summary of Q&AFiscal year ending March 2026, full year11 items taken from the company’s own explanation
What the company explained in this material
Key points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
- Impact of the situation in the Middle East on the P&L and balance sheet: the company has not factored the impact into its earnings forecast at this time and does not anticipate procurement disruptions or increased inventory.
- Fiscal 2030 market capitalization target: a minimum target based on the need to maintain stable compliance with listing criteria and the new TOPIX criteria, while pursuing initiatives such as improving ROE.
- Multifunction radiators: approximately 2.2 million units and sales of approximately ¥10 billion are expected in 2030.
- New businesses: data centers, humanoid robotics and space-related businesses are expected to contribute to earnings in approximately 5–10 years.
- Raw material response: the company does not procure aluminum materials from the Middle East and is considering alternative materials for some oil products.
- Asia operations: the decline in sales is due to lower sales to group companies, while the increase in profit is attributable to product mix, improved productivity and cost reductions.
Breakdown of Factors Affecting the ChangeReasons cited by the Company for the change in the figures.
Factors behind the increase in operating profit in Asia: a higher mix of high-margin products, such as EGR coolers, improved productivity and cost-reduction initiatives
Assumptions Underlying the Business OutlookThe assumptions used by the company in preparing its forecast.
The impact of the situation in the Middle East on the prices of materials such as aluminum, copper and resins has not been factored into the fiscal 2026 earnings forecast. Numerical assumptions: Not disclosedNew initiatives
- Plans to increase production of heat sinks for data centers and heat exchangers for emergency generators
- Considering applications of cooling technology for humanoid robots
- Initial discussions with business partners in the space sector
- Promoting the introduction of green aluminum
- Considering resource recycling, including the reuse of aluminum and other materials for different applications
- Strengthening the order intake and supply structure for multifunction radiators
Key KPIsA metric the company considers important as a management benchmark.
- Multifunction radiator market potential600 10,000 units
- Multifunction radiator 2030 order intake and production target220 10,000 units
- Multifunction radiator 2030 sales scale¥100 100 million
- Share of the radiator business20 Approximately %
- Middle East share of aluminum material supply9 Approximately %
- Expected timing of earnings contribution from new businesses5～10
Unit price and quantity metricsThese figures show sales broken down by price and volume.
For multifunction radiators, the company presented a target of approximately 2.2 million units in production and sales of approximately ¥10 billion in 2030. It explained that although aluminum consumption for heat exchangers will increase as unit volumes rise, miniaturization and thinner walls mean that consumption will not increase in direct proportion to the number of units.Segment results
Asia: Sales are expected to decline, while operating profit is expected to increase. Amounts and year-on-year changes: Not disclosedMedium-term management plan targets
For fiscal 2030, the company targets a market capitalization of ¥100 billion, multifunction radiator production of approximately 2.2 million units, sales of approximately ¥10 billion and multifunction radiators accounting for approximately 20% of the radiator business.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The impact of the situation in the Middle East on material prices and procurement is difficult to forecast at present, and the company has a framework for passing through changes in material prices, so it has not factored these effects into its earnings forecast. As product adoption of multifunction radiators takes time, the company expects to expand the business in stages. It explained that higher profits in Asia will result from a higher mix of high-margin products, improved productivity and cost-reduction initiatives.
