Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2027 · Second quarter (interim period) and full yearPrevious forecast published 29 July 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
During the interim period, actual net sales and each profit measure exceeded forecasts, mainly due to the impact of foreign currency translation, an increase in new orders, and steady progress in improvement and rationalisation initiatives in each region. From the third quarter onward, the Company incorporated a cautious outlook, anticipating the continuation of an uncertain operating environment due to geopolitical risks, including the situation in the Middle East, and economic trends in various countries. Although the forecast for the second half is expected to be slightly below the initial plan, the full-year forecasts were revised upward to reflect the better-than-expected results through the interim period.
