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

In the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue edged up on the weaker yen, price pass-through and growth in new businesses and aftermarket products, while operating profit and net income declined due to the impact of higher R&D expenses and unrealized inventory gains. The full-year forecast and annual dividend of ¥350 remain unchanged, and the company is currently conducting a ¥8 billion share buyback.

The reasons the company gives

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

Although orders for the China automatic transmission business declined as sales of gasoline-powered vehicles made in China fell, revenue edged up on the weaker yen, the pass-through of higher selling prices for core business products to customers, and increased sales of new business products and aftermarket products. Operating profit declined due to higher R&D expenses related to the creation of new businesses, an increase in unrealized gains from inventory accumulation associated with expanding aftermarket product sales through overseas distributors, and the impact of lower orders and fluctuations in purchase prices. In addition to the decline in operating profit, net income was affected by equity-method losses related to growth investments.
