Financial Results Briefing for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending October 2026 (IR Materials)

For the nine months ended July 2026, revenue increased substantially due to the newly consolidated results of ハイレックスアクト and higher yen-denominated translated amounts resulting from the weaker yen, while operating income also increased. Net income, however, was boosted substantially by gains on the sale of strategic shareholdings and a gain on negative goodwill, while performance deteriorated in some regions, including South Korea, where orders were lost, and China, where sales were sluggish.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased primarily due to a ¥78.4 billion increase from the newly consolidated results of ハイレックスアクト and higher yen-denominated translated amounts resulting from the weaker yen. In addition to higher operating income from the newly consolidated results of アクト, improved profitability in the United States, Europe and Japan offset declines caused by sluggish sales in China, lost orders in South Korea and a higher labor cost ratio in Mexico. Net income was affected by gains on the sale of investment securities and a gain on negative goodwill.
