「Domestic sales decreased by ¥2,757 million, or 6.0%, from the previous fiscal year to ¥43,291 million due to the impact of reduced production by customers and other factors, despite progress in passing higher labor and other costs on to selling prices. Segment profit decreased by ¥327 million, or 19.1%, from the previous fiscal year to ¥1,383 million. Although rationalization improved earnings, lower sales, wage increases, revised purchase prices in response to suppliers' requests for price increases, and other negative factors weighed on profit.」
Despite the effects of passing higher costs on to selling prices and rationalization, domestic sales and profit declined due to reduced production by customers, wage increases, revised purchase prices, and other factors, making the decrease in profit more pronounced. - 2026-05-22WorsenedEarnings presentation
