- Most of the large-scale order received in April consists of inspection light-source equipment for a South Korean customer and was not based on an assumption of sales to the United States. The company is pursuing business discussions and providing technical support to secure recurring orders, and expects orders to expand.
- There has been no significant change in capital investment by domestic customers at this point, but investment is likely to resume and expand over the medium to long term as image sensors become larger and denser and advanced processes are introduced.
- The company will take a positive view of order growth and progress with the 瞳モジュール® (pupil module) when formulating its plan for the next fiscal year, while considering business opportunities and risks and using cautious, realistic assumptions.
- The direct impact of the weaker yen on orders is limited. Although there may be an impact on purchase prices, there are no significant concerns at present, and no major supply-chain problems have emerged.
- At present, most of base revenue of ¥626 million consists of revenue from the 瞳モジュール® (pupil module).
- The primary driver of a recovery in domestic investment is demand to replace equipment as image sensors become larger and higher-performance.
- The VG Strategy Office was divided into product planning and product development to clarify areas of responsibility, enhance specialization, and improve speed.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The inspection light-source equipment for a South Korean customer accounted for most of the large-scale order, while further progress is also expected for the 瞳モジュール® (pupil module). The company explained that the trend toward larger-format and higher-performance image sensors is making it difficult for existing equipment to meet requirements, potentially creating replacement demand for new equipment and supporting a recovery in domestic capital investment.
