For the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue and operating profit fell below both the previous fiscal year and budget, while net income also declined due in part to extraordinary losses.

The reasons the company gives

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

Sales to the communications equipment and industrial equipment sectors remained solid, but sales to the transportation equipment sector were weak. Overseas sales also declined in the United States, Switzerland and China. Net income was affected by extraordinary losses of ¥647 million and other factors. The forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 was not disclosed because the high level of uncertainty, including the impact of heightened tensions in the Middle East on crude oil and naphtha procurement conditions, made it difficult to prepare a reasonable forecast.
