Supplementary Financial Results Materials for the Second Quarter (Interim Period) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Revenue for the interim period increased 5.1% year on year, while operating profit was largely unchanged and ordinary profit and net income declined. Growth in communications equipment, electronic components, industrial equipment and certain overseas operations contributed to revenue, but higher raw material and energy prices and sluggish automobile production in China and Europe put pressure on profit.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due to the start of mass production of new models for communications equipment, strong sales of products used in electronic component manufacturing processes, and contributions from battery-related products for transportation equipment and products for industrial equipment. Profit was affected by soaring raw material and energy prices, while higher selling prices and increased sales of high-margin products contributed to earnings. Sluggish automobile production in China and Europe also had an impact.
