- FY2026-H1Profit increased, led by the machining business, despite lower revenueAnnual report
「Although the machinery division secured a certain level of orders, both unit sales and sales value declined compared with the same period of the previous year, when sales were concentrated in the first half. The other divisions performed steadily, but overall sales were slightly below the same period of the previous year. Profit increased year on year as a reasonable level of profit was secured, particularly in the processing division. As a result, sales were ¥1,082.969 million, down 3.7% year on year, and segment profit (operating profit) was ¥99.125 million, up 34.8%.」

「Sales in the machinery division increased year on year due to strengthened sales activities. However, operations at customer factories had yet to fully recover, and the other divisions generally remained weak. While sales increased year on year due to the contribution from the machinery division, profit declined because orders in the processing division, which plays a role in securing profit, remained weak, among other factors. As a result, sales were ¥1,124.438 million, up 32.8% year on year, and segment profit (operating profit) was ¥73.544 million, down 21.8%.」
