Q1 FY2027 Summary of Consolidated Financial Results

Performance overview

This quarter's consolidated results show revenue of 1,025 million yen (up year over year), operating profit of 119 million yen, ordinary income of 131 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of 67 million yen. The primary drivers are top-line growth and improvements in cost and expenses. However, margin improvement remains to be achieved versus the previous year. For the full-year ending March 2027, the company forecasts revenue of 3,800 million yen, operating profit of 393 million yen, ordinary income of 410 million yen, and net income of 308 million yen, with expected growth versus the previous year, while noting potential profitability headwinds. The medium-term management plan is under way, with focus on further cost improvements and SG&A containment.

Outlook and capital allocation

The FY2027 forecast shows revenue up about 5% year over year to 3,800 million yen, operating profit up about 22% to 393 million yen, and net income down about 64% to 308 million yen, with dividends expected to continue the current increasing trend. Ongoing monitoring of plan progress is necessary, and the key to earnings growth lies in the revenue mix by segment and cost improvements.
