Notice Regarding Revision of Consolidated Earnings Forecasts for the Second Quarter (Interim) and Full Year for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 and Revision of Year-end Dividend Forecast

Summary of Revisions to Earnings Forecasts

The consolidated earnings forecasts for the second quarter (interim) of the fiscal year ending March 2027 have been revised upward. Net sales have been raised to 126,000 million yen, operating income to 11,000 million yen, ordinary income to 11,500 million yen, interim net income attributable to owners of parent to 7,300 million yen, and interim net income per share to 61.84 yen. For the full year, net sales are forecast at 300,000 million yen, operating income at 30,000 million yen, ordinary income at 30,500 million yen, net income attributable to owners of parent at 20,000 million yen, and net income per share at 169.42 yen. The upward revisions are attributed to semiconductor-related capital expenditure and production automation investments exceeding initial assumptions, and a substantial increase in orders for battery storage systems accompanying expanded adoption of renewable energy. Metrics adjusted to reflect a stock split are also presented.

Revision of Year-end Dividend

The annual dividend remains unchanged from the previous forecast at 105 yen, with the year-end dividend revised to 30 yen, making a total of 150 yen (pre-stock-split equivalent). The dividend policy is to maintain a payout ratio of 30% or more, and reflecting the upward revisions, the year-end dividend has been increased. Comparative dividend figures after implementation of the stock split are also provided.
