Notice of Revision to Earnings Guidance

Overview of the Revision to Earnings Guidance

Riso Kagaku Corporation has revised upward its consolidated full-year earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2027, taking into account performance trends during the current interim consolidated accounting period and the future business environment. Net sales are projected at 84,100 hundred million yen, operating income at 5,600 hundred million yen, ordinary income at 5,600 hundred million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent at 4,500 hundred million yen, each increased from the previous guidance. The main factors include accelerated demand due to price revisions for consumables in the printing equipment business in Japan and the positive impact of a weaker yen on foreign exchange. The assumed exchange rates for the second half are 157 yen per USD and 179 yen per EUR, and the full year is assumed at the same levels.

Outlook and Impact

Going forward, demand trends in the printing equipment business and responses to rising costs are expected to affect profitability. If the assumed weaker yen persists, an upside in profit levels is expected; however, attention should be paid to risks of cost increases driven by rising component prices. The impact on consolidated results from the full acquisition of a wholly owned subsidiary announced on November 5, 2026 is included in this guidance.
