Differences in Results and Background
In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, net sales were largely in line with plan. Despite cost pressures such as rising raw material prices, appropriate price pass-through and productivity improvements led to operating income, ordinary income, and interim net income exceeding previously disclosed figures. While the automotive parts segment had an impact, optimization of personnel allocation and logistics cost efficiencies contributed positively. There are no changes to the full-year earnings forecast or dividend forecast.
Impact for Investors and Outlook
Sales were as planned and profit drivers exceeded expectations, indicating expected improvement in current-period profitability. Although exchange rate information is provided, there is no change to the full-year forecast; therefore, medium- to long-term performance will likely be influenced by movements in raw material prices and ongoing price pass-through. Future disclosures will be watched for any revisions to the full-year forecast.
