Net sales were steady due to increases in semiconductor-related equipment and parts and repair services. On the other hand, operating income declined due to increased expenses related to the subsidiary Nanoverse Inc., and ordinary income was impacted by a reduction in foreign exchange gains. Net income was affected by the provisional recording of a litigation loss provision amounting to 7.4 billion yen related to a U.S. lawsuit jury verdict.

Business and Regional Trends and Future Outlook

Sales of semiconductor-related equipment amounted to 106,345 million yen (3.9% Year-over-Year increase), driven by increased deliveries of transport equipment for advanced semiconductors due to expanding demand for generative AI. Although sales of FPD-related equipment decreased due to a reactionary decline from large-scale investments, sales of automation equipment for Vietnam increased. By region, Taiwan's full-year sales rose to 1.8 times that of the previous year, with increasing trends also in the United States, China, and South Korea. Order received in Q4 reached a record high of 34.0 billion yen, a 48% increase from the previous quarter. For the fiscal year ending February 2027, demand growth for semiconductor-related equipment is expected, with plans to expand production capacity and new development projects.
