Fiscal Year Ending March 2027, First Quarter Financial Summary (Japanese GAAP) (Consolidated)

Overview of Results

Our group expanded quarterly cumulative net sales to over 14.2 billion yen, primarily driven by the plant business, while aiming to improve profitability amid increases in materials costs and personnel expenses. Operating income was about 529 million yen, ordinary income about 481 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent around 260 million yen, shifting from a loss in the prior year to a profit. Total assets are around 50.2 billion yen, and the equity ratio is about 42.7%, remaining stable. The full-year forecast remains unchanged for now, with vigilance required regarding future supply and demand dynamics.

Outlook and Investor Impact

Against a backdrop of semiconductor-related and decarbonization-related investments, the market environment remains solid, though rising labor and material costs pose ongoing concerns. We will continue to pursue value-added and productivity improvements as the fifth mid-term management plan reaches its final year. While the full-year earnings outlook is unchanged, we aim for stable earnings growth through improving each business’s profitability and cost containment.
