Fiscal Year Ending March 2027—Second Quarter (Interim) Financial Summary [Japanese GAAP]

Overview of Results

Net sales for the interim period were 21,552 million yen, a slight increase year-over-year. However, operating income and ordinary income both declined due to higher raw material and logistics costs. Special losses were recorded, including expenses related to withdrawal from the electronic components sector and settlement costs, resulting in a shift to an interim net loss attributable to owners of parent. By segment, profits contracted in certain food-related, materials-related, and electronics-related businesses, while business development-related operations recorded losses. The full-year outlook has been revised, targeting net sales of approximately 44,000 million yen, but challenges remain for profit recovery.

Outlook and Capital Position

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the interim period were 1,157 million yen. While operating activities generated increased net cash inflow, cash outflows continued due to dividend payments and investment activities. As a capital policy, the equity ratio has improved, and the company intends to pursue long-term measures to address capital costs while aiming for future operating recovery. The financial summary also published a "Notice of Revision to Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast," indicating adjustments from initial plans.
