Notice Regarding Differences Between Forecasts and Actual Results for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Differences in Performance and Causes

This notice discloses the differences between forecasts and actual results for the consolidated interim accounting period of the fiscal year ending March 2027. The core precision equipment segment performed strongly, while other businesses fell short of plan, resulting in consolidated net sales remaining close to forecasts. Consolidated operating income increased versus forecast as rising raw material costs were offset by controlled selling, general and administrative expenses. Ordinary income increased due to reductions in foreign exchange losses and other lower expenses. Interim net income attributable to owners of parent increased owing to deferred expense recognition related to factory relocation and reduced tax burdens. Individual segment indicators showed similar improvements for the same reasons.

Outlook and Impact Going Forward

Regarding the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, the Company will, after appropriately and rationally calculating adjustments based on the causes of the differences, disclose any revisions. No new full-year outlook has been announced at this time. Exchange rate effects, raw material cost trends, and recovery status of related businesses will be key factors affecting future performance.
