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

Summary of Performance

According to the non-consolidated financial summary for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, net sales were 6,527 million yen, up 8.8% year-over-year. Ordinary income was 567 million yen and interim net income was 354 million yen, recording substantial profit growth. Demand related to AI in foundry materials, along with price revisions and increased production, contributed to higher shipments and drove the revenue and profit increase. Conversely, sales in the engineering segment declined due to delays in construction progress, but the overall impact on the full year is expected to be limited. A special loss of 34 million yen was recorded due to a warehouse fire.

Financial Position and Outlook

Total assets stood at 21,693 million yen, the equity ratio was 55.1%, and net assets were 11,963 million yen, indicating a stable financial position. Shareholders' equity at the end of the interim period was 11,963 million yen, and financial soundness remains relatively healthy. Full-year earnings forecasts are maintained at net sales 14,500 million yen, ordinary income 730 million yen, net income 480 million yen, and earnings per share 99.56 yen (full-year basis), unchanged from the projections announced on July 29. Attention should be paid to potential needs for recovery and capital investment going forward.
