Financial Summary for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year ending December 2026 (Japanese GAAP, Consolidated)

Performance Summary

For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, the company achieved a slight increase in net sales to 156,773 million yen (up 2.0% YoY). However, operating income dropped significantly to 4,454 million yen (down 25.4% YoY), ordinary income to 4,834 million yen (down 20.7%), and net income attributable to owners of the parent to 4,003 million yen (down 9.6%), due to higher raw material costs and lagging price pass-through. By segment, die-casting posted higher revenue but lower profit due to raw material costs; housing equipment and printing equipment both declined in sales and profit.

Outlook and Dividends

The full-year outlook for the fiscal year ending December 2026 has been revised upward: expected net sales of 340,000 million yen, operating income of 13,000 million yen, ordinary income of 14,000 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of 12,000 million yen. The second-quarter-end dividend forecast was raised from 52 yen to 54.00 yen, with the full-year total dividend projected at 106.00 yen. This indicates stronger shareholder returns.
