Alinco Incorporated Financial Summary for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Overview of Results

Alinco Incorporated's second quarter results show net sales in the 33,000 million yen range, up 4.0% year-over-year. Core construction equipment-related and rental-related businesses remained steady, while ordinary income decreased due to foreign exchange losses. Operating income improved year-over-year as cost increases were absorbed by reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses. Interim net income declined slightly. A share buyback during the interim period is noted, but there is no revision to the dividend forecast in the financial summary. The company continues to evolve its core businesses and restructure its portfolio in line with the Medium-Term Management Plan 2027.

Outlook and Impact

Full-year earnings guidance is left unchanged at this time. External conditions, including foreign exchange effects, remain uncertain, but sales expansion is expected driven by strength in construction equipment and rental segments. The newly established Sales Headquarters will strengthen collaboration among business divisions to achieve the medium-term plan. Progress of the share buyback will also be monitored.
