Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 Q3 Financial Results Presentation

Overview of Performance

For the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026, net sales amounted to 92.7 billion yen, a 40.3 billion yen decrease from 133 billion yen in the same period last year, representing a 30.3% decline. Operating income sharply declined to 1.8 billion yen from 13.1 billion yen the previous year, pushing the profit margin down to 2.0%. Ordinary income was 2.8 billion yen and quarterly net income attributable to owners of parent was 1.9 billion yen, both showing significant decreases YoY. The main reason for the sales decline was the reduction in EV extrusion molding machines “BSF” in China. Meanwhile, order intake grew 15.6% to 87.5 billion yen from 75.7 billion yen in the previous year, increasing across all segments centered on the favorable machine tool market.

Segment Performance and Future Outlook

Sales in the molding machine segment sharply decreased to 68.6 billion yen (38.3% decrease YoY), whereas the machine tool segment grew to 17.8 billion yen (22.5% increase YoY). Operating income was 1.1 billion yen for molding machines (previous year: 13.5 billion yen) and 1.1 billion yen for machine tools (previous year: 0.1 billion yen), with the machine tool segment’s profit margin improving to 6.7%. The control machinery segment experienced declines in both sales and profit. By region, sales increased in China, India, and North America. Foreign exchange effects were nearly flat. Moving forward, the company will closely monitor the impact of the reduction in EV extrusion molding machines “BSF” while maintaining the strong performance of the machine tool segment to improve profitability.
