Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 Second Quarter Financial Presentation

Performance Overview

In the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027, orders amounted to 61.5 hundred million yen, net sales were 51.4 hundred million yen (first-half actuals), operating income was 2.7 hundred million yen, and net income was 1.9 hundred million yen, showing healthy performance. The full-year plan indicates net sales of 62.5 hundred million yen, while a revised plan suggests 72.6 hundred million yen, highlighting differences between first-half results and second-half plans. Demand trends by region—Japan, North America, Europe, Greater China and other regions—are disclosed, with increased orders in growth markets expected to contribute to second-half sales growth. Foreign exchange, raw material and SG&A cost factors are also noted.

Outlook and Impact for Investors

In the second half, sales and orders are expected to recover driven by expanding packaging demand in Europe and the US and increased orders in growth markets. In the medium term, continued investment in digital printing and automation is expected to increase the proportion of packaging printing. Attention should be paid to foreign exchange impacts and rising cost factors.
