AI要約
Performance Overview
We have revised the consolidated full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2026 to 1,450 million yen in revenue, an operating loss of 185 million yen, ordinary loss of 230 million yen, and a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of 330 million yen, with earnings per share unavailable. This represents a substantial downward revision from the previous forecast, reflecting a deterioration in the earnings outlook. Additionally, an extraordinary loss of 101 million yen is recorded as valuation loss on investment securities.
Outlook and Measures
Taking into account the timing delays of large project revenue recognition (608 million yen related to US subsidiary AsReader, Inc., and 231 million yen domestic projects), valuation losses on investment securities, and expected losses from the closure of the Consolidated Subordinate Automatic Checkout Laboratory, the full-year forecast has been revised downward. On the other hand, the company aims to drive mid- to long-term growth by strengthening RFID-related technologies, pursuing patent acquisitions, developing new RFID tag products, and expanding store-facing security and fraud-prevention solutions. We will actively advance R&D investment and strengthen the business foundation to ensure steady commercialization of US and domestic projects.
