Overview of Performance
For the cumulative third quarter of FY2026, net sales increased 3.5% YoY to 164.013 billion yen. Domestic net sales decreased 0.9% due to cautious capital investment mainly by public hospitals, while overseas net sales showed strong performance in North America, Europe, and Asia, increasing 11.3%. Operating income declined 16.5% to 9.134 billion yen, impacted by increased selling, general and administrative expenses due to wage rises and R&D investments. Net income decreased 21.2% due to a special loss of 2.4 billion yen related to early retirement benefits.
Full-Year Outlook and Future Initiatives
The full-year net sales forecast has been revised downward by 5 billion yen to 235 billion yen. Domestically, focus will be on consumables, service businesses, and IT system negotiations to secure sales at the same level as the previous year in Q4. Overseas sales forecast in yen terms remains unchanged from the previous forecast but is expected to fall short in real terms in North America and Asia. Operating income forecast is revised downward by 4 billion yen to 20 billion yen, reflecting a decline in gross profit margin and sales. In Q4, efforts will focus on sales of in-house products to maintain a gross profit margin in the 52% range and control SG&A expenses.
