Overview of Results

For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, net sales were 3,167 million yen (up 77.5% year-over-year), with operating income of 41 million yen, ordinary income of 51 million yen, and interim net income of 26 million yen, returning to profitability. Increased orders for the automotive parts segment, appropriate price pass-through, and cost reductions contributed to the results. There is no change to the full-year forecast: net sales 6,660 million yen, ordinary income 80 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent 60 million yen are expected. The financial position remains healthy with total assets of 8,457 million yen and an equity ratio of 31.1%.

Segment Trends and Outlook

The automotive parts segment recorded net sales of 3,046 million yen and ordinary income of 59 million yen, recovering substantially from the prior-year decline. Proprietary products achieved sales of 121 million yen driven by increased orders related to bicycle-parking businesses; although ordinary loss was 19 million yen, this segment is showing signs of improvement. Rental real estate provided stable ordinary income of 11 million yen, and other results exclude the impact of the exited electronic equipment business. Going forward, the company will continue to monitor the impact of rising raw material prices while pursuing price pass-through and productivity improvements.
