Notice Regarding Differences Between Consolidated Earnings Forecast and Actual Results for the Second Quarter (Interim) and Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast

Overview of Performance

Saison Technology Co., Ltd. announced differences between the consolidated earnings forecast and actual results for the second quarter (interim) of the fiscal year ending March 2027, and revised its full-year forecast. Revenue exceeded the previous forecast, and operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent for the interim period substantially beat prior expectations. The increase was driven particularly by higher sales from AI-related security projects in the system contracting business. Profit improvement was influenced by a reduction in allowance amounts due to reversal and re-estimation of provisions for order losses. Full-year revenue remains unchanged, while profits are expected to be higher. The dividend forecast remains unchanged.

Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

Although full-year revenue is maintained, profit forecasts have been revised upward, and there is currently no change to the shareholder return policy as indicated by the unchanged dividend forecast. The key focus going forward will be whether the increase in AI-related security projects and the effects of order reversals continue. Depending on market conditions and customer project progress, there is potential for further upside.
