Notice Regarding Differences Between Consolidated Earnings Guidance and Actual Results for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 and Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast

Overview of Performance

NICHIDEN Corporation announced the differences between the consolidated earnings guidance and actual results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 and revised its full-year earnings forecast upward based on the actual results. Strong performance in semiconductor-related industries, steady capital expenditure driven by replacement of existing equipment and measures to address labor shortages contributed positively, and recognition of gains on sales of fixed assets and gains on sales of investment securities also had a positive impact. As a result, full-year net sales and profit items are expected to exceed previous forecasts.

Impact on Shareholders and Outlook

With second-quarter results exceeding forecasts and the full-year forecast revised upward, there is an indication of potential improvement in shareholder value. Going forward, trends in semiconductor-related demand, the continuity of capital investment, and the timing and occurrence of gains on sales of securities may affect performance. Additional specific information will require future disclosures.
