However, costs for new projects in the Mold System led to operating losses. Overall, ordinary income and quarterly net loss were recorded. By segment, Driver System achieved substantial profitability, while Mold System remained negative; Machinery & Measurement Systems saw losses narrow. The full-year forecast initially published in May 2026 remains unchanged. The impact of gains on sale of investment securities is expected from the second quarter onward.\n\n### Outlook and capital position\nThe financial condition improved with higher total assets driven by increases in current assets and liabilities, maintaining capital structure. Orders for Driver System remained strong, suggesting the possibility that the full-year results may surpass initial forecasts. However, uncertainties surrounding new Mold System projects and potential downward revisions to production plans by major customers are expected to continue. Gains on sale of investment securities are expected to be recognized in the 2Q, with ongoing efforts to strengthen the financial health.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net sales: 4,632\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY +29.3%)\nOperating income: -65\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY \u25b3126\u767e\u4e07\u5186)\nOrdinary income: -108\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY \u25b3114\u767e\u4e07\u5186)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent (quarter): -10\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY \u25b3161\u767e\u4e07\u5186)\nTotal assets: 31,366\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY +2,163\u767e\u4e07\u5186)\nNet assets: 12,225\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY +598\u767e\u4e07\u5186)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KurodaSeiko, #FinancialResults, #DriverSystem, #MoldSystem, #MachineryAndMeasurement","jir_key_figures":"Net sales: 4,632\u767e\u4e07\u5186\nOperating loss: \u25b365\u767e\u4e07\u5186\nNet loss to owners of parent (quarter): \u25b310\u767e\u4e07\u5186","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Kuroda Seiko Co., Ltd.\u3011FY2027 Q1 Financial Summary\uff5cDriver System Strong, New Project Costs Lead to Losses","jir_meta_description":"Kuroda Seiko FY2027 Q1 financial summary.
