The main driver was the expanding demand for testers for high-performance semiconductors related to AI, supported by strengthened product supply capacity that met strong customer capital investment. By segment, the Test Systems Business posted net sales of JPY 723.1 billion (51.1% YoY increase) and segment profit of JPY 357.7 billion (103.2% YoY increase), performing strongly. The Services and Others segment also reported increased sales of JPY 77.5 billion (12.8% YoY increase) and segment profit of JPY 4.8 billion (921.7% YoY increase).\n\n### Financial Position and Future Outlook\nAt the end of the third quarter, total assets rose by JPY 166.3 billion from the previous fiscal year-end to JPY 1.0205 trillion, and the equity ratio attributable to owners of the parent increased to 66.1%.
