Net sales are forecasted at 235 billion yen (a decrease of 5 billion yen from the previous forecast), operating income at 20 billion yen (a decrease of 4 billion yen), and ordinary income at 22 billion yen (a decrease of 2 billion yen). Meanwhile, net income attributable to owners of parent is maintained at 12.5 billion yen. The primary reasons for the sales decline include restrained or postponed budget execution at domestic universities and public hospitals, and inventory adjustments by AED distributors. Overseas, despite a yen depreciation trend, the decision-making process for transactions in North America has become more cautious, and additional time is required to comply with regulatory requirements in Asia.\n\n### Outlook and Response Measures\nThe company will focus on expanding the consumables and services business and work on securing new medical device and IT system transactions. On the profit front, efforts will be made to control SG&A expense growth; however, operating income is expected to decline due to a decrease in gross profit margin. For foreign exchange assumptions, the company anticipates 154 yen\/USD and 184 yen\/EUR from the fourth quarter onward, with annual rates of 150 yen\/USD and 174 yen\/EUR. All departments will work unitedly to enhance shipments, deliveries, and installations toward the fiscal year-end.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 235,000 million yen (\u25b35,000 million yen (\u25b32.1%) from previous forecast)\nOperating Income: 20,000 million yen (\u25b34,000 million yen (\u25b316.7%) from previous forecast)\nOrdinary Income: 22,000 million yen (\u25b32,000 million yen (\u25b38.3%) from previous forecast)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 12,500 million yen (No change from previous forecast)\nNet Income per Share: 76.98 yen (Increase from previous forecast (76.64 yen \u2192 76.98 yen))","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NihonKohden, #EarningsGuidanceRevision, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 235,000 million yen (2.1% decrease from previous forecast)\nOperating Income: 20,000 million yen (16.7% decrease from previous forecast)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 12,500 million yen (unchanged from previous forecast)","jir_meta_title":"Nihon Kohden Revises Fiscal Year March 2026 Earnings Guidance to Net Sales of 235 Billion Yen with 16.7% Drop in Operating Income","jir_meta_description":"Nihon Kohden Corporation revises its consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
