Executive summary
Operating income rose significantly in H1 FY2025, exceeding plan, despite lower orders and net sales due to the FY2024 transfer of Azbil Telstar; excluding this effect, both orders and sales increased substantially.
Net sales for the six months ended September 2025 were ¥132,897 million, down 4.6% year-over-year, mainly due to the exclusion of Azbil Telstar from consolidation.
Operating income rose 21.0% to ¥17,718 million, and net income attributable to owners of parent increased 23.0% to ¥13,463 million, reflecting enhanced profitability and foreign exchange gains.
The full-year FY2025 financial plan was revised upward, projecting a fifth consecutive year of operating income growth, with robust BA and AA business performance and continued investments in human capital.
Dividend is set to increase for the eleventh consecutive year, and share repurchases and cancellations were completed to enhance shareholder returns.
Financial highlights
H1 FY2025 net sales: ¥132.8B (down ¥6.3B YoY, mainly due to subsidiary transfer); operating income: ¥17.7B (up ¥3.0B YoY); net income attributable to owners: ¥13.4B (up ¥2.5B YoY).

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
