Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q2 2027 earnings summary12 Nov, 2026
Executive summary
H1 FY27/3 sales fell 33.1% YoY to ¥44,475M; EBITDA and operating losses narrowed materially after structural reforms, including the Mobara Fab production-end and lower personnel costs.
Net assets recovered to ¥4,998M from negative ¥7,412M at FY26/3-end, supported by warrant exercises and asset-sale advances; priorities include strengthening the financial position and BEYOND DISPLAY portfolio transformation.
Financial highlights
H1 sales were ¥44,475M, down ¥22.0B YoY; gross profit was ¥4,329M versus a ¥2,964M gross loss, while SG&A fell to ¥7,396M from ¥11,467M.
H1 EBITDA loss narrowed to ¥1,606M from ¥12,361M; operating loss narrowed to ¥3,066M from ¥14,400M and recurring loss to ¥7,212M from ¥19,100M.
H1 net loss narrowed to ¥7,040M from ¥11,363M; basic EPS improved to -¥1.06 from -¥1.84. Prior-year net results included an ¥18.5B subsidiary-share sale gain and ¥12.7B in restructuring expenses.
Comprehensive loss was ¥7,813M versus ¥10,820M YoY.
Outlook and guidance
FY27/3 earnings guidance remains withheld because the timing and commercialization of BEYOND DISPLAY businesses, including a potential U.S. display business, could materially affect performance; operating profitability is expected in FY28/3.
Mobara Fab sale completion and handover are planned for March 2027, with an anticipated gain of ~¥51.4B.
Positive net assets as of March 31, 2027 are required to maintain Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market listing.
Planned priorities include further warrant exercises and financial measures, Mobara Fab handover, and execution of the BEYOND DISPLAY strategy.
