• Net sales increased 14.3% to ¥94,644 million, while operating profit declined 12.3% to ¥15,237 million as prior-year high-margin projects rolled off and costs rose.

• FY2027 forecasts were maintained; higher H2 sales and operating profit are expected as project progress and margins improve.

Outlook and guidance

• FY ending March 2027 forecasts remain unchanged: orders ¥300,000 million, sales ¥200,000 million, operating and ordinary profit ¥40,000 million each, and parent-attributable profit ¥30,000 million.

• H2 expectations are orders of ¥128.7 billion, sales of ¥105.3 billion and operating profit of ¥24.7 billion at a 23.5% margin.

• Much of the exceptionally strong order intake is expected to generate sales from next FY onward; elevated orders reflect overseas electronics investment, expanded U.S. project scope and some orders brought forward.

• Full-year operating margin is planned at 20.0%, versus 21.2% in FY ended March 2026.
