Executive summary

  • Q1 revenue reached ¥118.4B, up 1.2% year-over-year, marking a record-high for the fifth consecutive Q1 period, driven by growth in Analytical & Measuring Instruments and Aircraft Equipment despite yen appreciation and global uncertainties.

  • Operating income rose 11.2% year-over-year to ¥12.2B, also a record for Q1, while ordinary profit declined 17.3% to ¥11.3B due to lower non-operating income and higher expenses.

  • Profit attributable to owners fell 20.7% year-over-year to ¥7.9B, impacted by foreign exchange losses and higher non-operating expenses.

  • Growth in Analytical & Measuring Instruments (AMI) and Aircraft Equipment (AE) segments offset declines in Medical Systems (MED) and Industrial Machinery (IM).

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

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.
