Overview of Consolidated Business Performance
Summary of Consolidated Business Performance for The Third Quarter of The Current Fiscal Year
During the third quarter of the current consolidated fiscal period, the domestic and overseas economies remained unstable due to surging resource prices, geopolitical risks, U.S. trade policies, and monetary policies of major countries.
In the clinical diagnostics industry, the business environment became increasingly severe due to continued measures to cap medical expenses and rising costs such as for logistics and raw material procurement, etc. Corporations are being forced to focus on greater cost competitiveness and to actively expand into overseas markets.
In the context of this business environment, the Group is implementing key measures focused on the three key business fields of "Contribution to cancer prevention and treatment," "Contribution to the eradication and control of infectious diseases," and "Provision of products and services useful for health care," under the slogan "Challenges to Innovation" in accordance with the Medium-term Management Plan established based on the Group's management framework "EIKEN ROAD MAP 2030." The Group is striving to fundamentally transform its business to strengthen its earnings base.
In addition, as a Group with a mission to protect the health of people worldwide, the Group is addressing issues not only in "Medical" but also in the "Environment," "Society," and "Governance." Through this, we strive to further enhance our corporate value and achieve a sustainable society.
Net sales for the third quarter of the current consolidated fiscal period increased to 31,377 million yen (up 2.4% year-on-year) due to strong growth in sales of fecal immunochemical test reagents and medical devices for overseas markets. For net sales by product class and type, sales of microbiological testing reagents were 3,375 million yen (down 2.7% year-on-year), and sales of urinalysis reagents were 3,458 million yen (down 1.4% year-on-year) due to a decrease in sales for overseas markets. Sales of immunological and serological reagents were 18,084 million yen (up 2.6% year-on-year) due to strong growth in sales of fecal immunochemical test reagents for overseas markets. Sales of clinical chemistry reagents were 459 million yen (up 0.9% year-on-year), and sales of the equipment and culture medium for food and environment related category were 1,400 million yen (down 6.1% year-on-year). Sales in other category (medical devices, genetic-related products, etc.) were 4,598 million yen (up 12.3% year-on-year) due to increased sales of fecal immunochemical test equipment for overseas markets and medical devices introduced and sold from Tosoh Corporation. Overseas sales were 8,263 million yen (up 5.0% year-on-year).
Regarding profit, operating profit was 2,779 million yen (up 5.5% year-on-year) due to the increase in sales of fecal immunochemical test reagents for overseas markets. Ordinary profit was 2,739 million yen (down 3.4% year-on-year). However, profit attributable to owners of parent was 3,722 million yen (up 75.8% year-on-year) due to the recording of extraordinary income from the transfer of equity interests in a consolidated subsidiary.

Compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, total assets decreased by 2,162 million yen, liabilities decreased by 2,310 million yen, and net assets increased by 147 million yen.
