Summary of the Business Results (FY2025 from April to March, 2026)
While we initially projected a decrease in profit, both revenue and profit increased year-on-year. Despite continued pressure on margins from higher material costs, including metals, sales remained solid overall. The general industrial segment delivered continued growth and outperformed the full-year forecast. In smartphones and consumer mobile segments, seasonal softness was limited and results came in slightly above expectations. Automotive and mobility-related demand also remained solid. In FY2025, revenue increased 11.5% YoY, operating profit rose 0.8%, and the operating profit ratio reached 20.4%. Cumulative orders totaled 224.98 billion yen, up 16.8% YoY.
