Explanation of operating results
During the nine months ended December 31, 2025 (from April 2025 to December 2025), the global economy saw accelerated growth supported by growth in AI-related investment and personal consumption, despite in the United States upward pressure on prices arising from tariffs and signs of weakening employment. In Europe, although the manufacturing sector showed signs of deceleration, domestic demand was underpinned by fiscal expansion. In China, the economy continued to slow due to weak domestic demand against the backdrop of a stagnant real estate market. In Japan, although exports showed sluggishness, personal consumption recovered moderately due to continued wage increases and stabilization in price trends.
In the electronics components industry to which the Group belongs, demand for automotive electronic components remained firm in the automotive-related market due to the global progress of electrification and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In the mobile communications-related market, although the Chinese market experienced a slowdown, other regions saw steady growth and the market showed moderate overall expansion.
Under these circumstances, although sales for the mobile communications-related business decreased, the Group recorded overall sales growth due to a significant increase in sales for the amusement-related business and an increase in sales for the automotive-related business.
With respect to profits, in addition to the substantial increase in sales for the amusement-related business, foreign exchange gains amounted to 3,421 million yen for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared with foreign exchange gains of 262 million yen recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. As a result, ordinary profit significantly exceeded the same period of the previous year.
As a result, during the period under review, the Group posted consolidated net sales of 375,018 million yen (up 108.6% year on year), operating profit of 16,749 million yen (up 53.6% year on year), and ordinary profit of 21,069 million yen (up 74.3% year on year), including foreign exchange gains of 3,421 million yen resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Profit attributable to owners of parent was 14,230 million yen (up 67.5% year on year).
The net sales and segment profit for each reportable segment were as follows:
For the electro-mechanical components segment, although sales for the mobile communications-related business decreased, sales increased for both the amusement-related and automotive-related businesses. As a result, net sales were 348,757 million yen (up 128.4% year on year), and segment profit was 14,622 million yen (up 74.5% year on year).
For the acoustic components segment, net sales were 14,817 million yen (down 7.0% year on year) due to a decrease in sales for the automotive-related business, and segment profit was 1,381 million yen (down 16.8% year on year).
For the applied equipment and other segment, although sales for the healthcare equipment-related business decreased, sales for the amusement-related business increased. As a result, net sales were 11,443 million yen (up 2.5% year on year), while segment profit amounted to 744 million yen (down 14.0% year on year).
Notes: Due to a partial change in the performance management classifications of the Company's group, starting from the first quarter of the consolidated accounting period, the reporting segments of the Company's group now include the previously separate "the display components" under "the applied equipment and other". The Company revised the segment classification of some product in line with this change. Furthermore, the segment information for the previous second quarter consolidated cumulative period has been presented based on the revised classification method.
Explanation of financial position Assets, liabilities, and net assets
At the end of the third quarter, total assets increased 17,631 million yen from the end of the fiscal year to 217,911 million yen mainly due to increases in cash and deposits, trade receivables, and securities, despite a decrease in inventories. Total liabilities increased by 11,501 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 71,464 million yen, primarily due to increases in trade payables and income taxes payable.
Net assets increased by 6,129 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 146,447 million yen, mainly due to increases in treasury shares and retained earnings, resulting in an equity-to-asset ratio of 67.2%.
Cash flows
At the end of the third quarter, cash and cash equivalents increased by 9,389 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 56,158 million yen.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was 22,052 million yen. This was mainly due to profit before income taxes of 20,276 million yen, an increase in trade receivables of 19,153 million yen, a decrease in inventories of 12,278 million yen, and an increase in trade payables of 7,936 million yen.
Net cash used in investing activities was 3,451 million yen. This resulted primarily from payments into time deposits of 11,505 million yen, proceeds from withdrawal of time deposits of 9,195 million yen, payments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of 4,848 million yen, and proceeds from withdrawal of long-term deposits of 3,500 million yen.
Net cash used in financing activities was 8,616 million yen. This was mainly due to repayments of short-term borrowings of 1,050 million yen, payments for acquisition of treasury shares of 4,200 million yen, and dividends paid of 3,307 million yen.
