  1. ‌Qualitative information regarding financial results for the first six months ended September 30, 2025‌
    1. ‌Explanation of operating results‌

      During the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 (from April 2025 to September 2025), the global economy faced significant uncertainty due to factors including additional tariffs imposed by the United States, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and the prolonged situation in Ukraine. While the United States saw solid growth, primarily driven by personal consumption, China saw no significant recovery in personal consumption, resulting in a sluggish overall economy. Furthermore, Europe's manufacturing sector remains sluggish, and the economy remains stagnant. The Japanese economy experienced a lackluster recovery in domestic demand due to factors such as a decline in real purchasing power caused by rising cost of living and rising import costs due to the weaker yen. Furthermore, while the yen appreciated against the dollar at the beginning of the fiscal year, it weakened again toward the end of interim consolidated accounting period due to trends in U.S. interest rates.

      In the electronics components industry to which the Group belongs, in the automotive-related market, a temporary slowdown in EV demand, mainly in Europe and the United States, and the impact of trade issues have continued to be observed. In the mobile communications-related market, although sales are on a recovery trend and demand is returning mainly for high-end models, recovery is slow movement in emerging markets, so the industry continues to face challenges.

      Under such circumstances, the Group recorded increase in net sales as a whole due to the amusement-related business grew significantly, and the automotive-related business also increased despite a decrease in the mobile communications-related business.

      With regard to profits, in addition to a significant increase in sales related to amusement-related business, foreign exchange losses incurred in the same period of the previous year turned into foreign exchange gains in the period under review, resulting in ordinary profit significantly exceeding that of the same period last year.

      As a result, during the period under review, the Group posted consolidated net sales of 245,426 million yen (up 111.3% year on year), operating profit of 8,098 million yen (up 1.6% year on year), ordinary profit of 9,588 million yen (up 51.2% year on year) with foreign exchange gains of 929 million yen in line with foreign exchange fluctuations, and profit attributable to owners of parent of 6,108 million yen (up 38.0% year on year).

      The net sales and segment profit or loss for the reportable segments are as follows:

      Net sales for the electro-mechanical components segment were 227,402 million yen (up 133.9% year on year) due to the amusement-related business grew significantly and the automotive-related business also increased despite a decrease in the mobile communications-related business, and the segment profit was 6,423 million yen (up 11.0% year on year).

      Net sales for the acoustic components segment were 10,261 million yen (down 5.4% year on year) due to decreases in the automotive-related businesses and the AV equipment-related business, and the segment profit was 1,084 million yen (down 22.8% year on year).

      Net sales for the applied equipment and other segment were 7,762 million yen (down 4.1% year on year), and the segment profit was 591 million yen (down 23.8% year on year) due to a decrease in the automotive-related businesses despite an increase in the amusement related business.

      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.

    2. ‌Explanation of financial position‌

      Assets, liabilities, and net assets

      At the end of the first six months ended September 30, 2025, total assets increased 12,711 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 212,990 million yen mainly due to an increase in trade receivables, despite decreases in cash and deposits and inventories. Total liabilities increased 10,184 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 70,147 million yen mainly due to increases in trade payable and income taxes payable despite a decrease in short-term borrowings.

      Net assets increased 2,526 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 142,843 million yen mainly due to increases in retained earnings and valuation difference on available-for-sale securities, despite a decrease foreign currency translation adjustment, resulting in an equity-to-asset ratio of 67.1%.

      Cash flows

      At the end of the first six months ended September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents decreased 216 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 46,552 million yen.

      Net cash provided in operating activities in the period under review was 5,594 million yen. This was mainly due to profit before income taxes of 8,814 million yen, depreciation of 2,199 million yen, an increase in trade receivables of 28,015 million yen, a decrease in inventories of 13,450 million yen, an increase in trade payables of 10,629 million yen, and income taxes paid of 1,615 million yen.

      Net cash used in investing activities was 1,981 million yen. This was mainly due to payments into time deposits of 11,538 million yen, proceeds from withdrawal of time deposits of 9,228 million yen, proceeds from withdrawal of long-term deposits of 3,500 million yen, and purchase of property, plant and equipment of 3,023 million yen.

      Net cash used in financing activities was 3,124 million yen. This was mainly due to repayments of short-term borrowings of 1,050 million yen and devidends paid of 2,035 million yen.
