Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025
During the consolidated fiscal year under review, the global economy remained under uncertain conditions. This was due to prolonged geopolitical risks, rising prices driven by surging raw material costs, and unstable foreign exchange fluctuations caused by monetary policies in various countries.
In the gaming market, which is the Group's primary market, willingness to invest in capital expenditures in gaming areas of casino hotels-our major customers-remained strong, driven by the global recovery in tourism demand. In the international commercial market, although inventory adjustments were observed among customers in Europe-particularly in the fourth quarter-due to weakening business sentiment in the region, overall demand remained firm, supported by the continued global expansion of self-checkout systems. In the domestic commercial market and the market for equipment for the amusement Industry, willingness to invest in capital expenditures in money-handling equipment remained solid. This was supported not only by the ongoing replacement demand due to the issuance of new banknotes, which began in the latter half of the previous fiscal year, but also by an increase in demand in the retail and transportation markets, reflecting the growth in inbound tourism.
Under these circumstances, in the gaming market, we actively promoted the sales of system products tailored to customer needs and new high value-added products that contribute to the automation and labor-saving of money-handling processes. In addition, we conducted proactive proposal activities to encourage the replacement of older bill validator units with the most recent current models.
In the international commercial market, we worked to promote various sales initiatives aimed at further expanding our market share in Europe and Asia. In North, Central, and South America, we continued our efforts to develop new markets through new product development tailored to local needs, multifaceted proposal-based sales activities, and the development of a sales structure aimed at expanding distribution channels by increasing the number of distributors. In the domestic markets, we not only responded to the replacement demand for money-handling equipment arising from the issuance of new banknotes, but also regarded the issuance as a valuable opportunity and further intensified our proposal-based sales activities with the aim of expanding demand.
Furthermore, on the production front, we worked to strengthen our stable earnings base by enhancing our product supply system and optimizing inventory management. This was achieved through the substantial completion of the transfer of our overseas production base from China to the Philippines, which enabled us to establish a more efficient production framework and develop a flexible production system capable of responding to fluctuations in market demand.
As a result of the above, net sales for the consolidated fiscal year under review amounted to 37,815 million yen (up 19.6% YoY). In terms of profitability, operating profit was 4,910 million yen (up 73.0% YoY), mainly due to an increase in sales of highly profitable products, particularly those related to the issuance of new banknotes. Ordinary income amounted to 4,676 million yen (up 31.1% YoY), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 3,810 million yen (up 16.1% YoY).
During the fiscal year that ended in March 2025, the average exchange rates were 152.28 yen to the U.S. dollar (141.20 yen in the previous fiscal year) and 164.45 yen to the euro (153.20 yen in the previous fiscal year). Furthermore, the exchange rate at the end of the fiscal year, which was used for the mark-to-market valuation at the fiscal year-end, was 149.53 yen per U.S. dollar (151.42 yen at the end of the previous fiscal year).
Net sales by business segment for the fiscal year are presented below.

(Note) "Adjustments" include the elimination of inter-segment sales and expenses that cannot be directly allocated to reportable segments.
Global GamingNet sales in this segment totaled 21,477 million yen (up 24.3% YoY), and segment profit was 4,368 million yen (up 56.3% YoY.) This result was driven by an increase in sales following the partial resolution of the supply shortage of our products, which had been particularly pronounced in the first half of the previous fiscal year. In addition, especially in North America, sales of bill validator units for gaming machines increased due to active efforts to encourage the replacement of older models.
International CommercialNet sales in this segment totaled 5,707 million yen (down 3.5% YoY). This was due to a decline in sales of bill recycling units for self-checkout machines and railway ticket machines in Europe, caused by inventory adjustments and other factors in response to a downturn in business sentiment in the second half of the fiscal year. In addition, in North, Central, and South America, it has taken longer than initially expected to secure sales results from new projects. On the profitability side, the segment posted a loss of 566 million yen (a segment loss of 175 million yen was recorded in the previous fiscal year), primarily due to upfront investments such as research and development for new products aimed at developing new markets across North, Central, and South America.
Domestic CommercialNet sales in this segment totaled 3,805 million yen (up 41.4% YoY) and segment profit was 1,147 million yen (up 119.1% YoY). This was mainly due to an increase in replacement demand associated with the issuance of new banknotes. In addition, sales of bill recycling units increased in the retail and transportation markets, mainly for ticket vending machines used in restaurants and for parking payment machines. This was supported by the rising number of inbound tourists.
Equipment for the Amusement IndustryNet sales in this segment totaled 6,824 million yen (up 19.2% YoY) and segment profit was 1,437 million yen (up 43.4% YoY). These results were mainly attributable to increased sales of peripheral equipment, including bill validator units and bill transport systems, in response to replacement demand associated with the issuance of new banknotes. In addition, sales of units dedicated to smart gaming machines remained solid.

Cash flows from operating activitiesNet cash provided by operating activities was 7,637 million yen (net cash used of 4,925 million yen in the previous fiscal year).

Outlook
Regarding the business environment surrounding the Group in the next fiscal year (fiscal year ending March 31, 2026), the outlook is expected to remain uncertain. This is due to continued geopolitical risks and inflationary pressures, which are likely to slow down economic activity overseas, particularly in Europe. In addition, the potential impact of U.S. trade policies poses a downside risk to the global economy.
With regard to the market environment for the Group, there are concerns overseas, particularly in Europe, about the growing impact of economic slowdown. In the domestic markets, capital investment in money-handling equipment is expected to weaken due to the dissipation of demand related to the issuance of new banknotes, which significantly contributed to performance in the current fiscal year.
Under these circumstances, in the gaming market, we will strive to maintain and expand our market share in North America by fully leveraging the synergy between newly introduced products that support automation and labor-saving in money-handling processes in the back offices of fully operational casino hotels and our core existing products through proposal-based sales activities.
In the international commercial market, we aim to further expand our commercial business by accelerating new product development and sales channel expansion in North, Central, and South America, while also actively engaging in sales activities in untapped countries in Asia. We are also making proactive upfront investments in both human and physical resources to establish our commercial operations in North, Central, and South America as a future driver of business performance. However, profitability in this region is now expected to materialize slightly later than initially anticipated.
In addition, we will continue to actively pursue research and development aimed at cultivating new business domains that could become future pillars for the Group, which represents one of our key medium- to longterm challenges. We will also steadily advance efforts to build a foundation for future commercialization by expanding into new markets with technologies and products developed through the application of our core technologies.
Based on the above, the consolidated earnings forecast for the next fiscal year is as follows, including the planned recognition of a gain on sale of non-current assets as extraordinary income.
The assumed exchange rates for the next fiscal year are 140 yen to the U.S. dollar and 155 yen to the euro.

- Basic Policy on Profit Distribution and Dividends for the Current and Next Fiscal Years
The Group's basic policy on profit distribution is to strike a balance between two aspects: to increase dividend payment amount as a result of a profit increase through the realization of growth strategies and to return a profit to shareholders through the payment of stable dividends. The Company has decided a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or more by taking into account the dividends on net assets.
With respect to shareholder returns for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, in addition to the profit distribution based on the above policy, the Company purchased treasury share totaling 1,576 million yen in order to implement a flexible capital policy in response to changes in the business environment.
As a result, the year-end dividend for the current fiscal year has been set, as previously forecast, at 36 yen per share, consisting of an ordinary dividend of 26 yen and a commemorative dividend of 10 yen in celebration of the Company's 70th anniversary. Including the interim dividend (ordinary dividend of 14 yen per share), the total annual dividend for the fiscal year amounts to 50 yen per share (consolidated dividend payout ratio of 35.3%), comprising an ordinary dividend of 40 yen and a commemorative dividend of 10 yen.
As for the annual dividend for the next fiscal year, we expect to pay 40 yen per share, in line with our basic policy on profit distribution (consolidated dividend payout ratio of 33.7%).

Overview of reportable segments
The reportable segments of the Company are defined as components of the Company for which separate financial information is available and are subject to periodic review by the Board of Directors for the purpose of determining the allocation of management resources and evaluating performance.
The Group formulates comprehensive strategies for its products and services on a business-by-business basis and develops its business activities accordingly.
Consequently, the Company is composed of segments based on business units and has four reportable segments, which are "Global Gaming," "International Commercial," "Domestic Commercial," and "Equipment for the Amusement Industry."
The Global Gaming segment sells bill validator units, bill recycling units, and gaming printer products to casinos and OEM customers. The International Commercial segment sells bill validator units, bill recycling units, and other products to the overseas financial, retail, and transportation markets. The Domestic Commercial segment sells bill and coin recycling units, and other products to the Japanese financial, retail, and transportation markets. The Equipment for the Amusement Industry segment sells peripheral equipment including automatic token dispensing systems and bill transport systems for pachinko parlors.
Method of calculating amounts of net sales, profit and loss, assets and other items for each reportable segment
The accounting method for reportable business segments is in accordance with the accounting policies used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
