    1. Overview of Operating Results
      1. 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 Gaming

        Net 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 Commercial

        Net 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 Commercial

        Net 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 Industry

        Net 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.

      2. Overview of Financial Position for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025

        Total assets at the end of the consolidated fiscal year increased by 1,686 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to 49,385 million yen.

        Total current assets increased by 1,322 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to 41,465 million yen. While "Cash and deposits" increased by 4,934 million yen, "Notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets" and inventories decreased by 1,161 million yen and 2,502 million yen, respectively.

        Total non-current assets increased by 385 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to 7,816 million yen. "Property, plant and equipment" increased by 130 million yen due to the acquisition of production molds, while "Investments and other assets" increased by 279 million yen, mainly as a result of the recognition of deferred tax assets.

        Total deferred assets decreased by 20 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to 102 million yen. This was mainly due to the amortization of bond issuance costs.

        Total current liabilities decreased by 1,192 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to 8,068 million yen. "Current portion of long-term borrowings" increased by 240 million yen, and "Other" increased by 752 million yen, primarily due to an increase in contract liabilities. On the other hand, "Notes and accounts payable - trade" decreased by 2,381 million yen.

        Total non-current liabilities decreased by 496 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to 9,285 million yen. "Long-term borrowings" decreased by 420 million yen due to repayments.

        Total net assets increased by 3,375 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to 32,031 million yen. "Treasury shares" increased by 1,559 million yen due to the purchase of treasury shares, etc. "Retained earnings" increased by 2,898 million yen as a result of recording profit attributable to owners of parent, and "Foreign currency translation adjustment" increased by 2,057 million yen due to the mark-to-market valuation of overseas subsidiaries.

      3. Overview of Cash Flows for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025

        Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter referred to as "cash") at the end of the consolidated fiscal year increased by 4,934 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to17,457 million yen.

        Cash flows from operating activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities was 7,637 million yen (net cash used of 4,925 million yen in the previous fiscal year). This was mainly due to an increase in cash resulting from profit before income taxes of 4,798 million yen, a decrease in trade receivables of 1,590 million yen, and a decrease in inventories of 3,776 million yen. On the other hand, cash decreased due to a decrease in trade payables of 2,823 million yen and income taxes paid of 1,073 million yen.

        Cash flows from investing activities

        Net cash used in investing activities was 390 million yen (402 million yen used in the previous fiscal year). This was mainly due to an increase in cash resulting from proceeds of 118 million yen from the sale of property, plant and equipment, while cash decreased due to 432 million yen in payments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

        Cash flows from financing activities

        Net cash used in financing activities was 2,789 million yen (net cash provided of 4,116 million yen in the previous fiscal year). This was mainly due to an increase in cash from proceeds of 1,200 million yen from long-term borrowings, while cash decreased due to payments of 1,380 million yen for the repayment of long-term borrowings, 1,576 million yen for the purchase of treasury shares, and 908 million yen for dividends paid.

        In addition to these items, there was an increase of 477 million yen in cash resulting from the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents.

      4. 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.

      5. 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%).

    2. Basic Approach to the Selection of Accounting Standards

      The Group currently prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Japanese GAAP, taking into consideration comparability over time and among companies.

      With regard to the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), we will continue to respond appropriately based on developments in the domestic and international environment.

    The amendment to the classification of income taxes (taxation on other comprehensive income) follows the transitional treatment prescribed in the proviso of paragraph 20-3 of the Revised Accounting Standard 2022 and the transitional treatment prescribed in the proviso of paragraph 65-2 (2) of the "Implementation Guidance on Tax Effect Accounting" (ASBJ Guidance No.28, issued on October 28, 2022; hereinafter referred to as the "Revised Implementation Guidance 2022"). This change in accounting policies has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

    In addition, the Company has adopted the Revised Implementation Guidance 2022 for the amendment related to the revised accounting treatment in consolidated financial statements regarding the tax deferral of gains and losses arising from the sale of subsidiary shares among consolidated entities, effective from the beginning of the consolidated fiscal year under review. This change in accounting policies has been retrospectively applied, and the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year have been retrospectively adjusted. This change in accounting policies has no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year.

      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 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.
