Overview of financial results for FYE3/’26
M&T: Mobility & Telematics Services Sector
S&S: Safety & Security Sector
ES: Entertainment Solutions Sector
Although there are fluctuations in each sector, results are largely in line with our forecasts as a Group.
Both revenue and core operating income decreased as a Group mainly due to the significant impact of production and sales declines resulting from supply shortage of components primarily for the enterprise market in the Communications Systems Business in S&S, coupled with the effect of U.S. tariff measures on M&T and the Media Business in ES.
Full-year earnings forecast for FYE3/’27
In S&S, although we expect recovery from the impact of supply shortage of components and strong demand in the Communications Systems Business, we assume risk arising from the impact of the U.S. government* shutdown mainly in H1.
In M&T, we expect the impact of a memory supply shortage and price surge, but we assume strong sales in the Domestic Dealer-Installed Option Business. In ES, we expect solid performance in the Entertainment Business and a reduction in the impact of U.S. tariff measures on the Media Business.
Based on the above, we expect increases in both revenue and profit in our consolidated earnings forecast. We will continue to monitor the growing geopolitical risks, such as the situation in the Middle East, and take appropriate measures.

M&T | Despite the impact of U.S. tariff measures on the Aftermarket Business and the slowdown in the Chinese economy on JKHL* in the OEM Business, the overall sector saw a YOY decline in revenue but an increase in core operating income, supported by strong domestic dealer-installed option sales, aftermarket price revisions, and fixed-cost reductions. ※JVCKENWOODHongKongHoldingsLimited |
S&S | Revenue and core operating income of the sector decreased YoY, affected by lost sales opportunities for the enterprise market in H2 and a delay in budget execution for the public safety market due to the U.S. government shutdown, despite the resolution of component supply shortages in the Communications Systems Business after Q2. |

Investing cash flow decreased year on year, due to a decrease in proceeds from the sale of fixed assets,
despite lower investment.
Financing cash flow saw a significantly smaller outflow year on year, as proceeds from the issuance of convertible bonds with share acquisition rights more than offset the increase in share repurchases.
