Overview of Operating Results, etc.
  1. Business Results

    During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, concerns over geopolitical risks persisted due to developments in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as heightened attention to monetary policies in various countries and tariff policies involving the United States and other countries. In the high-tech market, rapid technological advancements and active investments were observed across a wide range of fields related to generative AI.

    In our business, working within this business environment, market conditions in the automotive-related business softened, and in the semiconductor-related business, the recovery in general-purpose memory that had been expected in the second half was shifted. Meanwhile, demand related to next-generation high-speed communications remained at a high level throughout the fiscal year, and from the fourth quarter, a significant increase in production commenced due to the full-scale launch of a successor model.

    As a result, consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 increased 3.7% from the previous fiscal year to 74,476 million yen. Operating profit decreased by 7.2% from the previous fiscal year to 24,976 million yen, ordinary profit was decreased by 2.6% from the previous fiscal year to 26,321 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by 5.6% from the previous fiscal year to 18,163 million yen.

    In addition, at the end of the fiscal year, there had been a delay in the recovery of general-purpose memory and a temporary decline in yield during the ramp-up of certain new products, and both issues have now been resolved.

    In the fourth quarter, a significant increase in production commenced due to the launch of a next-generation high-speed communication-related successor model, resulting in record-high quarterly sales and profits.

    Looking ahead, while the global economic environment is expected to remain uncertain due to geopolitical risks such as the situation in the Middle East, we will continue to steadily focus on strengthening our business foundation toward the achievement of our medium-term plan targeting net sales of 100 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2029.

    Sales and profits by segment are as follows. (Ceramic Components Business)

    In the automotive-related business, market conditions softened, and in the semiconductor-related business, the recovery in

    general-purpose memory that had been expected in the second half was delayed. Meanwhile, demand related to next-generation high-speed communications remained at a high level throughout the fiscal year, and from the fourth quarter, a significant increase in production commenced due to the full-scale launch of a successor model.

    As a result, consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 increased 2.1% from the previous fiscal year to 63,797 million yen, and segment profit decreased by 9.3% from the previous fiscal year to 24,573 million yen.

    (Lighting Equipment Business)

    This segment performed strongly, supported by increasing demand for LED lighting driven by the government's target of fully transitioning from fluorescent lighting to LED lighting by 2030, as well as growing demand for office renovation projects. Sales of high value-added lighting for offices and LED lighting installation projects for public facilities remained strong. In addition, high-end lighting for the luxury new condominium market also performed robustly.

    As a result, consolidated net sales for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 increased 14.1% from the same period of last year to 10,679 million yen, and segment profit increased 49.0% from the previous fiscal year to 2,141 million yen.

  2. Financial Conditions (Assets)

    Current assets at the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, totaled 103,175 million yen, an increase of 2,885 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in raw materials and supplies. Fixed assets totaled 59,515 million yen, up 17,520 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was due to an increase in construction in progress. As a result, total assets amounted to 162,691 million yen, up 20,405 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

    (Liabilities)

    Current liabilities at the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, amounted to 14,856 million yen, up 923 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in accounts payable. Fixed liabilities came to 571 million yen, up 73 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in deferred tax liabilities.

    As a result, total liabilities amounted to 15,428 million yen, up 997 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

    (Net Assets)

    Total net assets were 147, 262 million yen at the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, up 19,408 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was due to profit attributable to owners of parent company of 18,163 million yen.

    As a result, the equity ratio was 90.5% (89.9% at the end of the previous fiscal year).

  3. Overview of Cash Flows
