Analysis of Operating Results
In the year ended March 31, 2025, although the Japanese economy continued to recover gradually due to improvements in the employment and income environment and strong inbound demand, the outlook remains uncertain due to factors such as the impact of US tariff policy and soaring raw material and energy prices against the backdrop of the weak yen.
In markets related to the Company, demand for equipment upgrades is expanding in the domestic electric power market, and demand for products not using SF6 gas is increasing, mainly in developed countries overseas, and these have had a positive impact on the Company's business. Furthermore, while the semiconductor market showed signs of a gradual recovery in supply and demand, the momentum of the shift to EVs in the automotive industry weakened, which had no small impact on the performance of the Company's EV business.
[Consolidated Results]Amid such conditions, during the fiscal year under review, which is the final year of Medium-Term Management Plan 2024, we have been working to achieve our targets by actively capturing market demand, focusing on businesses and products contributing to the environment, and strengthening the earnings base in overseas business. At the same time, we have promoted the implementation of various sustainability management measures, such as green strategies and human capital, and have worked to strengthen our value creation foundations.
Operating results for the year ended March 31, 2025 were as follows.

The results for each business segment are presented below, with sales figures including inter-segment sales. With the absorption-type merger of MEIDEN SHOJI Co., Ltd. in the year ended March 31, 2024, the segment classification of the business conducted by MEIDEN SHOJI was changed from the year ended March 31, 2025. The following comparisons with the same period of the previous year are based on the figures for the same period of the previous year reflecting the change.
-
Power Infrastructure Business
Net sales in the segment increased 10.2% year on year to ¥86,437 million, and operating income improved by ¥1,544 million to ¥7,988 million, marking record highs for both net sales and operating income.
In the Power T&D business mainly operating overseas, sales and income increased due to growth in demand and efforts to improve profitability in Singapore, Germany, India, and other regions. In the Power & Energy business mainly operating in Japan, both sales and income increased on the back of an increase in demand for projects for electric power companies.
-
Public, Industrial & Commercial Sector Business
Net sales in the segment increased 10.0% year on year to ¥96,323 million, and operating income improved by ¥3,568 million to ¥3,034 million.
The Social Infrastructure business and Water Infrastructure business posted an increase in sales and income due to the trend of improvement in the deterioration of profitability caused by soaring material costs, despite some projects being affected by the delayed posting of sales due to process delays. In the Railways business, although a decline was seen in overseas projects, sales decreased but income increased mainly due to an improvement in the cost of large projects that we have been working on in Singapore.
-

Net sales in the segment decreased 8.5% year on year to ¥72,079 million, while operating income improved by ¥936 million to ¥1,132 million.

Meanwhile, sales and income increased in the Electronics Products business and the Mobility T&S business, where a gradual recovery in demand was seen.

Net sales in the segment increased 17.2% to ¥49,567 million and operating income improved by ¥3,281 million to ¥9,931 million.

to an increase in cash and time deposits, although collection of notes and accounts receivable-trade, and contract assets progressed.

Total liabilities at March 31, 2025 were ¥199,134 million, a decrease of ¥6,164 million (3.0%) from the end of the previous fiscal year, attributable to redemption of bonds and a decrease in notes and accounts payable-trade.
Total net assets amounted to ¥142,212 million, an increase of ¥12,724 million (9.8%) from the end of the previous fiscal year, owing to recording of net income attributable to owners of the parent.

Future Outlook
Amid growing demands for solving social issues and achieving sustained economic and industrial development, innovative technologies such as generative AI are rapidly being put into practical use, and it is anticipated that the environment surrounding companies and the nature of the value they should provide are expected to undergo significant and diverse changes in the future. Under these circumstances, the Group has positioned its Medium-Term Management Plan 2027 as a three-year period in which to achieve both "steady growth meeting needs" and "changes and challenges for the future," with the aim of realizing both sustained growth of existing businesses and non-continuous growth. As a growth strategy, we will develop strategic approaches tailored to each of the three areas of "Products," "Businesses," and "Technologies," and also implement the "deepening of green strategy," "strengthening of human capital," and "acceleration of internal DX" as management foundations to support our growth strategy, thereby creating further value.
The current management forecast for consolidated financial results for the year ending March 31, 2026 is as follows.

Notes on Consolidated Financial Statements
(Notes on the Going-concern Assumption)
Not applicable
(Significant Matters that Serve as the Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements) Significant Changes to Scope of Consolidation
During the year ended March 31, 2025, KESENNUMA KANKYOKANRI CORPORATION was included in the scope of consolidation due to the acquisition of its shares.
(Changes in Accounting Methods)
(Application of Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes, etc.)
The "Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes" (ASBJ Statement No. 27, October 28, 2022; "2022 Revised Accounting Standard") has been applied from the beginning of the year ended March 31, 2025. With regard to the revisions concerning the accounting classification of income taxes (taxation on other comprehensive income), these are subject to the provisional treatment set forth in the proviso of paragraph 20-3 of the 2022 Revised Accounting Standard and the provisional treatment set forth in the proviso of paragraph 65-2 (2) of the "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting" (ASBJ Guidance No. 28, October 28, 2022; "2022 Revised Guidance"). This change has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the Company has adopted the 2022 Revised Guidance for the revisions related to the review of the treatment in consolidated financial statements deferring gains or losses on sales of investments in subsidiaries among consolidated companies for tax purposes, effective from the beginning of the year ended March 31, 2025. The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively, and the consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year have been prepared on a retrospective basis. This change has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year.
(Segment and Other Information) [Segment information]
Overview of reportable segment
Method of determining reportable segments
The Company's reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available. These segments are subject to periodic examinations to enable the Company's Board of Directors to decide how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company has business divisions based on product and service categories and operates under a comprehensive strategy formulated for products and services handled.
The Company's operations are, therefore, classified based on product and service categories into five reportable segments, namely "Power Infrastructure," "Public, Industrial & Commercial Sector," "Mobility & Electrical Components," "Field Service Engineering," and "Real Estate."
Reportable segment
Description of businesses
Power Infrastructure
This business provides heavy electrical equipment and systems for the generation and transmission of electricity to electric power and other companies
Public, Industrial & Commercial Sector
This business provides heavy electrical equipment and systems to users of electricity such as public agencies, railway operators, and private-sector companies
Mobility & Electrical Components
This business provides components for the semiconductor, general industrial, and electric vehicle fields, as well as automotive R&D systems
Field Service Engineering
This business operates the maintenance business.
Real Estate
This business operates related to the rental of real estates.
Matters concerning changes in reportable segments
In the previous fiscal year, the Company conducted an absorption-type merger with MEIDEN SHOJI Co., Ltd. Accordingly, MEIDEN SHOJI's business, which was included in "Other" until the previous fiscal year, has been split according to the content of the business and included in "Power Infrastructure," "Public, Industrial & Commercial Sector," and "Mobility & Electrical Components" businesses from the year ended March 31, 2025.
"Net sales and income/loss by reportable segment" for the year ended March 31, 2024 has been reclassified to reflect the new amounts.
Calculation method for net sales, income/loss, assets, liabilities and other items by reportable segment The accounting methods for reported business segments are generally the same as those stated in "Significant Matters that Serve as the Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements." Segment income (loss) is based on operating income (loss).
Inter-segment sales and transfers are based on market price.
