Overview of Operating Results for the Current Quarter
In light of the continued challenging business environment, we have been working to build a more resilient corporate structure. On May 14, 2024, we announced our '24 Mid-Term Business Plan covering FY 2024 through FY 2026 as a phase of accelerated growth toward realizing our FY2030 Target Position. Under this plan, we have set key performance indicators (KPIs) for profitability, capital efficiency, capital investment, shareholder returns, and ESG, and are actively working toward their achievement.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated net sales increased by 0.9% year on year to ¥45.86 billion, operating profit increased by 1.1% to ¥4.59 billion, and ordinary income rose by 18.4% to ¥5.07 billion. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 36.5% year on year to ¥3.87 billion.
