Notes to the projected financial results
The above forecasts were prepared based on estimates using information currently available.
Actual results may differ from the forecasts. For assumptions and other information regarding the forecasts, refer to “Business Results and Financial Position.”
Business Results and Financial Position (from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026)
Business Results
During the period, the global economic environment maintained solid growth against the backdrop of expanding AI-related demand. However, the outlook remained uncertain due to trade policy developments across various countries and rising geopolitical risks including the unstable situation in the Middle East.
In the electronics market, where Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Companies”) operate, demand for parts rose as the number of electronic components used in AI servers and peripheral equipment increased, which in turn boosted demand for data centers. Furthermore, although the growth rate of xEVs has slowed, the automotive market remained firm, driven by the advancement of AD/ADAS.
Under these circumstances, revenue from high-frequency modules and multilayer resin substrates used in smartphones decreased during the period. In contrast, revenue from multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) increased across a wide range of applications, mainly servers, and revenue from inductors for smartphones and mobility as well as EMI filters for servers and mobility increased. As a result, revenue increased by 5.0% year on year to 1,830,856 million yen, despite the impact of foreign currency fluctuations (appreciation of the yen by 1.79 yen year on year).
Looking at profits, operating profit was 281,835 million yen, up 0.8% year on year; profit before tax was 308,643 million yen, up 1.4% year on year; and profit attributable to owners of parent came to 233,920 million yen, up 0.0% year on year. This was due to profit-increasing factors such as gains from a higher operation rate resulting from an increase in production output and cost reduction, despite a fall in product selling prices and impairment losses on goodwill in business related to SAW filter products.
Return on invested capital (ROIC) (post-tax basis) during the period was 9.7%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.3%, due to an increase in invested capital, including property, plant and equipment.

Forecast of Consolidated Financial Results
The global economic climate for the next period is expected to remain solid. However, fears over trade policy developments in various countries and geopolitical risks such as the situation in the Middle East raise concerns about an economic slowdown, requiring a close watch on trends.
In the electronics market where the Companies operate, future demand for parts remains uncertain due to factors such as soaring memory prices and concerns over the supply of raw materials stemming from the situation in the Middle East. Nevertheless, demand for parts is forecasted to grow against the backdrop of growing demand for AI servers and peripheral equipment and increased investment in data centers.
Under these circumstances, the Company has made the following forecasts for the next fiscal year.

With respect to revenue for the next period, the Company expects an increase in capacitors and power supply modules for servers and in capacitors for distributors, despite a decrease in lithium-ion secondary batteries for power tools and multilayer resin substrates for smartphones. As a result, revenue for the next period is planned to be 1,960,000 million yen, up 7.1% from the period. Looking at profits, the Company is projecting an operating profit of 380,000 million yen, up 34.8% year on year; profit before tax of 390,000 million yen, up 26.4% year on year; and profit attributable to owners of parent of 293,000 million yen, up 25.3% year on year. This is due to profit-increasing factors such as gains from a higher operation rate resulting from an increase in production output and cost reduction, despite profit-decreasing factors such as a fall in product selling prices and increased fixed costs.
Regarding capital expenditures, the Company plans to invest a total of 250,000 million yen primarily to expand production
capacity for products whose demand is expected to grow, particularly from servers.
ROIC (post-tax basis) is expected to increase to 12.3%, up 2.6% from the period, due to the increase in operating profit, despite an increase in invested capital including property, plant and equipment and inventories.
Basic policy on profit distribution and dividends for the year ended March 31, 2026 and the year ending March 31, 2027
The Company’s basic policy for returning profits to shareholders is to prioritize dividend payments. The Company intends to achieve a dividend on equity (DOE) of 5% by 2027 while enhancing the value of the Company and improving its financial strength over the long term.
In addition to dividends, the Company may implement the acquisition of treasury shares as an appropriate method of shareholder returns, with the aim of improving capital efficiency.
Internally generated funds will be used effectively for future business development, including research and development for technological innovation, and capital expenditures for production facilities to develop new products and products for which strong demand is expected.
For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company plans to pay a year-end dividend of 35 yen per share. The Company plans to pay an annual dividend of 70 yen per share (comprising interim and year-end dividends of 35 yen per share, each) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. These dividend forecasts are based on the current business environment and projected results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.

Growth strategy (1) : Deepen core businesses and promote evolution of business models
In order for the Companies to continue to create value as an innovator in the drastically changing electronics industry, it is necessary to capture the global trends of technology and changes in society and reflect them in business management. In order to create various innovations looking ahead to the future from a long-term perspective, the Companies use a 3-layer portfolio for business management and focus on five key fields with business opportunities to create value.
“3-layer portfolio”
“Five business opportunities”
Growth strategy (2) : Execute four management transformations
・Management transformation 1: Management that creates a continuous cycle of social value and economic value
The Companies strive to increase the value provided to society (social value) while creating a continuous
cycle of social value and economic value as it aims to remain the company of choice that is trusted by its stakeholders. To achieve this vision, we have set targets for key issues (materialities) originating with social issues.
・Management transformation 2: Autonomous and decentralized organizational management
Even as the Companies expand its scale and business area, we hope to transform Murata’s organizational management to be more autonomous and decentralized so that every employee can continue to practice the Murata Philosophy in their daily work, provide value, and continue growing just as we did when the Murata Philosophy established.
・Management transformation 3: Change-responsive management based on hypothetical thinking
At a time when the environment is changing drastically, we should not be passive, but rather prepare by hypothesizing what might happen in the future, then practice change-responsive business management, which flexibly corrects its course in response to change. Each function and organization continually gathers information on future changes, discusses them, takes action, and monitors, raising their sensitivity to environmental changes.
・Management transformation 4: Digital transformation (DX)
The Companies define digital transformation (DX) as an initiative that enables people and organizations (business processes) both inside and outside Murata to connect digitally and freely and make processes shorter, faster, and visible, thereby continually driving to dramatically increase customer value and competitiveness. Both the organization that promotes the strategy for company-wide DX and the executing organization will accelerate the overall digitalization in order to realize our vision in the domains to strengthen and core fields.
Medium-Term Direction 2027
Positioning of Medium-Term Direction 2027
The Companies see Medium-Term Direction 2027 as covering a three-year period of increased clarity toward the realization of our vision as we work to achieve “what Murata wants to be” as described in Vision 2030. We believe that the emergence of AI will further accelerate the realization of “digital twins” that the Companies foresee for 2030 in our worldview. On the way to achieving our 2030 worldview, the three years from now through 2027 will be a period of major change in the electronics industry. For this period, we have set forth three basic policies that the Group will implement to increase clarity toward the realization of our vision of initiatives to be the best choice for customers and society.
Management Targets
The figure below lays out our company-wide management targets under Medium-Term Direction 2027.
*1 ROIC (post-tax basis) = Operating profit × (1- effective tax rate) ÷ Average invested capital at the beginning and end of the period (Property, plant, and equipment/right-of-use assets/goodwill/intangible assets + inventories + trade receivable - trade payables)
*2 Greenhouse gas
*3 Carbon neutral
*4 Percentage of recycled material use (by weight), mainly in 24 resources at high risk of depletion
*5 Percentage of Murata’s discharges (waste + valuable materials) that are recycled as circulating resources (by weight)
*6 Cumulative number of employees in Japan and abroad who have gained global experience through relocation, training, or remote assignments outside their home country after 2025
*7 Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. on a non-consolidated basis
Three “Basic Policies”
・Policy 1: Dramatic growth in electronics driven by AI
With the development of AI technology, we foresee that the Companies’ business opportunities will further expand as we realize our “digital twins” worldview, in which cyberspace and physical space are seamlessly connected.
The Companies will focus on edge devices, mobility, and IT infrastructure as our core fields, aiming to win the No. 1 share of the market for capacitors and for inductors and EMI filters, and to achieve high sales growth in functional devices, high-frequency devices and communications modules, and battery and power supply.
In addition, we see the environment, wellness, and layer 3 businesses as challenge fields. We will work to expand our businesses in these areas and explore technologies for the very long term beyond 2030.
・Policy 2: Practicing sustainable operations
Up to now, the Companies have achieved business growth by pursuing lighter, thinner, shorter, smaller, and more efficient products contributing to the miniaturization of electronic devices, and by taking the lead in efforts to reduce environmental impact through sustainable operations. Going forward, we will accelerate our efforts by co-creating with our stakeholders under the two main themes of climate change countermeasures and resource recycling.
In addition, to ensure a stable supply of products in business conditions where the threat of hazard risks and geopolitical risks is becoming more complex, we will further strengthen our efforts to reinforce our networks among sites around the globe, maintain appropriate inventory policies, and build resilient, diversified supply chains.
・Policy 3: Strengthening people and organizations, which are the core of management capital
The Companies believe that organizational and human capital is the core connecting all management capital. As such, we aim to realize Vision 2030 by promoting the transformation into individuals and an organization brimming with innovation. We have drawn up a new “virtuous cycle between individuals and the organization” model that spells out actions to be taken by individuals and the organization in an autonomous and decentralized organizational management. We will further our initiatives under the three key themes of “dynamic resource allocation,” “developing leaders who can change the future,” and “achieving a virtuous cycle between individuals and the organization.”
In addition, we aim to realize high-cycle operations by promoting DX to visualize and streamline engineering chains, supply chains, and demand chains. This will give our personnel more time to focus on the core objectives of our operations and serving customers properly, helping to maximize CS and ES.
Result of economic value targets and capital allocation
“Economic value targets”
FY2027 Target | FY2024 Result | FY2025 Result | |
Revenue (Millions of yen) | 2,000,000 | 1,743,352 | 1,830,856 |
Operating profit ratio (%) | 18% or higher | 16.0 | 15.4 |
ROIC (post-tax basis) (%) (Note) | 12% or higher | 10.0 | 9.7 |
(Note) ROIC (post-tax basis) = Operating profit × (1- effective tax rate) ÷ Average invested capital at the beginning and end of the period (Property, plant, and equipment/right-of-use assets/goodwill/intangible assets + inventories + trade receivable - trade payables)
As described in “Business Results and Financial Position”, revenue for the consolidated fiscal year was higher than that of the previous fiscal year, while operating profit ratio and ROIC (post-tax basis) were lower than those of the previous year. The business environment remains uncertain due to rising geopolitical risks, including changes in trade policies in various countries and instability in the Middle East, but the demand for electronic components in the electronics market in which the Companies operate is set to grow over the medium to long term. We will continue to take actions based on the “basic policies” set out in Medium-term Direction 2027 and strengthen our profitability and productivity to meet our economic value targets.
“Capital allocation”
The Medium-Term Direction 2027 sets out the capital allocation policy as illustrated on the right, with the aims of expanding business and maximizing corporate value.
In the consolidated fiscal year, capital expenditures amounted to a cumulative total of 247.8 billion yen. As for strategic investment, the amount for projects already executed and approved amounted to 28.3 billion yen. Shareholder returns amounted to 110.7 billion yen in dividends and 100.0 billion yen in stock repurchases.
In the current market environment, demand for data center-related applications has expanded significantly, reflecting an increase in the number of electronic components installed in AI servers and related peripheral equipment. We will continue investing in our main businesses (Components /Devices and Modules) and aim to steadily generate cash. We will meet stakeholder expectations by providing additional returns to shareholders in a flexible manner in response to the business environment.

- Notes to consolidated financial statements (Going concern assumption)
None
(Reporting entity)Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, the “Company”) is a stock company located in Japan. The Companies’ consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, are composed of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Companies’ interest in associates.
The Companies mainly develop, manufacture and sell electronic components and related products. The Companies’ business is divided into three operating segments: Components (Capacitors, Inductors, EMI suppression filters, etc.), Devices and Modules (RF modules, SAW Filters, Lithium-ion secondary batteries, Sensors, etc.), and Others (Solution business, Medical products, Machinery manufacturing etc.).
(Basis of preparation)Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
The Companies’ consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS pursuant to the provisions of Article 93 of the “Regulation on Terminology, Forms, and Preparation Methods of Consolidated Financial
Statements” (Ministry of Finance Order No. 28 of 1976), as the Companies meet the requirements of a “specified company complying with designated international accounting standards” as stipulated in Article 1-2 of the said regulation.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements of the Companies have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, etc. measured at fair value.
Functional currency and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements of the Companies are presented in Japanese yen, which is the functional currency of the Company, and figures less than one million yen are rounded to the nearest million yen.
(Material accounting policies)Material accounting policies applied in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 are consistent with those applied in the previous fiscal year, except as described below.
(Share-based payments)
From this consolidated fiscal year, the Company has introduced a performance-linked share-based remuneration plan for Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and Outside Directors) and Executive Officers as equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payment plan.
For the portion of the consideration for services received that is an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the Company measures it by reference to the fair value of the Company's shares at the grant date and recognizes it as an expense from the grant date over the vesting period, with a corresponding amount recognized as an increase in equity. For the portion that is a cash-settled share-based payment transaction, the Company measures the liability incurred for services received at fair value and recognizes it as an expense from the grant date over the vesting period, with a corresponding amount recognized as an increase in liabilities.
(Impairment of non-financial assets)Impairment lossesThe Companies assess their non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period for any indication that the assets may be impaired, and if any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated.
The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units is the higher of its value in use or its fair value, less costs to dispose of. The value in use is calculated by discounting estimated future cash flows to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Assets that are not tested individually belong to the smallest cash-generating unit that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets from continuing use of the asset.
The breakdown of impairment losses is as follows:
Impairment losses are recorded under “other expenses” in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Of the impairment losses, 10,352 million yen was recorded for manufacturing machineries, etc. for the MEMS inertial sensor business included in the Devices and Modules segment.
With regard to the MEMS inertial sensor business, the Companies made investments to increase future production primarily for the mobility market. However, with the fact that the advancement of autonomous driving has been slower than initially expected, the Companies calculated the recoverable amount of the relevant cash-generating unit at the end of the previous fiscal year based on the latest business plan. As a result, the recoverable amount of cash-generating unit at the end of the previous fiscal year was deemed to be less than the carrying amounts, and impairment losses were recorded in the amounts of 8,661 million yen for “Machinery and equipment, tools, dies, furniture and fixtures, and autos and trucks,” 1,559 million yen for “Construction in progress,” 31 million yen for “Software” and 101 million yen for “Other intangible assets.”
As the estimated future cash flows used for calculating the value in use, which is the recoverable amount, was negative, the recoverable amount was determined to be zero.
Year ended March 31, 2026
Of the impairment losses, 43,798 million yen was recorded for the business related to SAW filter products comprising the Devices and Modules segment.
With regard to the business related to SAW filter products, with the fact that the shift toward higher-frequency technologies in the telecommunications market has been slower than initially expected, the Companies calculated the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit in this period based on the business plan reflecting the situation. As a result, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was deemed to be less than the carrying amounts, and an impairment loss was recorded in the amounts of 43,798 million yen for “Goodwill.”
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is calculated based on the value in use. The value in use is measured based on past experience and reflecting external information, by discounting the estimated amount of cash flows based on the growth rates and the business plan within five years approved by management to the present value using the discount rate based on the pretax weighted average cost of capital for the cash-generating unit. The pretax discount rate was 12.0% (11.1% for the previous fiscal year).
The growth rates are determined with reference to the long-term average growth rate, expected inflation rate and other factors in the industry or country to which the cash-generating unit belongs. The growth rate was 1.5% (1.5% for the previous fiscal year), and does not exceed the long-term average growth rate of the market.

The Companies have introduced a restricted share remuneration plan for Directors (excluding Directors serving as Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and Outside Directors) and Executive Officers, or employees. Among the shares under the plan, those of which rights have not been confirmed are distinguished as participating equity instruments from common shares. A holder of participating equity instruments has the same rights as a holder of common shares to profit attributable to owners of the parent.
And the Companies have introduced the Performance-linked Share-based Remuneration plan for Directors (excluding Directors serving as Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and Outside Directors) and Executive Officers. For the portion remuneration granted in shares under the system, the weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding has been adjusted to reflect the effects of all dilutive potential shares.
The basis for the calculation of basic earnings per share is as follows:
