  1. Summary of Consolidated Business Performance for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025
    1. Consolidated net sales: ¥18,694 million, down 7.7% YoY

      Despite continued sluggish sales of domestic road maintenance equipment, sales bottomed out in

      North American and Asian markets.

    2. Operating profit: ¥683 million, down 50.0% YoY

      Operating profit declined due to a decrease in net sales, the impact of U.S. tariff policies, and ongoing increases in purchasing costs.

    3. Profit: ¥477 million, down 66.7% YoY

      Drop off from the gain on sale of investment securities of ¥280 million recorded in the same period in

      the previous fiscal year.

    4. Sales in Japan: ¥8,769 million, down 7.6% YoY

      Although sales of core roller products continued to recover, sales of road maintenance equipment

      declined significantly.

    5. Sales in North America: ¥4,694 million, down 5.5% YoY

      Sales bottomed out to a significant decline in demand caused by the introduction of tariff policies.

    6. Sales in Asia: ¥4,580 million, down 2.9% YoY

    Although sales remained sluggish in Indonesia and China, sales trended upward in Vietnam and

    Malaysia, etc. 2

  2. Adapting to a Changing Business Environment
    1. Initiatives for enhancing the profitability of capital

      1. Progress of medium-term management policy

        Five-year medium-term management policy: Net sales of ¥30.0 billion, operating profit of ¥3.10 billion, ROE of 8.0%

        Results for the fiscal year two years prior (third year): Net sales of ¥33.0 billion, operating profit of ¥3.31 billion, ROE of 9.0% Results for the previous fiscal year (fourth year): Net sales of ¥27.8 billion, operating profit of ¥1.58 billion, ROE of 4.9% Forecast for the current fiscal year (fifth year): Net sales of ¥28.0 billion, operating profit of ¥1.25 billion, ROE of 3.0% Results for nine months ended December 31, 2025: Net sales of ¥18.6 billion, operating profit of ¥0.68 billion, ROE of 2.1%

      2. Progress of enhancing corporate value (PBR above 1)

      At the end of March 2024: PBR 0.98 times (Share price ¥3,340) ← Share split considered At the end of March 2025: PBR 0.61 times (Share price ¥2,142)

      At the end of December 2025: PBR 0.59 times (Share price ¥2,095)

    2. Profit structure reform through sales price revisions, high added value, and efficiency

      Cost-of-sales ratio: 72.1%, deterioration of 1.4% YoY・・・U.S. tariffs and ongoing increases in purchasing costs

    3. Increased investment in human capital

      1. Wage improvement and stabilized employment: Rise in wages (5.1% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, 6.0% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, 6.0% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026), and improvements to personnel systems

      2. Increasing on-site skilled laborers and improving working environments: Increase factory and service area employees (establish Nadeshiko Group, a

        female-only workforce unit), and establish healthy working environments (installation of factory air conditioning systems).

      3. Personnel system reform: Introduce internal recruitment and transfer request systems, and actively hire referrals and alumni.

    4. Dealing with volatile demand

      Inventory turnover: 2.16 times, down 0.05 times/2% YoY・・・Inventories: ¥13.0 billion → ¥12.1 billion

      Currently strengthening adjustments to optimize inventory levels, as the Construction Machinery Market entered a period of adjustments amid slowdowns in the world economy.

    5. Response to North American tariffs

      1. Tariff costs of ¥200 million for the second half of the year have been factored into full-year performance forecasts

      2. Sales prices revised from October orders onward to pass on costs

      3. Currently preparing supply chain revisions 3

  3. Mid- to Long-Term Growth Strategy
    1. Make more significant inroads into the Asian market:

      Expand the ASEAN market centered on our Indonesian hub (sales development in mine and pavement markets)

    2. Expand the scope of overseas business:

      Develop the overseas market for road maintenance equipment (increase in ODA initiatives, start local production, completion of standardization of the cement and asphalt emulsion stabilizer method in Indonesia)

    3. Pursue business opportunities in North America:

      Increase our market share through niche marketing (strengthen technical sales with differentiated products)

    4. Develop next-generation businesses:

      Focus on market development for emergency brakes, compaction management systems, and Automatic Cutter Control System.

      Commercialization of autonomous rollers and EV rollers started (sales development for general civil engineering contractors)

  4. Outlook for Business Environment
    1. Global Construction Machinery Market

      Although a phase of adjustment continues in the short term, potential demand for construction machinery is expected to remain stable in the medium to long term due to factors such as the Mid-term Plan for the Implementation of National Resilience and the doubling of defense buildup budget in Japan, large-scale infrastructure investment plans in the U.S., infrastructure investment and mine development becoming active in emerging countries, together with renewal of aging infrastructure and response to increasingly severe natural disasters. As a result, the Global Construction Machinery Market is expected to bottom out through an economic cycle.

    2. Adapting to a Changing Business Environment

With power taking precedence over international law in reshaping international order, particularly between the U.S. and China, the global geopolitical environment remains uncertain.

Under these circumstances, the Group will respond to U.S. tariffs and modify our China-related supply chain, as well as strengthen our profit structure and human organizational capabilities, rebuild our competitive strategy, and engage in activities to raise the level of manufacturing quality with the goal of further solidifying the foundations of our management

during this period of demand adjustment to build our corporate structure in preparation for the market recovery period. 4
