Qualitative information about the quarterly results

Operating results
During the three months of this fiscal year (April 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025), the global economy remained uncertain due to the manifestation of geopolitical risks such as the U.S. tariff policy and prolonged conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East.
As for the demand for automatic control equipment, in the semi-conductor and electrical machinery-related industries, even though there was a sign of demand recovery for the electrical machinery-related industry in Greater China, the demand did not reach a full-scale recovery for the semi-conductor-related industry in the regions including Japan, North America, and South Korea. In the automotive-related industry, although EV-related demand recovered in Greater China, capital investments continued to hold back in other regions due to the U.S. tariff effect. Machine tool-related industry showed strength in Greater China, however, other regions remained to be in an adjustment phase. Sales to medical equipment-related, food machinery-related, and other industries remained sluggish, despite new post-covid demand for automation.
Under these circumstances, the SMC Group has continued to make aggressive worldwide capital investments to strengthen its supply capability. The Group has also continued to address issues such as enforcing direct and distributor sales, promoting diversification of products and customers, improving productivity in product development and utilizing its global human resources.
Within the business environment described above, the summary of consolidated business results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is as follows:
Net sales were 200,180 million yen (decreased by 1.3%, yoy).
Operating profit was 44,456 million yen (decreased by 15.1%, yoy), mainly caused by the increase in cost ratio and depreciation.
Ordinary profit was 49,115 million yen (decreased by 28.1%, yoy), mainly due to the increases in foreign exchange losses.
Profit before income taxes was 49,512 million yen (decreased by 27.3%, yoy) , and profit attributable to owners of parent was 34,641 million yen (decreased by 28.9%, yoy).
