Consolidated Financial Results for the First Half Ended September 30, 2025 : Sales by Business Group

Y/Y change

Reagents: Amid the ongoing global downturn in the life sciences research market, sales declined due to factors including reduced U.S. government research funding and the economic slowdown in China.

Instruments: Sales of PCR related instruments (Japan) and single cell analysis systems (U.S.) decreased.

Regenerative medicine products: Sales increased driven by vector manufacturing contracts and quality testing contracts.

Gene analysis/ testing: Sales declined due to weak demand from large-scale projects and a significant drop in genome analysis service orders

Gene Therapy: AM Products (mRNA Vaccine-Related) grew, but overall sales declined due to lower sales of RetroNectin➃.

Change

For exchange

Ratio (Exchange excluded)

With limited market growth primarily in academia, sales of research reagents remained stagnant, while increased sales were driven by testing kits. While basic research remains sluggish due to the impact of government policies, B2B sales have increased. Despite rising inquiries for Spatial products, order volumes have not increased accordingly. Sales of OEM/Customized Products are favorable. Both Research-use/Catalog products and OEM/Customized products showed subdued performance, primarily due to intensified competition and inventory adjustments following changes in the distributor network. Refrain from purchasing due to the effect of the delay in the payment of the government’s research budget. Sales increased due to higher sales of NGS-related reagents.

Regarding the Acquisition of Curio Bioscience

  • In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026,

    Trends in the Number of Academic Papers approximately ¥2 billion increase in expenses

    expected due to the acquisition

  • Spatial analysis is expected to continue as a key trend within NGS, following transcriptomics and single-cell analysis. It is a field with strong growth potential, The technology acquired through the acquisition of Curio Biosciences Inc. is capable of supporting multi-platform and multi-omics applications.

  • Although the Company had anticipated expanding sales of new spatial products through its group’s global distribution network, primarily in the U.S., however, the downturn in the research market—driven by reductions in U.S. research grants—has been more severe than expected. As a result, sales of spatial products are anticipated to fall short, with an estimated achievement rate of 30% against the group’s sales target of ¥2 billion.

Consolidated Financial Forecast for the year ending March 31, 2026 (Revised)

Y/Y change

Reagents: Japan, U.S., Europe, South Korea, and India are expected to show y/y growth, while China is projected to see a significant decline due to the impact of last year’s distributor network restructuring, the economic downturn, and intensifying competition with local companies.

Instruments: Sales declined y/y due to a decrease in

single-cell analysis system sales and other factors.

Contract Manufacturing for Regenerative Medicine Products: Despite a projected decrease in vector manufacturing contracts, overall sales is expected to grow, driven by increased demand for cell processing and quality testing services.

Contract Services for Genetic Analysis and Testing: Sales are expected to decline due to sluggish movement of large-scale budgets and a decrease in orders for genome analysis services.

Gene Therapy:Sales of AM products are expected to grow, but overall sales are projected to decline due to anticipated reduced demand for RetroNectin➓.

SG&A expenses:

Expenses related to the acquisition of Curio Bioscience Inc. and goodwill amortization are within expectations. By reviewing personnel structure, prioritizing and focusing R&D, and striving to reduce administrative costs, the projected amount is ¥25,891 million.

Operating profit:

Expenses Estimated at ▲¥4,000 million.

Ordinary profit:

The initial forecast anticipates a ¥4,400 million decrease by recognizing as non-operating expenses the ¥440 million change in the time value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Curio Bioscience Inc., which was previously included in SG&A expenses.

Net income attributable to owners of parent:

Recording an impairment loss of ¥3,870 million on contract manufacturing equipment and partially writing down deferred tax assets resulted in an estimated ¥9,000 million loss.

FY2026

Forecast (Revised)

Y/Y

Comparison with May 13 forecast

Sales vs. Initial Forecast †

Reagents: Significant shortfall expected due to U.S. government research grant cuts, October government shutdown, China’s economic downturn, and intensified competition with local companies (Spatial products were expected to grow significantly in the second half but are now projected to fall far short).

Instruments: Due to a decline in sales of single-cell analysis systems and other factors, performance is expected to fall short of the target

Contract Manufacturing for Regenerative Medicine Products : The market for regenerative medicine, cell therapy, and gene therapy has not grown as expected, and the significant impact of missed new orders is leading to an anticipated shortfall.

Contract Services for Genetic Analysis and Testing:The significant impact of reduced revenue from genome analysis services in the first half has led to a decrease compared to the forecast.

Dividends Policy

The Company considers returning profits to shareholders to be an important management issue, while paying attention to enhancing internal reserves in order to actively implement R&D activities. The basic policy is to return profits to shareholders based on a comprehensive consideration of our operating results and financial position. Beginning in FY 2024, its dividend policy aims for 35% of net income assumed, calculated without any extraordinary gains or losses in the consolidated financial statements.
