  1. Summary of Business Results of the Quarterly Consolidated Period

    Regarding the global economy in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, despite intensified signs of a slowdown stemming from U.S. tariff policies, it remained on a moderate recovery path, supported by fiscal expansion and policy measures implemented by various countries. The U.S. economy, although experiencing a slowdown in personal consumption due to rising prices, remained firm, supported by solid corporate capital investment. Meanwhile, the European and Chinese economies also showed signs of recovery, driven by fiscal stimulus measures.

    In the Japanese economy, although corporate capital investment showed positive momentum, overall, it entered a pause phase due to increasing uncertainty in the export environment and lackluster personal consumption stemming from sluggish real income growth amid rising prices.

    Looking ahead to prospects for the global economy, despite downside risks such as uncertainty surrounding trade negotiations and heightened geopolitical tension, we anticipate it will remain on a recovery trajectory, backed by the economic policies of individual countries. As for the Japanese economy, while a continued recovery in inbound demand and increased capital investment aimed at addressing labor shortages are expected, we anticipate that the overall trend will remain weak, due to sluggish growth in real wages and a delayed recovery in personal consumption. Under this environment, building toward "What we want to be in 2030" that we set forth in the Long-Term Vision 2030, the Group will continue to focus on implementing various initiatives with an awareness of capital cost, as well as strengthening management control, in addition to fully delivering on the initiatives under the Mid-Term Management Plan 2025 started in fiscal 2021. As a business group contributing to finding solutions to social issues, we will continue to strive to further advance our sustainability activities including the achievement of carbon neutrality.

    Orders received by the Group for the three-month period were up 6.5% year on year to ¥70,781 million, while net sales decreased 1.7% year on year to ¥65,317 million.

    Regarding profit, operating profit decreased 19.8% year on year to ¥3,280 million, and ordinary profit decreased 28.1% year on year to ¥4,354 million, while profit attributable to owners of parent decreased 29.6% year on year to

    ¥4,496 million.

    Segment results are summarized as follows:

    [Chains]

    In the Chains segment, despite increased sales in Japan, the Americas, Europe, and the Indian Ocean Rim, net sales decreased year on year due to foreign exchange rates and other factors.

    The segment recorded a year-on-year increase of 9.1% in orders received to ¥24,762 million, and a year-on-year decrease of 1.2% in net sales to ¥23,365 million. Regarding profit, operating profit declined by 16.2% year on year to ¥3,227 million due to the impact of U.S. tariffs and other factors.

    [Motion Control]

    In the Motion Control segment, net sales were up year on year due to an increase in sales in Japan, the Americas, Europe, the Indian Ocean Rim, and China.

    The segment recorded year-on-year increases of 3.6% in orders received to ¥5,696 million, and 8.4% in net sales to

    ¥5,843 million. As a result, operating profit grew 38-fold to ¥114 million.

    [Mobility]

    In the Mobility segment, net sales increased year on year due to factors such as an increase in the sales of timing chain systems for automobile engines and other items at bases in Japan, the Americas, Europe, and China.

    The segment recorded year-on-year increases of 2.5% in orders received to ¥22,449 million, 2.2% in net sales to

    ¥22,358 million, and 38.0% in operating profit to ¥2,096 million.

    [Materials Handling Systems]

    In the Materials Handling Systems segment, net sales declined year on year, as sales increases of powder and grain conveyance systems in the Indian Ocean Rim and systems for the construction machinery industry and newspaper

    printing plants in Japan were offset by factors including the decline in sales in the Americas of systems for the automotive industry as well as metalworking chip handling and coolant processing systems.

    The segment recorded an increase in orders received of 9.2% year on year to ¥17,279 million and a decrease in net sales of 12.0% year on year to ¥13,150 million, resulting in an operating loss of ¥634 million (operating loss in the same period of the previous fiscal year was ¥558 million).

    [Other]

    Although orders received increased 3.1% year on year to ¥593 million, and net sales increased 3.0% year on year to

    ¥600 million, the segment recorded an operating loss of ¥179 million (operating loss in the same period of the previous fiscal year was ¥197 million).

  2. Summary of Financial Position in the Quarterly Consolidated Period

    (Assets)

    Total assets as of June 30, 2025 were ¥360,304 million, down ¥11,205 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year.

    Current assets totaled ¥186,823 million, a decrease of ¥6,489 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was partly due to a decrease of ¥4,215 million in "Notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets" and a decrease of ¥3,054 million in "Cash and deposits," despite an increase of ¥1,111 million in inventories due to an increase in "Work in process" and other inventory items.

    Non-current assets amounted to ¥173,481 million, down ¥4,715 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. The decrease was partly attributable to a ¥2,862 million decrease in "Investment securities" owing to the sale of securities held by the Company and other factors, a ¥1,135 million decrease in "Property, plant and equipment," and a ¥283 million decrease in "Intangible assets."

    (Liabilities)

    Total liabilities as of June 30, 2025 were ¥107,161 million, down ¥2,186 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was attributable to various factors such as a ¥2,468 million decrease in "Provision for bonuses" and a ¥1,225 million decrease in "Income taxes payable," which outweighed a ¥785 million increase in "Other current liabilities" and a ¥731 million increase in "Notes and accounts payable - trade."

    (Net assets)

    Net assets as of June 30, 2025 were ¥253,143 million, down ¥9,018 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, and the equity ratio was 69.6%. This was attributable to numerous factors, including an increase (decrease in net assets) of ¥4,003 million in "Treasury shares" due to share purchases, a ¥3,747 million decrease in "Foreign currency translation adjustment" due to exchange rate fluctuations, and a ¥587 million decrease in "Valuation difference on available-for-sale securities."

  3. Outlook

With respect to the consolidated financial results forecasts for the (cumulative) second quarter and full year of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, there are no changes at this time from the forecasts announced on May 14, 2025.
