1. Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025

   During this fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the business environment showed a gradual recovery, supported by improvements in employment and income levels, as well as the effects of various policies. However, risks such as the impact of U.S. trade policies and ongoing price increases in Japan that pressure personal consumption created headwinds for the economy. As a result, the outlook remains uncertain.

   In the electronics industry, the demand for consumer devices like smartphones and PCs showed signs of recovery but lacked strength. As a result, demand for logic semiconductors and memory remained limited. On the other hand, the rapid spread of generative AI became a key growth driver in the semiconductor market. Demand for AI-related products, particularly packaging substrates and high-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in AI servers and data centers, clearly boosted the overall market. In the automotive sector, although demand was somewhat supported by the adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and connected vehicle technologies, several factors constrained growth, including U.S. tariffs and changes in EV policies in Europe and the U.S.

   In a market environment where demand for semiconductors surged, driven by generative AI, our group experienced consistent growth in demand for high-value-added tools and high-layer board tools. To meet this demand, we leveraged our strengths in internal manufacturing equipment and enhanced collaboration across production sites to expand production capacity and secure supply capabilities. Although we faced significant costs from large-scale capital investments and the development of production systems, increased sales of these high-margin tools contributed substantially to our profitability. Consequently, we achieved notable growth in both sales and profits compared to the same period last year.

   Our net sales for this fiscal year were ¥40,165 million (YoY +23.2%), a new record high. Operating profit was ¥8,728 million (YoY +26.9%), ordinary profit ¥8,136 million (YoY +14.1%), and profit attributable to owners of parent ¥6,114 million (YoY +15.7%). Operating profit and profit attributable to owners of parent both reached record highs.

   In Japan, demand in the generative AI-related market increased, and steady demand for our products persisted. At the Nagaoka Plant, a production site for high-value-added tools, we prioritized large-scale capital investment as well as infrastructure upgrades and renovations within the plant to enhance the production systems. Net sales in this segment were ¥25,906 million (YoY +15.5%), and the operating profit was ¥4,214 million (YoY -15.5%).

   In Asia (excluding Japan), demand for packaging substrates and high-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in AI servers and data centers increased, particularly in China and Taiwan. This growth in demand significantly improved profitability by enhancing operational efficiency at our local production sites.

   Net sales in this segment were ¥24,259 million (YoY +33.0%), and the operating profit was ¥3,150 million (YoY +107.7%).

   In North America, net sales were ¥2,037 million (YoY +0.9%), and operating profit amounted to ¥89 million (YoY -48.3%). In Europe, net sales and operating profit were ¥2,527 million (YoY +12.8%) and ¥114 million (YoY -40.7%), respectively.

2. Consolidated Financial Forecast and Other Forward-Looking Statements

The future of our business environment remains uncertain due to changes in financial policies, complex international situations, and U.S. policy trends. However, there is strong and steady demand for our group's high-quality products in the semiconductor market, and we expect this demand to continue. Moving forward, we will stay alert to the rapidly changing external environment and shifts in demand. To capture growth opportunities, we will accelerate efforts to strengthen our supply system and aim for further business expansion.
