  1. Analysis of Business Performance
    1. Overview of Business Performance for Fiscal 2026
      1. Business Performance for Fiscal 2026

        In Fiscal 2026 (from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), the Japanese economy experienced a moderate recovery trend, supported by improvements in employment and income environment. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to the persistent rising prices as well as other factors such as the direction of trade policy in major countries and increasing geopolitical risks, including the situation in the Middle East, which are affecting the financial and capital markets.

        In this environment, despite an increase in sales in the Public Solution-related business due to increases in the provision of residential map data and in entrusted services that occurred up to the first half of the year, there was a temporary decrease in net sales in the Mobility Solution-related business compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, along with a decrease in sales of data for in-car navigation systems, resulting in net sales being at the same level as in the previous fiscal year. On the other hand, operating expenses increased due to factors such as increases in personnel expenses and cost of sales resulting from changes in sales composition.

        As a result, the ZENRIN Group reported business performance in Fiscal 2026 as follows: net sales of 64,277 million yen (decreased 86 million yen, or down 0.1% compared to the previous fiscal year), operating profit of 3,502 million yen (decreased 420 million yen, or down 10.7% compared to the previous fiscal year), and ordinary profit of 3,866 million yen (decreased 69 million yen, or down 1.8% compared to the previous fiscal year). Profit attributable to owners of parent was 2,738 million yen (increased 132 million yen, or up 5.1% compared to the previous fiscal year).

        The reasons for the year-on-year improvement in ordinary profit compared to that of operating profit are due to the share of profit (loss) of entities accounted for using equity method, foreign exchange effects, and other factors.

        Information by business segment is omitted because the ZENRIN Group's reportable segment is a single segment.

      2. Forecast for Fiscal 2027

      As for the outlook for Fiscal 2027, while the Mobility Solution-related business is expected to continue facing a challenging business environment, revenue is anticipated to increase due to further expansion of stock-type services, including package products, strengthening of solution sales, and the introduction of new products. On the other hand, an increase in the cost of sales associated with revenue growth, growth investments for the construction of Advanced Geospatial Database, and higher operating expenses, such as personnel expenses due to continued base salary increases, are also expected.

      The forecast of consolidated results for Fiscal 2027 expects net sales of 66,000 million yen (an increase of 1,722 million yen, or up 2.7% compared to the current fiscal year), operating profit of 3,600 million yen (an increase of 97 million yen, or up 2.8% compared to the current fiscal year), ordinary profit of 3,900 million yen (an increase of 33 million yen, or up 0.9% compared to the current fiscal year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 2,500 million yen (a decrease of 238 million yen, or down 8.7% compared to the current fiscal year).

      The reason for the decrease in profit attributable to owners of parent compared to ordinary profit is due to factors such as the recording of a gain on sale of investment securities as extraordinary income during Fiscal 2026.

    2. Overview of Financial Position for Fiscal 2026
  1. Overview of Fiscal 2026

    Total assets at the end of Fiscal 2026 amounted to 72,014 million yen (decreased 1,958 million yen, or down 2.6%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year) reflecting a decrease in investment securities due to decreases in market valuation and other factors.

    Liabilities amounted to 23,111 million yen (decreased 1,014 million yen, or down 4.2%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year) reflecting a decrease in income taxes payable and other factors.

    Net assets amounted to 48,903 million yen (decreased 944 million yen, or down 1.9%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year) reflecting a decrease in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities as a result of market valuation of investment securities, despite the recording of profit attributable to owners of parent.

    As a result, the ratio of equity to total assets at the end of Fiscal 2026 was 67.9% (up 0.5 points compared to the end of the previous fiscal year).

    The followings outline the status of cash flows in Fiscal 2026.

    Cash and cash equivalents at the end of Fiscal 2026 stood at 11,536 million yen (decreased 2,369 million yen, or down 17.0%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year).

    Cash Flows from Operating Activities

    Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to 7,112 million yen (decreased 2,528 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year). This was attributable to profit before income taxes in the amount of 4,081 million yen, income taxes paid in the amount of 1,806 million yen, loss on sale of investment securities in the amount of 352 million yen, a decrease in trade payables of 299 million yen, and other factors of decrease, being offset by depreciation in the amount of 5,449 million yen and other factors for increase.

    Cash Flows from Investing Activities

    Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 6,588 million yen (increased 1,427 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year). This was attributable to purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the amount of 5,275 million yen, purchase of investment securities in the amount of 1,305 million yen, and other factors of decrease.

    Cash Flows from Financing Activities

    Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 2,902 million yen (decreased 937 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year). This was mainly attributable to dividends paid in the amount of 2,199 million yen, repayments of long-term borrowings in the amount of 506 million yen, repayments of lease liabilities in the amount of 195 million yen, and other factors of decrease.
