Overview of Business Performance for FY2026 First Half
During the first two quarters of Fiscal 2026 (from April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025), the Japanese economy continued its moderate recovery trend as the employment and income environment improved. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to the persistent rising prices as well as other factors such as the direction of trade policy in the United States and fluctuations in the financial and capital markets.
In this environment, although 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, sales increased in the Public Solution-related business due to the increased provision of residential map data, including some advanced deliveries, and an increase in entrusted services. In addition, Stock-type services such as GIS package in the Product Solution-related business remained steady. On the other hand, operating expenses have increased due to factors such as the impact of base salary increases.
As a result, the ZENRIN Group in the first two quarters of Fiscal 2026 reported net sales of 29,523 million yen (an increase of 810 million yen, or up 2.8% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year), operating profit of 83 million yen (improvement of 358 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year), ordinary profit of 388 million yen (improvement of 730 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to increase in dividend income and foreign exchange effect), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 260 million yen (improvement of 377 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, partially impacted by the absence of the gain on sale of shares of subsidiaries recorded in the previous fiscal year).
It should be noted that while fixed costs, such as map database development expenses, are incurred throughout the year, expenses generally precede net sales due to the strong seasonal nature of net sales, which tend to be concentrated at the end of the fiscal year.
Information by business segment is omitted because the ZENRIN Group's reportable segment is a single segment.

Overview of Financial Position for FY2026 First Half
Total assets at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 amounted to 70,576 million yen (decreased 3,396 million yen, or down 4.6%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year) reflecting a decrease in notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors.
Liabilities amounted to 21,977 million yen (decreased 2,148 million yen, or down 8.9%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year). While advances received increased, income taxes payable decreased due to the payment of income taxes, accounts payable - trade decreased due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors, and short-term loans payable also decreased.
Net assets amounted to 48,599 million yen (decreased 1,248 million yen, or down 2.5%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year) reflecting a decrease in retained earnings, etc. due to dividends of surplus.
As a result, the ratio of equity to total assets at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 was 68.8% (up 1.4 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 the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 stood at 12,326 million yen (decreased 1,579 million yen, or down 11.4%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year).
Cash Flows from Operating ActivitiesNet cash provided by operating activities amounted to 4,265 million yen (decreased 593 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year). This was attributable to an increase in inventories of 593 million yen, a decrease in trade payables of 554 million yen, income taxes paid in the amount of 1,396 million yen and other factors for decrease, being offset by the recording of profit before income taxes of 458 million yen, decreases in trade receivables of 3,690 million yen, depreciation of 2,787 million yen, an increase in advances received of 1,202 million yen, and other factors for increase.
Cash Flows from Investing ActivitiesNet cash used in investing activities amounted to 3,967 million yen (increased 1,335 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year). This was attributable to purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the amount of 2,509 million yen, purchase of investment securities in the amount of 1,035 million yen, purchase of shares of subsidiaries resulting in a change in the scope of consolidation in the amount of 704 million yen, and other factors.
Cash Flows from Financing ActivitiesNet cash used in financing activities amounted to 1,837 million yen (decreased 1,337 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year). This was attributable mainly to a net decrease in short-term borrowings of 450 million yen and dividends paid of 1,072 million yen.
