Recent Overview
Increased sales of Bag-Feed Automatic Packaging Machines and expansion of overseas orders drove a 26.7% year-on-year increase in sales and a 32.0% increase in profit.
In the cumulative nine months of the third quarter of FY2026 (ending July 2026) (August 2025 to April 2026), sales increased centered on the flagship Bag-Feed Automatic Packaging Machine, along with a contribution from increased overseas orders, resulting in net sales of ¥6,978 million (up 26.7% year on year). Although selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to enhanced investment in exhibitions, development, and human capital, the effect of higher sales led to operating profit of ¥871 million (up 32.0% year on year), and the operating margin improved to 12.5%.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Increased sales performance of flagship products centered on the Bag-Feed Automatic Packaging Machine
- Acceleration of global expansion through an increase in overseas-bound projects (overseas sales via Chinese and U.S. subsidiaries)
- Steady trend in customers' capital expenditure demand in the domestic market (automation and labor-saving needs)
- Expansion of the solutions business and promotion of development of labor-saving and environmentally friendly products under the 7th Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2024 ending July 2024 to FY2026 ending July 2026)
- Accumulation of order backlog, with order backlog of ¥5,812 million at the end of the prior fiscal year (up 8.3% year on year)
Risks
- Increased selling, general and administrative expenses due to enhanced investment in exhibitions, development, and human capital, pressuring profit
- Significant quarterly performance fluctuations due to uneven timing of revenue recognition on orders and the presence or absence of large-scale projects
- Continued rise in procurement prices and labor costs
- Uncertainty going forward due to uncertainty in U.S. trade policy and geopolitical risks (Eastern Europe, Middle East situations)
- Demand from customers for diverse and sophisticated needs and intensifying price competition
