It is the core business, accounting for approximately 77.6% of consolidated net sales.

Recent Overview

Driven by Information Systems and North American Parking Systems, sales increased, but profit declined slightly due to the reversal of new banknote-related special demand

In the Time & Information Systems Business for FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales were ¥136,925 million (up 0.8% year on year), and segment profit was ¥22,064 million (down 3.4% year on year). Information Systems continued to see steady domestic software update demand, reaching ¥41,631 million (up 4.2% year on year). In Parking Systems, domestic equipment, maintenance, and supplies sales declined due to the reversal of special demand related to new banknote compatibility (equipment sales down ¥2,094 million, maintenance/supplies down ¥2,593 million), but Amano McGann in North America achieved a full-year profit and significant profit increase due to new product effects, while South Korea saw increased sales as demand recovered following the stabilization of political turmoil. Time Management Equipment sales declined both domestically and overseas, totaling ¥2,251 million (down 7.6% year on year).

• Impact on Asian business from stagnation in the Chinese economy and heightened geopolitical risks
• Risk of decreased yen-denominated sales in Hong Kong Parking Systems due to foreign exchange effects
