Recent Overview
Steadily captured demand related to generative AI, resulting in a significant year-on-year increase in both sales and operating profit.
For the full year of FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales to external customers reached ¥409,478 million (up 12.3% year on year), and segment profit reached ¥42,787 million (up 18.0% year on year), representing significant growth in both revenue and profit. While the EV-related field remained sluggish, capital expenditure demand related to generative AI remained solid, and the effect of the planned development and release of new products tailored to customer needs in each region also contributed. Although there was an impact from upfront investment for future growth and rising material and logistics costs, this was absorbed by the substantial increase in sales.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued capture of capital expenditure demand related to generative AI and semiconductors (solid performance is expected to continue throughout FY2027 as well)
- Expanding capital expenditure demand in the secondary battery field
- Strengthened competitiveness through the planned development and release of new products tailored to customer needs in each region
- Strengthening distributor partnerships and promoting customer-oriented initiatives
- Accelerating growth investment based on the mid-term roadmap "SF 2nd Stage" (FY2026–FY2030)
- Steady execution of plans for the growth of the 13 focus businesses
Risks
- Continued stagnation in capital expenditure demand related to the EV field
- Downward pressure on gross profit margin due to rising raw material prices and higher logistics costs
- Negative impact on sales and operating profit from U.S. tariff policy
- Potential for the global economy to be significantly affected depending on developments in the Middle East situation (highly uncertain business environment)
- Short-term pressure on profit due to expanding upfront investment for future growth
- ROIC and ROE remaining below the cost of capital, with the rebuilding of the profit and growth base still in progress
