Recent Overview

Recovery driven by higher sales and a sharp increase in profit; the transfer of the Shiohama Plant and reduction-entry accounting will affect extraordinary income/loss in the next fiscal year

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales were ¥21,329 million (up 2.9% year on year) and operating profit was ¥407 million (up 59.9% year on year), marking a substantial recovery. Notable features included a sharp increase in sales in the second quarter, improvement in the gross margin, and a swing to positive operating cash flow (¥1,523 million) due to a decrease in inventories. Deferred tax assets were recognized, resulting in an income tax adjustment of -¥190 million, which boosted net profit. As a subsequent event, in connection with the transfer of the Shiohama Plant (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture), the Company plans to recognize a gain on sale of fixed assets of ¥1,227 million as extraordinary income and a loss on reduction of fixed assets of ¥569 million from reduction-entry accounting as extraordinary loss in the following fiscal year. The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for net sales of ¥21,000 million (down 1.5% year on year) and operating profit of ¥300 million (down 26.3% year on year), reflecting the passing of large-scale projects.

Key Products

product
Broadcast Cameras & Broadcast Systems

Sales centered on large-scale projects and relay vehicle systems for domestic broadcasters and the public racing market. The Company is expanding its lineup with the IP extension unit "IPX-100" and the 4K/HD multipurpose camera "UHL-X40," and is strengthening its proposal capabilities for next-generation broadcast system solutions leveraging IP, cloud, and AI. Also expanding into broadcasters and production companies in North America, the Middle East, and Asia.

product
Security Camera Systems

Sales of surveillance camera systems for the plant market and ITV systems for conductors and drivers in the railway market remained solid. Deliveries of large-scale projects for government agencies, including the Ministry of Defense, contributed to results. The Company positions highly public-oriented markets as its top-priority area and aims to expand sales scale.

product
Medical Cameras & Medical Monitors (Medical Business)

The Company is working to expand its OEM business for endoscope and microscope cameras, primarily overseas, and to acquire new OEM customers. In North America, deliveries to new OEM customers expanded on the back of large-scale medical camera projects. On the other hand, sales declined in Europe due to sluggish demand from microscope OEM customers and delays in plans by new OEM customers, and in China due to economic stagnation and inventory adjustments.

product
Tablet Inspection Equipment & Tablet Printing Equipment (Inspection Equipment Business)

Sales of tablet inspection equipment and tablet printing equipment for the pharmaceutical market progressed favorably. Against a backdrop of growing demand for inspection automation, the Company is working to expand sales of flat-surface inspection equipment and powder inspection equipment for the industrial market. Deliveries of sheet surface inspection equipment in East Asia contributed to results.

product
Helicopter Transmission Systems & Receiving Base Station Equipment

Deliveries of helicopter transmission systems and receiving base station equipment, mainly for government agencies, increased significantly in FY2026 (ending March 2026), contributing to the increase in domestic sales.

Growth Drivers

  • Multiple deliveries of large-scale broadcast system projects for domestic broadcasters and the public racing market, and continued demand for relay vehicle systems
  • Increase in security, helicopter transmission system, and receiving base station equipment projects for government agencies, including the Ministry of Defense
  • Substantial increase in broadcast camera sales in North America (¥980 million, up 62% year on year) and expansion of large-scale projects with new OEM customers for medical cameras
  • Expansion of market share in non-broadcaster markets through sales promotion of the IP extension unit "IPX-100" and the 4K/HD camera "UHL-X40"
  • Expansion of market share for tablet inspection and printing equipment in the pharmaceutical market, and expansion of sales of flat-surface and powder inspection equipment for the industrial market
  • Effective utilization of management resources and improved asset efficiency through the transfer of the Shiohama Plant, and efficiency gains through consolidation of production at the new System Center building
  • Materialization of renewal projects for broadcasters and industrial customers from the next fiscal year onward

Risks

  • Significant seasonal fluctuation risk from sales concentration in the fourth quarter (operating profit is forecast to decline 26.3% in FY2027 (ending March 2027) due to the passing of large-scale projects)
  • Sluggish medical camera sales due to economic stagnation in the Chinese market and continued inventory adjustments by OEM customers (Asia region sales of ¥1,171 million, down 31.6% year on year)
  • Slowdown in medical camera sales, mainly to microscope OEM customers in Europe, and delays in plans by new OEM customers (Europe region sales of ¥1,056 million, down 27.2% year on year)
  • Impact of U.S. trade policy (tariff trends) on the management decisions and procurement costs of Chinese and European medical device manufacturers
  • Impact on procurement from raw material price increases and supply constraints due to geopolitical risks such as escalating tensions in the Middle East
  • Recognition of a ¥569 million loss on reduction of fixed assets as extraordinary loss in the following fiscal year (planned for December 2026) in connection with the transfer of the Shiohama Plant, and a forecast substantial decline in ordinary profit (¥100 million, down 72.1% year on year)
  • Upward pressure on selling, general and administrative expenses from increased R&D spending aimed at developing IP-compatible broadcast system products and acquiring next-generation technology
