Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Expansion of orders for Defense Systems Products driven by sustained and increased defense budgets
• Increase in net sales through steady recognition of the accumulated order backlog (¥29,657 million)
• Expansion into existing areas and acquisition of new areas through strengthened manufacturing capabilities (QCD improvement) and proactive proposal activities
• Expansion of business domains and strengthened competitiveness through the promotion of R&D
• Improvement in segment profit through increased net sales and continued efforts to enhance profitability

Risks

• Risk of decreased orders due to changes in defense budget policy or shifts in government policy
• Uncertainty in man-hour estimates for contracts satisfying performance obligations over a period of time (risk of contract losses)
• Risk of revenue concentration in specific customers (NEC Corporation, Fujitsu Limited, Sumisho Aero Systems Co., Ltd.)
• Impact on procurement and supply chains from geopolitical risks (such as the situation in the Middle East) and US trade policy
• Challenges in securing production capacity and personnel amid the substantial increase in order backlog
