It produces and sells automotive parts such as HMI Products, Smart System, Seatbelt, and Shift Lever domestically, with Toyota Motor Corporation as its primary customer (net sales to Toyota of ¥139,286 million in the current period, 21.6% of consolidated net sales).

Recent Overview

Net sales increased, but the operating loss widened due to higher fixed costs and a large impairment loss

In the Japan segment for the current consolidated fiscal year (April 2025 to March 2026), net sales increased by ¥18,116 million (5.9%) year on year to ¥325,788 million, driven by an increase in customer production volumes. On the other hand, despite rationalization efforts, the operating loss widened to ¥1,426 million, a deterioration of ¥460 million year on year, due to an increase in fixed costs. In addition, an impairment loss of ¥3,219 million was recorded (prior period: ¥375 million) as the book value of certain business assets was written down to their recoverable amount, reflecting harsh conditions in some businesses. Production results were ¥262,628 million (up 6.4% year on year), and sales results were ¥259,592 million (up 5.4% year on year).

Button module kits for arcade controllers are also offered. This is part of the new business domain within the growth strategy of the medium-term management plan "TRV2030."

Growth Drivers

  • Increase in customer production volumes, including at Toyota Motor Corporation (net sales to Toyota of ¥139,286 million in the current period)
  • Enhanced added value through new product development such as "Hidden Switch"
  • Deployment of new technologies and products such as child-left-behind detection systems utilizing UWB technology
  • Expansion into new business domains such as gaming devices under the ZENAIM brand
  • Strengthening supply chain competitiveness based on the medium-term management plan "TRV2030" (improving utilization rates through introduction of general-purpose equipment)

Risks

  • Pressure on profitability due to increased fixed costs (operating loss for two consecutive periods)
  • Expansion of impairment losses amid deteriorating business conditions (¥3,219 million in the current period versus ¥375 million in the prior period)
  • Risk of sales concentration with Toyota Motor Corporation (21.6% of consolidated net sales)
  • Risk of rising interest rates due to normalization of domestic monetary policy
  • Risk of fluctuations in the procurement environment for semiconductors and critical minerals, etc.
