Recent Overview

The company continued to focus on short-lead-time, high-margin products, but the plan fell behind, resulting in year-on-year declines in both revenue and profit

For the full year of FY2026 (ending March 2026), as in the prior year, the company focused on selling short-lead-time, high-margin products, but the plan fell slightly behind schedule. Revenue was ¥1,303 million (down 8.3% year on year), and segment profit was ¥257 million (down 14.5% year on year), with segment profit margin declining from 21.1% to 19.7%. An impairment loss on fixed assets in the Brand Business of ¥523 thousand was recorded (a reduction from ¥1,505 thousand in the prior period).

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Revenue structure reform through a focus on short-lead-time, high-margin products

• Providing differentiated solutions through the proprietary 'Brand First' framework
• A policy environment promoting growth investment support for mid-tier enterprises as a national policy (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's mid-tier enterprise growth promotion policy)

Risks

• Risk of declining revenue and profit margin due to prolonged production periods and plan delays (plan shortfalls continued in FY2026 (ending March 2026))
