Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Domestic expansion of Transmission Parts sales (¥3,189 million in FY2026, ending March 2026)
- Increased orders for xEV Parts driven by rising domestic demand
- Cost reduction through productivity improvement activities (improving operating margin)
- Maintenance and enhancement of production capacity through increased capital expenditures (from ¥339 million to ¥348 million year on year)
Risks
- Medium- to long-term decline in demand for pulleys for internal combustion engines due to progress in vehicle electrification
- Impact on the automobile market from changes in U.S. tariff policy (explicitly noted as a potential cause for revisions to earnings forecasts)
- Risk of rising energy and commodity prices due to escalating international tensions and expanding regional conflicts
- Risk of fluctuations in customer demand accompanying accelerated business restructuring in the automotive industry driven by the expansion of the electrified vehicle market
