Recent Overview
Net sales and all profit items declined year on year, impacted by a significant decrease in sales related to automobiles and automotive components
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales were ¥29,061 million (down 7.9% year on year) and operating profit was ¥1,494 million (down 11.3% year on year). While demand for AI semiconductors remained solid, capital investment by automotive-related companies was sluggish due to the slowdown in EV market growth and uncertainty over U.S. tariff policy, and automotive power semiconductors were also affected by supply chain inventory adjustments. Overseas, sales of industrial robots to China remained solid. Operating cash flow turned positive at ¥3,228 million due to a significant decrease in trade receivables (¥4,323 million). For FY2027 (ending March 2027), net sales are projected at ¥32,000 million (up 10.1% year on year) and operating profit at ¥1,730 million (up 15.8% year on year).
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Solid demand for AI semiconductors driven by the spread of generative AI and expanding data center investment
- Expansion of FA Equipment sales driven by demand for automation and labor-saving at manufacturing sites amid rising labor costs and labor shortages
- Solid sales of industrial robots to customers related to electronic components for various devices in China
- Steady capital investment demand from automotive and automotive component-related customers driven by the spread of HVs and ADAS
- Development of new sales markets and discovery of high-value-added products based on the medium-term management plan "Next Stage 2028"
Risks
- Sluggish capital investment by automotive-related companies due to uncertainty over the outlook for U.S. tariff policy
- Weak demand for automotive power semiconductors due to supply chain-wide inventory adjustments amid slowing EV market growth
- Risk that demand for general-purpose memory for smartphones and PCs will only recover gradually
- Continued concerns over a slowdown in the Chinese economy and prolonged geopolitical risks (such as the situation in the Middle East)
- Foreign exchange fluctuation risk (occurrence of foreign exchange losses)
- Concerns over economic downturn due to soaring energy and raw material prices
