The company attributed the upward revision to stronger-than-expected performance in memory probe cards, particularly for DRAM applications. Expanded production capacity is delivering results ahead of plan, with newly installed equipment ramping up smoothly. Revenue is now projected at JPY 45.7bn, up JPY 1.8bn from the prior forecast, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit with non-operating items—climbs JPY 900M to JPY 12.7bn.
The net profit attributable to parent company shareholders surged 12.2% to JPY 9.20bn, the largest percentage gain among all metrics, signaling that equipment investments are delivering outsized profitability gains. Earnings per share rose to JPY 237.33 from JPY 211.75. The revision underscores accelerating demand in the memory semiconductor sector and Micronics Japan’s ability to capitalize on capacity expansion investments. International investors should note that ordinary income differs materially from operating profit due to Japan-specific financial income and expense items.
