| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 11.6bn | JPY 13.6bn | +17.2% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 1.58bn | JPY 2.50bn | +58.2% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 1.35bn | JPY 2.70bn | +100.0% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益 | JPY 1.01bn | JPY 1.85bn | +83.2% |
| １株当たり当期純利益 | JPY 118M | JPY 217M | +83.7% |
The company attributed the upward revision to accelerating procurement activity among semiconductor equipment manufacturers following improved order intake from the second quarter onward. Server and data center demand for high-performance semiconductors remains steady, supported by continued AI and cloud-related capital expenditure. Additionally, improved production utilization rates are driving gross margin expansion, while foreign exchange gains (recorded as non-operating income) in the third quarter contributed to ordinary income (keijo rieki), which jumped 100% to JPY 2.70bn.
The revision underscores the cyclical strength in semiconductor capital equipment as chipmakers ramp capacity. Adtec’s year-end dividend is being raised 50% to JPY 18.00/share from JPY 12.00/share, signaling management confidence in sustained profitability. International investors should note that ordinary income in Japan includes non-operating items such as forex gains and differs materially from operating profit, making it a key metric for assessing total earnings quality in Japanese financial statements.
