The company raised full-year revenue guidance to JPY 96.0bn from JPY 94.0bn, while operating profit jumped to JPY 8.0bn from JPY 6.2bn. Ordinary income (keijo rieki), a Japan-specific metric that includes non-operating financial items, climbed to JPY 18.0bn from JPY 15.0bn. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was lifted to JPY 15.0bn from JPY 12.3bn, with earnings per share rising to JPY 543.77 from JPY 445.89.

Management attributed the upward revision to stronger-than-expected demand for high-value-added semiconductor manufacturing equipment products driven by favorable industry conditions. Additionally, performance from affiliates accounted for under the equity method has benefited from expanded demand for semiconductor-related products, contributing to the improved outlook.

The revision signals that Nitta’s core business is capturing meaningful upside from the semiconductor sector’s current strength. The 29.0% increase in operating profit indicates margin expansion, suggesting improved cost management and operational leverage as the company scales production to meet elevated demand. International investors should note that ordinary income encompasses financial income and expenses beyond core operations, making it distinct from operating profit metrics used in Western accounting standards.
