| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 21.0bn | JPY 22.4bn | +6.7% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 1.20bn | JPY 2.50bn | +108.3% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 1.20bn | JPY 2.70bn | +125.0% |
| Net Profit (interim) | JPY 800M | JPY 1.90bn | +137.5% |
| EPS (interim) | JPY 16.62/share | JPY 39.47/share | +JPY 22.85/share |
For the six-month interim period ending September 2026, the company raised revenue guidance to JPY 22.4bn from JPY 21.0bn, while operating profit more than doubled to JPY 2.50bn from JPY 1.20bn. Ordinary income (keijo rieki), a Japan-specific metric encompassing operating profit plus non-operating items, surged 125% to JPY 2.70bn. Full-year revenue is now forecast at JPY 45.5bn versus JPY 44.0bn previously, with operating profit climbing 35% to JPY 5.0bn and ordinary income rising 39.5% to JPY 5.30bn.
Management attributed the upward revision to stronger-than-expected sales of precision tools serving the electronics, semiconductors, and machinery industries. Improved factory utilization rates have amplified profitability gains beyond revenue growth alone. Additionally, yen depreciation has generated favorable foreign exchange gains, bolstering bottom-line results.
The revision signals accelerating operational leverage, with profit growth substantially outpacing revenue expansion. The company’s exposure to cyclical industrial demand appears well-positioned amid current market conditions, though investors should monitor currency volatility and sector-specific demand trends for sustainability of these improvements.
