The company attributed the upward revision to first-quarter consolidated results that significantly exceeded initial demand assumptions in its equipment division’s semiconductor-related business. Based on current order trends, management raised full-year guidance across all profit metrics. The forecast assumes an exchange rate of 151 yen per US dollar.
The revision reflects robust momentum in semiconductor equipment demand, with operating profit and ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit and non-operating items—both climbing 16.3 percent. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders increased 16.6 percent to JPY 19.0bn. Earnings per share rose to JPY 284.29/share from JPY 243.89/share. The company also raised its annual dividend per share by 17.9 percent to JPY 112.00/share, consistent with its stated policy of maintaining a 40 percent dividend payout ratio while delivering stable shareholder returns.
