Overview of Operating Results, etc.

 

(1) Business Results

 During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, concerns over geopolitical
risks persisted due to developments in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as
heightened attention to monetary policies in various countries and tariff
policies involving the United States and other countries. In the high-tech
market, rapid technological advancements and active investments were observed
across a wide range of fields related to generative AI.

In our business, working within this business environment, market conditions
in the automotive-related business softened, and in the semiconductor-related
business, the recovery in general-purpose memory that had been expected in the
second half was shifted. Meanwhile, demand related to next-generation
high-speed communications remained at a high level throughout the fiscal year,
and from the fourth quarter, a significant increase in production commenced
due to the full-scale launch of a successor model.

As a result, consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026
increased 3.7% from the previous fiscal year to 74,476 million yen. Operating
profit decreased by 7.2% from the previous fiscal year to 24,976 million yen,
ordinary profit was decreased by 2.6% from the previous fiscal year to 26,321
million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by 5.6%
from the previous fiscal year to 18,163 million yen.

In addition, at the end of the fiscal year, there had been a delay in the
recovery of general-purpose memory and a temporary decline in yield during the
ramp-up of certain new products, and both issues have now been resolved.

In the fourth quarter, a significant increase in production commenced due to
the launch of a next-generation high-speed communication-related successor
model, resulting in record-high quarterly sales and profits.

Looking ahead, while the global economic environment is expected to remain
uncertain due to geopolitical risks such as the situation in the Middle East,
we will continue to steadily focus on strengthening our business foundation
toward the achievement of our medium-term plan targeting net sales of 100
billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2029.

 

Sales and profits by segment are as follows.

 

(Ceramic Components Business)

In the automotive-related business, market conditions softened, and in the
semiconductor-related business, the recovery in general-purpose memory that
had been expected in the second half was delayed. Meanwhile, demand related to
next-generation high-speed communications remained at a high level throughout
the fiscal year, and from the fourth quarter, a significant increase in
production commenced due to the full-scale launch of a successor model.

As a result, consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026
increased 2.1% from the previous fiscal year to 63,797 million yen, and
segment profit decreased by 9.3% from the previous fiscal year to 24,573
million yen.

 

(Lighting Equipment Business)

This segment performed strongly, supported by increasing demand for LED
lighting driven by the government's target of fully transitioning from
fluorescent lighting to LED lighting by 2030, as well as growing demand for
office renovation projects. Sales of high value-added lighting for offices and
LED lighting installation projects for public facilities remained strong. In
addition, high-end lighting for the luxury new condominium market also
performed robustly.

As a result, consolidated net sales for the first nine months of the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2026 increased 14.1% from the same period of last year
to 10,679 million yen, and segment profit increased 49.0% from the previous
fiscal year to 2,141 million yen.

 

(2) Financial Conditions

(Assets)

Current assets at the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, totaled 103,175
million yen, an increase of 2,885 million yen from the end of the previous
fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in raw materials and supplies.
Fixed assets totaled 59,515 million yen, up 17,520 million yen from the end of
the previous fiscal year. This was due to an increase in construction in
progress.

As a result, total assets amounted to 162,691 million yen, up 20,405 million
yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

 

(Liabilities)

Current liabilities at the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026,
amounted to 14,856 million yen, up 923 million yen from the end of the
previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in accounts payable.
Fixed liabilities came to 571 million yen, up 73 million yen from the end of
the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in deferred tax
liabilities.

As a result, total liabilities amounted to 15,428 million yen, up 997 million
yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

 

(Net Assets)

Total net assets were 147, 262 million yen at the fiscal year ended March 31,
2026, up 19,408 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was
due to profit attributable to owners of parent company of 18,163 million yen.

As a result, the equity ratio was 90.5% (89.9% at the end of the previous
fiscal year).

 

(3) Overview of Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the current consolidated fiscal year
decreased by 4,581 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year,
totaling 66,986 million yen.

The cash flow status for the fiscal year is as follows.

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to 16,933 million yen, a
decrease of 8,418 million yen from the previous fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 21,757 million yen, an
increase of 14,074 million yen from the previous fiscal year.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 1,216 million yen, a
decrease of 296 million yen from the previous fiscal year.

 

(4) Future Outlook

In the outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, the global economic
environment is expected to remain uncertain due to geopolitical risks such as
the situation in the Middle East, and therefore we have set our guidance
conservatively, taking these risks into account.

Current outlook by segment is as follows.

In the tele communication-related business, demand for a successor model
related to next-generation high-speed communications is expected to grow
further. To respond to the significant increase in demand, we will strengthen
our production capacity through the commencement of operations at a new
building at the Seto Plant.

In the automotive-related business, amid moderating growth in the new energy
vehicle market, we aim to achieve growth by further expanding our market share
through differentiated products. At the same time, to further enhance
profitability, we will strengthen our earnings by introducing AI and robotics.

In the semiconductor-related business, demand for general-purpose memory is
expected to expand in earnest from the second half of the fiscal year. To meet
robust demand, we will enhance our production capacity through the start of
operations at two new buildings at the Miharu Plant.

In the industrial equipment-related business, demand related to power modules
is expected to remain firm, while demand for new products in the medical field
is expected to increase.

In the lighting equipment-related business is expected to perform strongly,
supported by increasing LED demand driven by the government's target of fully
transitioning from fluorescent lighting to LED lighting by 2030. Both public
and high-end lighting are expected to show solid performance.

As we expect to continue achieving record-high performance, the dividend for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, is scheduled to be increased by 8 yen,
the same as in the previous fiscal year, resulting in a planned dividend of
110 yen per share.

The foreign exchange rate is based on the assumption of 153 yen to the U.S.
dollar.
