In fiscal 2025, net sales increased by ¥68.4 billion year on year to ¥465.0 billion, driven by higher sales in all subsegments and steady execution of large-scale NEXT GIGA projects in Japan's academic sector. Operating profit increased by ¥10.5 billion year on year to ¥44.4 billion as profit increased in all subsegments. The components business achieved higher profit by strengthening its earnings structure, including consolidating and discontinuing unprofitable models. In addition, the smart meter business in India secured a large order, establishing a foundation for business expansion in fiscal 2026.
In fiscal 2026, we plan for net sales of ¥454.0 billion, down ¥11.0 billion year on year. This decrease reflects the scaling down of large NEXT GIGA projects in the academic sector within IT solutions; all other subsegments are planned to increase sales. We plan for operating profit of ¥48.0 billion, up ¥3.6 billion year on year, by steadily executing priority measures, including operational reforms.
