Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Achieved record-high H1 net sales of ¥29,285 million (+4.6% YoY), operating profit of ¥6,620 million (+5.7% YoY), and net profit of ¥4,774 million (+7.7% YoY), driven by strong core product performance, expansion in new therapeutic areas, and partial bad debt recovery.
Growth was supported by increased AF case volume, robust EP/Ablation and Cardiovascular segments, and high growth in Neurovascular and GI, offsetting a slight decline in Cardiac Rhythm Management.
Negative impacts included faster-than-expected PFA adoption, reimbursement price revisions, and competitive pressure in pacemakers.
Financial highlights
Gross profit margin declined to 60.0% (down 60bps YoY) due to a shift toward lower-margin procured products; operating margin rose to 22.6% (up 20bps YoY); net margin reached 16.3% (up 50bps YoY).
EPS increased to ¥68.08 (+10.0% YoY), aided by share buybacks and cancellations.
Operating profit increase was driven by sales and cost factors (+¥593 million), offset by SG&A factors (-¥234 million).
Q2 FY3/2026 also saw record-high quarterly sales and profits, with net profit up 18.0% YoY.
Comprehensive income was ¥4,667 million (down 0.3% YoY).

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
