Executive summary

  • Net sales for FY2026/3 reached ¥200.8 billion, up 6.5% year-over-year, driven by strong product revenue growth, especially in automotive, data center, and industrial sectors, despite a decline in Chinese telecom demand.

  • Operating income declined 50.6% year-over-year to ¥12.4 billion due to a significant drop in product gross margin and higher costs during early mass production phases.

  • Net income fell 55.4% year-over-year to ¥8.7 billion, reflecting margin pressures and increased costs.

  • The company continued its transformation, focusing on high-growth areas and strengthening global partnerships, especially in automotive, data center, and networking.

  • R&D costs decreased 2.2% year-over-year to ¥58.5 billion, with ongoing investments in advanced technologies and chiplet platforms.

Financial highlights

  • Product revenue increased by ¥15.2 billion (+10.4% YoY) to ¥161.8 billion, while NRE revenue declined by ¥2.7 billion (-6.6% YoY) to ¥38.3 billion.

  • Product gross margin dropped to 31.4% from 42.3% in the prior year, mainly due to higher costs and product mix changes.

  • Operating margin decreased to 6.2% from 13.3% year-over-year.

  • Cash on hand declined by ¥28.3 billion to ¥44.5 billion, while inventories increased by ¥14.0 billion to ¥31.1 billion.

Outlook and guidance

  • Growth expected from expanded mass production in automotive and data center products, with a foreign exchange assumption of 130 yen/USD.

  • Product gross margin expected to slightly decrease due to higher share of large-scale projects and elevated costs, but revenue growth is anticipated to offset margin pressure.

  • R&D and SG&A ratios are expected to improve due to leverage from higher net sales.

  • Dividend per share maintained at ¥50.00.

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.
