I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our shareholders for your continued support.

I am delighted to report an overview of the consolidated fiscal year (from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025).

During the consolidated fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy, supported by favorable corporate earnings, witnessed a steady increase in business investment, despite concerns over U.S. tariff hikes in the latter half of the year. The employment and income environment continued to enhance, contributing to an ongoing gentle recovery phase. Meanwhile, the overseas economies have concerns related to downward pressure arising from deteriorating U.S. and China economies due to tariff hikes. Additionally, unresolved geopolitical risks, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, continued to cast uncertainty over future prospects.

Amid this business environment, the Group has been working to further strengthen our management base, and to develop and expand the sale of products that contribute to increasing our earnings.

As a result, net sales for the consolidated fiscal year were 35,663 million yen (up 6.4% from the previous year). In terms of profit, operating profit was 4,895 million yen (up 16.6%), ordinary profit was 5,210 million yen (up 17.0%), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was 3,870 million yen (up 16.3%).

The Group intends to quickly establish a foundation for further growth and to build a strong management structure to overcome the severe environment in which the Group is operating.

Finally I would once again like to thank all our shareholders for their continued support.
