Business Performance Forecast

For the first six months of the fiscal year under review, although the Communications Systems Business in the Safety & Security Sector was affected by component supply shortages, the Mobility & Telematics Services Sector performed above expectations.

In response to the U.S. tariff measures, we have been taking both short-term actions — such as passing on costs through price adjustments, reducing sales of China-made products, and cutting expenses — and medium- to long-term measures, including production site relocation and investment review, to minimize the overall impact on earnings.

In the previous full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, announced on May 1, 2025, we incorporated the estimated negative impact of the U.S. tariff measures at approximately JPY 13.0 billion in revenue and JPY 5.0 billion in operating profit. However, as a result of the aforementioned initiatives, the negative impact is now expected to be mitigated to around JPY 9.8 billion in revenue and JPY 3.7 billion in operating profit for the full year.

From the third quarter onward, production and sales are projected to decline compared to previous expectations, reflecting a delay in the timing of recovery production in the Communications Systems Business due to the prolonged component supply shortage.

Based on the above, we have revised upward the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March, 2026, announced on May 1, 2025.

Forecasts by business sector are presented as follows.

• Core operating income for the Mobility & Telematics Services Sector and the Entertainment Solutions Sector is expected to exceed the previous forecast
• For the Safety & Security Sector is projected to fall below

* Core operating income is calculated by deducting cost of sales, selling and general administrative expenses from revenue, and does not include other income, other expenses, and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are nonrecurring items that mainly occur temporarily.

M&T: Sales volumes of products such as display audio systems are expected to decline due to the impact of the U.S. tariff measures, but the impact is expected to be mitigated, by sales of products whose production is transferred from China starting in H2.

S&S: While demand in the North American public safety market remains strong for the Communications Systems Business, production and sales are expected to decline, reflecting the recovery timing of production following the resolution of component supply shortages being slightly delayed.

ES: Although production and shipments of headphones and earphones, which had been temporarily restrained, have partially resumed, sales volumes are expected to decline due to market deterioration and price pass-through. On the other hand, the Entertainment Business continues to perform steadily.
