Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Mar 2026 grew +9.4%, from ¥316.9B to ¥346.8B.
  • Operating income rose much faster, up +46.9% from ¥20.6B to ¥30.3B, and net income climbed +30.3% to ¥31.1B.
  • Free cash flow slipped -7.2%, from ¥16.1B to ¥15B.

What drove the change

  • Watch sales were strong in North America, helped by global sub-brands, Bulova, growing online direct sales and higher average prices.
  • Machine tools benefited from strong semiconductor-related demand in China and steady medical-sector orders in the Americas and Europe.
  • Net income absorbed charges for prior-year tariffs, but gains on selling investment securities and a review of deferred tax assets offset them.

Things to watch

  • The low-priced analog quartz market is shrinking, and competition from Chinese makers is pushing down movement prices.
  • Machine tool sales depend on business investment cycles and raw material costs.
  • Most sales come from outside Japan, so regional economies and exchange rates affect results.
