Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Oct 2025 was ¥304.1B, down -1.4% from ¥308.4B.
  • Profits recovered sharply anyway: operating income rose from ¥365M to ¥3.39B, and net income from ¥1.97B to ¥8.42B.
  • Net income got an extra lift from gains on selling shares it held, on top of the better core business.
  • Operating cash flow was ¥12B and free cash flow was ¥3.25B.

What drove the change

  • Major customers cut production in North America and Europe, which pulled revenue down
  • Operating income improved after the company closed or shrank sites in North America, China and Asia, and a one-off equipment problem at a North American subsidiary last year was resolved
  • Selling shares held for business-relationship reasons produced a one-time gain that boosted net income

Things to watch

  • As cars move to by-wire systems (electric signals replacing mechanical links), it is uncertain whether new products can stay as competitive as its control cables
  • Sharp moves in exchange rates could hit results and the balance sheet
  • Big swings in the price of steel and resin, its main materials, could affect earnings
