First, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our shareholders and investors, for your continued support.
This is to inform you of our Company’s Consolidated Business Result for the first half of 47th fiscal year (the period from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025). On this occasion, we would like to say a few words.
During this period, the economy was stable as a result of slowing inflation. However, concerns about the future increased significantly due to prolonged geopolitical risks in Europe and the Middle East, as well as the United States' tariff policies. On the other hand, we implemented strategic measures aimed at expanding our business scale, and business activities progressed favorably.
In particular, on the sales front, we effectively captured the robust demand for machinery and molds driven by strong demand for plastic containers. Our small and medium-sized machines saw favorable trends in both orders and sales. Additionally, in molds and parts, we achieved record-high orders and sales for the first half period. This demonstrated our company's strength in offering one-stop services from manufacturing to after support.
As a result, orders received and sales for this half period both reached record highs, and profit also significantly exceeded that of the previous period.
Going forward, the demand for our products based on the living necessities is prospected to show steady growth, and we will strive to further expand our business scale with our outstanding technology and sales strategy.
We also recognize that responding to social issues such as climate change is an important responsibility for us. We will continue to promote environmental initiatives throughout our value chain, and aim to realize a sustainable society through our products, which have strengths in environment-conscious technologies.
We hope our shareholders and investors will look forward to our Company’s further growth, and we would greatly appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
