Executive Summary

FY2026 Q2 cumulative results delivered strong revenue and profit growth: Revenue ¥920.9B (YoY +¥147.1B +19.0%), Operating Income ¥156.6B (YoY +¥61.8B +65.1%), Ordinary Income ¥171.4B (YoY +¥72.2B +72.9%), Net income attributable to owners of parent ¥125.0B (YoY +¥58.2B +92.4%), with all major metrics showing substantial increases. Gross margin improved from 41.2% in the prior-year period to 43.5% (+2.3pt), SG&A ratio declined from 28.9% to 26.5% (-2.4pt), and Operating Margin expanded from 12.3% to 17.0% (+4.7pt). By region, Japan, Americas, Europe & Africa, and Asia all recorded double-digit revenue growth, with Asia (Revenue +31.1%, Operating Income +93.3%) and Europe & Africa (Revenue +25.2%, Operating Income +111.4%) leading profit growth. Operating Cash Flow was ¥165.4B (YoY +26.9%) and Free Cash Flow ¥107.0B, but working capital pressure from inventory buildup weighed on cash flow. Progress against the full-year forecast stands at 49.8% of revenue, 52.2% of Operating Income, and 59.5% of Net Income, roughly in line with norms for the period, and the company has implemented an upward revision to its initial forecast.

業績変動要因

【売上高】Revenue reached ¥920.9B (YoY +19.0%), a significant increase. By region: Japan ¥416.4B (+11.9%), Americas ¥207.9B (+21.3%), EuropeAndAfrica ¥225.0B (+25.2%), Asia ¥251.6B (+31.1%), with all segments posting double-digit growth. The Japan segment accounts for the largest share at 45.2% of revenue and 38.6% of Operating Income, remaining the core business. The overseas ratio was 54.8%, with notable growth in Asia (27.3% share) and Europe & Africa (24.4% share). Drivers of revenue growth included demand recovery in Automotive, General Machinery, and Semiconductor-related sectors, price revisions and mix shift toward higher-value-added products, and a weaker yen. Inter-segment sales increased to ¥180.0B (¥141.2B prior-year, +27.4%), indicating more active intra-group transactions.

【損益】Cost of sales rose to ¥520.6B (¥455.3B prior-year, +14.3%) with higher revenue, but growth lagged revenue (+19.0%), resulting in Gross Profit of ¥400.3B (+25.7%) and Gross Margin improvement to 43.5% (41.2% prior-year, +2.3pt). SG&A was controlled at ¥243.7B (+9.0%), less than half the rate of revenue growth, reducing the SG&A ratio to 26.5% (28.9% prior-year, -2.4pt) and enabling operating leverage. Operating Income expanded to ¥156.6B (+65.1%), with an Operating Margin of 17.0% (12.3% prior-year, +4.7pt). Non-operating income was ¥17.8B (¥9.9B prior-year), mainly comprising interest received ¥4.6B (¥5.0B prior-year), foreign exchange gains ¥2.6B, and other non-operating income ¥9.9B (¥4.2B prior-year). Non-operating expenses declined to ¥3.0B (¥5.5B prior-year), with interest expense stable at ¥1.1B (¥1.2B prior-year). Ordinary Income rose to ¥171.4B (+72.9%), outpacing Operating Income growth. Extraordinary items were net +¥1.6B (extraordinary gains ¥2.3B, including ¥1.7B gain on sale of investment securities; extraordinary losses ¥0.7B), so one-off effects were minor. Profit before tax was ¥173.0B, with income taxes ¥44.5B (effective tax rate 25.7%). Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was ¥3.5B, leaving Net income attributable to owners of parent ¥125.0B (+92.4%). In summary, demand recovery across regions, price and mix improvements, and absorption of fixed costs drove the strong top- and bottom-line performance.

セグメント別分析

Japan: Revenue ¥416.4B (+11.9%), Operating Income ¥63.8B (+56.5%), Margin 15.3% (11.0% prior-year, +4.3pt). Price adjustments in the core market and fixed-cost absorption drove margin improvement. Americas: Revenue ¥207.9B (+21.3%), Operating Income ¥34.7B (+75.9%), Margin 16.7% (11.5% prior-year, +5.2pt). Demand recovery and pricing strategy were effective, with profit growth far outpacing revenue. EuropeAndAfrica: Revenue ¥225.0B (+25.2%), Operating Income ¥22.9B (+111.4%), Margin 10.2% (6.0% prior-year, +4.2pt). Although the margin remains the lowest among segments, the improvement is the largest, indicating notable profitability catch-up. Asia: Revenue ¥251.6B (+31.1%), Operating Income ¥43.4B (+93.3%), Margin 17.3% (11.7% prior-year, +5.6pt). Asia recorded the highest growth rates and margin improvements, serving as the driver of the regional portfolio. All segments achieved double-digit revenue growth and Operating Margin improvements of +4–6pt YoY, reflecting simultaneous regional diversification and margin expansion.

主要財務指標

【収益性】Operating Margin 17.0% (12.3% prior-year, +4.7pt), Net Margin 13.6% (8.4% prior-year, +5.2pt) improved substantially. ROE is 6.3%, decomposed as Net Margin 13.6% × Total Asset Turnover 0.329 × Financial Leverage 1.37x. Gross Margin 43.5% (+2.3pt) and SG&A ratio 26.5% (-2.4pt) show improvements at both top- and bottom-line levels. 【キャッシュ品質】Operating Cash Flow (OCF) ¥165.4B exceeds Net Income ¥128.5B, with OCF/Net Income of 1.29x, indicating good cash realization of profits. Accrual ratio is -1.4%, healthy, but OCF/EBITDA 0.75x is somewhat low due to inventory buildup. 【投資効率】Total Asset Turnover 0.329x is moderate for manufacturing. Inventory ¥413.0B (¥410.9B prior-year, +0.5%) is nearly flat, but DIO is high, leaving room to improve inventory efficiency. CapEx/Depreciation 0.88x suggests restrained, replacement-focused investment. 【財務健全性】Equity Ratio 72.8% (67.5% prior-year, +5.3pt), Debt/Equity 4.2% (Interest-bearing debt ¥78.9B, Net assets ¥1,917.0B) denotes ultra-low leverage. Current Ratio 510.1%, Quick Ratio 378.4% indicate very strong liquidity, with Cash and Deposits ¥567.5B on hand. Debt/EBITDA 0.36x and Interest Coverage 142x demonstrate robust financial resilience.

キャッシュフロー分析

Operating Cash Flow was ¥165.4B (¥130.4B prior-year, +26.9%). Pre-tax profit ¥173.0B plus non-cash charges including Depreciation ¥64.8B (¥61.1B prior-year) and goodwill amortization ¥4.2B produced an operating cash flow subtotal (before working capital changes) of ¥203.5B (¥154.9B prior-year, +31.4%). In working capital, inventory increase -¥42.7B (¥-1.9B prior-year) and trade receivables increase -¥4.8B (¥+3.2B prior-year) were cash outflows, while trade payables increase +¥16.8B (¥-3.4B prior-year) was a cash inflow, partially offsetting the working capital pressure. Corporate tax payments -¥42.1B (¥-30.7B prior-year) rose with higher profits, but final OCF remained at ¥165.4B, exceeding net income. Investing Cash Flow was -¥58.4B (¥-83.0B prior-year), mainly CapEx -¥57.3B (¥-80.9B prior-year), showing a restrained investment pace YoY. Financing Cash Flow was -¥81.6B (¥-122.8B prior-year), consisting principally of dividend payments -¥49.3B (¥-27.2B prior-year), long-term debt repayments -¥9.8B (¥-41.8B prior-year), and dividends to non-controlling interests -¥8.8B. Free Cash Flow was ¥107.0B (OCF ¥165.4B - Investing CF ¥58.4B), and the FCF dividend coverage was 2.17x, indicating ample dividend funding. Cash and cash equivalents at period-end rose to ¥521.3B (opening ¥480.1B, +¥41.2B), further strengthening liquidity.

収益の質

Of Ordinary Income ¥171.4B, Operating Income ¥156.6B constitutes the majority, indicating a high degree of recurring earnings. Non-operating income ¥17.8B is 1.9% of revenue and small in scale; it mainly comprises interest received ¥4.6B and foreign exchange gains ¥2.6B, so dependence on one-off income is low. Extraordinary items were net +¥1.6B (extraordinary gains ¥2.3B, extraordinary losses ¥0.7B), only 1.2% of Net Income ¥128.5B, so one-time impacts are minor. The gap between Ordinary Income ¥171.4B and Net Income ¥125.0B is mainly due to income taxes ¥44.5B (effective tax rate 25.7%) and is not structural. Operating Cash Flow ¥165.4B exceeds Net Income ¥128.5B, with OCF/Net Income 1.29x and accrual ratio -1.4%, showing good cash backing of profits. However, OCF/EBITDA 0.75x is suppressed by inventory increases; improving inventory levels to enhance cash conversion will be a future focus. Comprehensive Income ¥164.8B exceeds Net Income ¥128.5B, with Other Comprehensive Income ¥36.3B mainly from translation adjustments ¥32.1B and valuation differences on securities ¥3.8B, reflecting foreign subsidiaries’ valuation gains from a weaker yen.

業績予想・ガイダンス

Full-year forecast: Revenue ¥1,850.0B (YoY +15.2%), Operating Income ¥300.0B (+47.6%), Ordinary Income ¥320.0B (+43.1%), Net income attributable to owners of parent ¥210.0B, EPS ¥255.60, Dividend ¥76.00. Progress of the Q2 cumulative period relative to the full-year forecast is: Revenue 49.8% (¥920.9B/¥1,850.0B), Operating Income 52.2% (¥156.6B/¥300.0B), Net Income 59.5% (¥125.0B/¥210.0B), slightly ahead of the standard 50% first-half pace. Profit progress exceeding revenue is supported by gross margin improvement, SG&A restraint producing operating leverage, and increased non-operating income. The company revised its forecast upward in this quarter to reflect improved demand and sustained price/mix effects. The second half is assumed to be Revenue ¥929.1B (roughly the same scale as the first half ¥920.9B) and Operating Income ¥143.4B (a slowdown from the first half ¥156.6B), possibly reflecting seasonality or a conservative scenario. At present, progress is on track, and the likelihood of achieving the full-year targets is high.

株主還元

The interim dividend was ¥39 per share (¥28 prior-year, +¥11). Full-year dividend forecast is ¥76 (¥56 prior-year, +¥20), implying a payout ratio of 29.7% against full-year EPS ¥255.60, a reasonable level. Total dividend paid in the first half was ¥49.3B (¥27.2B prior-year), representing a payout ratio of 39.4% against Net Income ¥125.0B. FCF coverage of dividends is 2.17x (FCF ¥107.0B / dividends ¥49.3B), indicating ample coverage, and with Cash and Deposits ¥567.5B the dividend sustainability is high. Share buybacks were almost nil this period (Financing CF -¥0.02B; prior-year -¥50.0B), so shareholder returns are dividend-focused this fiscal year. Because a large share buyback of ¥50B was executed in the prior-year period, total shareholder return (dividends + buybacks) was higher then; this period returns are delivered via dividends only. Given profit growth and a strong balance sheet, scope for future dividend increases remains.

リスク要因

1. Inventory Risk: Inventory ¥413.0B represents 44.8% of revenue, with work-in-progress ¥93.6B, raw materials ¥143.3B, and finished goods included in the ¥413.0B figure, and inventory is at a high level. Inventory buildup has depressed OCF by -¥42.7B and restrained OCF/EBITDA to 0.75x. In a demand slowdown, there is risk of discount pressure, obsolescence, or impairment, leading to a prolonged cash conversion cycle. Improving inventory turnover days is the top short-term KPI.

2. Business Cycle Risk: Major customer industries include Automotive, General Machinery, and Semiconductor-related sectors, which are sensitive to capital expenditure cycles and demand variability. Regionally, Asia accounts for 27.3% of revenue and Europe & Africa 24.4%, totaling 54.8% overseas exposure; regional economic swings will directly affect performance. Foreign exchange volatility (translation adjustment ¥32.1B recorded in comprehensive income) is also a source of earnings volatility.

3. Profitability Maintenance Risk: Operating Margin 17.0% improved via pricing and fixed-cost absorption, but raw material cost increases (e.g., carbide powders, coating materials) or aggressive pricing by competitors could compress gross margins. Europe & Africa segment margin 10.2% is lower than other regions (Japan 15.3%, Americas 16.7%, Asia 17.3%), and sustaining profitability catch-up there remains a challenge. While SG&A ratio improved to 26.5%, if revenue growth slows, operating leverage could reverse and fixed costs may weigh on profits.

決算上の注目ポイント

1. Price/mix improvements and realization of operating leverage expanded Operating Margin from 12.3% in the prior-year period to 17.0% (+4.7pt), delivering profitability well above the industry median of 8.8%. Concurrent Gross Margin +2.3pt and SG&A ratio -2.4pt reflect price revisions and fixed-cost absorption, suggesting structural enhancement of earnings power. All segments improved Operating Margin by +4–6pt YoY, and the simultaneous regional diversification and margin expansion reduce single-market concentration risk and support sustainable profitability.

2. Inventory accumulation is a drag on cash conversion, with OCF/EBITDA 0.75x below the industry standard of 0.9x. Inventory ¥413.0B equals 44.8% of revenue and inventory increases depressed OCF by -¥42.7B. Increased trade payables +¥16.8B partially offset this, but in a demand downturn risks of discounting and impairments may crystallize. Improving inventory days and working capital efficiency are key to further raising ROE (6.3%) and expanding shareholder return capacity.

3. A very healthy balance sheet (Equity Ratio 72.8%, Debt/EBITDA 0.36x, Cash & Deposits ¥567.5B) ensures financial resilience in downturns and provides room for growth investment or additional shareholder returns. Payout Ratio 29.7% and FCF coverage 2.17x indicate dividend sustainability, and continued profit growth could enable dividend increases. First-half progress against the full-year forecast is on plan (Revenue 49.8%, Operating Income 52.2%, Net Income 59.5%), and the company has already revised guidance upward; the probability of achieving full-year targets is high. In the second half, attention should focus on inventory reduction to improve OCF and continued profitability catch-up in Europe & Africa (margin 10.2%).
