By segment, the general industrial business saw strong performance and exceeded company expectations, recovering to near historical peak levels excluding the FY2022 period of excess demand. The automotive-related segment remained strong, while the consumer and mobile segment continued to be stable. However, the smartphone segment was weak during the period. For the full year ending March 2026, HRS revised its sales forecast to JPY 205.00 billion and its operating profit forecast to JPY 41.00 billion. The company’s net profit for the previous fiscal year was JPY 24.81 billion. Earnings per share for the previous fiscal year stood at JPY 738.35. Rising material costs, particularly metals, continued to put pressure on profits from the second quarter.

The shareholder’s equity ratio remained high at 88.3% as of the third quarter.
