In the second half of the fiscal year, the business environment is expected to continue recovering in the industrial robot market as well as in the advanced semiconductor manufacturing market, driven by the expansion of data centers and the rising demand associated with generative AI. In contrast, recovery in the automotive market is expected to remain modest, and the emerging AI robot market is projected to take more time before entering a full-fledged growth phase. Against this backdrop, we recognize that the Group’s overall orders are continuing to recover.
In FY2025—the second year of the current Medium-Term Management Plan for FY2024−FY2026, which sets forth “Taking on the challenge of value creation and transformation” as its basic policy—we have seen progress not only in strengthening our profit structure but also in proactively expanding collaborations and joint development with new partners. These measures have helped us establish a solid foundation to support future growth. In addition, a new companywide cost innovation project launched last fiscal year is driving the development of a resilient corporate structure capable of generating sustainable earnings through cost improvements while preserving added value. By executing strategies that balance proactive, growth-oriented initiatives with risk management and stabilizing measures, we aim to enhance corporate value over the medium to long term.
We kindly ask our shareholders for your continued and unwavering support.
December 2025
Akira Maruyama President and Representative Director
