Looking at our consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, we anticipate an increase in net sales of ¥600,000 million, driven by increased sales of lithium-ion batteries for electrified vehicles such as plug-in hybrid vehicles and hybrid vehicles, as well as increased sales in regular field such as ESS and in emergency field power supplies.
We plan on responding to the various cost increases, such as personnel expenses and logistics costs by continuing to promote efforts to increase sales of automotive batteries and industrial battery power supplies, as well as measures to revise sales prices.
On the other hand, with the implementation of U.S. tariff policies, the outlook remains uncertain, and there are downside risks, particularly for overseas business locations. Taking this all into account, we expect operating profit of ¥51,000 million, ordinary profit of ¥49,000 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥33,000 million. Moreover, these forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 equate to record-high sales and profits at all levels.
