Financial Forecast

Looking at our consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, we anticipate an increase in net sales of ¥680,000 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 and power supplies, as well as measures to revise sales prices. On the other hand, with the continued uncertainty due to events such as the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, there are downside risks to our performance.
We forecast fiscal 2026 operating income of ¥63,000 million, Ordinary income of ¥61,000 million, and Profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥39,500 million. This represents projected record highs for both sales and all levels of profit.
