Greetings and sincerest thanks to all of Nichiden’s shareholders and investors for your faithful support.
Summary of Nichiden’s Business Performance for the 75th Term
(The 75th term is the period from April 1, 2025 until March 31, 2026.)
The Japanese economy during the fiscal year under review experienced downward pressure on production and exports from such factors as U.S. tariff policies and China’s rare earth export controls, but remained on a moderate recovery trend amid robust inbound tourism demand, extraordinary demand driven by record-breaking heat, and improvements in income conditions. Meanwhile, with heightened geopolitical risks and shifts in international circumstances, the future remains uncertain.
In the machinery and equipment-related industries in which the Nichiden Group operates, while some categories such as production machinery and transportation machinery experienced decline, progress in tariff negotiations with the United States has eased excessive concerns, and signs of recovery have emerged in production machinery and other areas. Attitudes toward capital investment aimed at solving medium- to long-term challenges, such as decarbonization as well as automation and digital transformation (DX) to address structural labor shortages, also remained firm, and industrial electrical machinery-related industries, led by semiconductor manufacturing equipment, performed steadily.
Against this background, we have steadily implemented the second year of our 4th Medium-Term Business Plan, 
: Making New Contributions, working toward our own continuous growth and the realization of a sustainable society.
For example, we continued to exhibit at comprehensive trade shows held throughout Japan, proposed solutions to manufacturing challenges such as labor shortages and quality improvement, and introduced DX solutions applicable across a wide range of areas from the factory floor to internal infrastructure.
Moreover, starting in the fiscal year under review, we have formulated our Environmental Policy, Human Rights Policy, Ethics and Compliance Policy, and Sustainable Procurement Guidelines to advance sustainability across our Group and supply chain.
Furthermore, as part of our promotion of sustainability management, we published our first-ever integrated report in October 2025.
The report is designed to give readers a deeper understanding of our initiatives aimed at increasing corporate value, with a focus on our proposal and procurement capabilities. Going forward, we will work to engage in deeper dialogue with our stakeholders through the integrated report and other forms of information disclosure and continue to pursue sustained enhancement of corporate value.
As a result of these efforts, net sales were 141.033 billion yen (a 4.6% year-on-year increase), operating profit was 6.622 billion yen (a 3.0% year-on-year decrease), ordinary profit was 7.465 billion yen (a 3.7% year-on-year increase), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was 5.114 billion yen (a 4.5% year-on-year increase).
On behalf of everyone at Nichiden, I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders for your
continued support and encouragement.
Toshikazu Fuke
Representative Director and President Executive Officer
