TOKYO, May 08 (Pulse News Wire) – NIC Autotec,inc. (5742.T) reported its fiscal year 2026 March quarter results, which showed significant deviations from previously forecasted figures.
The company's operating profit fell below expectations due to reduced equipment investments by semiconductor-related firms and ongoing global uncertainties. For the fiscal year ending March 2026, the company had initially projected revenues of ¥6.800 billion, operating profit of ¥258 million, ordinary profit of ¥252 million, and net income per share of ¥43.9 million. However, the actual reported figures stood at 6,305 million yen in revenue, -13 million yen in lower operating profit, 5 million yen in ordinary profit, and 24 million yen in net income, marking substantial decreases compared to forecasts.
The discrepancies were attributed to a slowdown in capital expenditures by semiconductor manufacturers and flat panel display (FPD) makers, alongside volatile geopolitical conditions affecting business operations. Additionally, increased promotional activities aimed at future growth contributed to higher administrative expenses, further impacting profitability. In comparison, the previous fiscal year ended March 2025 saw revenues of ¥6.647 billion, operating profit of ¥231 million, ordinary profit of ¥222 million, and net income per share of ¥38.9 million.
