TOKYO, Apr 16 (Pulse News Wire) – Progress Technologies (339A.T) held a Q&A session during its February 2026 earnings call, addressing key points related to cost management and strategic investments. Regarding the decrease in depreciation expenses within selling, general, and administrative costs for the fiscal year ending February 2027, the company attributed this to increased efficiency in digital twin operations, leading to higher asset utilization rates.
Consequently, some previously allocated depreciation costs are now being accounted for under cost of sales rather than SG&A expenses. Additionally, the firm highlighted planned increases in other expenses due to future growth-focused investments, such as system development and expansion of new facilities.
In discussing recruitment strategies, CEO Takato Nakayama emphasized the company's success in tapping into local talent pools through partnerships with regional governments and offering high-value design projects in rural areas, countering the trend of young engineers moving to urban centers. Furthermore, the company detailed the benefits of its alliance with Marubeni, noting improvements in global customer support and integrated IT solutions.
