In order to capture remaining replacement demand following the end of support for Windows10 (EOS) in October 2025 and to respond to the second phase of GIGA School, we strengthened collaboration with sales partners and local governments across the country, and worked to steadily improve our performance through stable supply and planned proposals.
For corporates, although server and network product lines, which benefited from a large project in the prior fiscal year, underperformed year‑over‑year, we secured stable orders through successful bundled IT proposals—including client PCs and peripherals. We intensified proposal activities for our strategic subscription-management portal, iKAZUCHI, and captured demand for cloud deployments and service implementations. Client PC demand linked to EOS has gradually returned to normal. While volumes were lower than the prior fiscal year's exceptional surge, they stayed at levels higher than a normal period. Strong results from GIGA School program in the education sector led to a marked year-on-year increase. Sector-wise, demand was solid mainly in the services, manufacturing, retail, and financial industries. For government agencies, securing contracts with local public authorities contributed to year-on-year sales growth. For the education sector, revenues increased substantially as deliveries for the second phase of GIGA School joint procurement projects became fully underway. In the consumer market, PC sales performed well across both mass retailers and e-commerce channels, resulting in year-on-year revenue growth.

As a consequence, net sales in this segment stood at 911.468 billion yen, up 24.0% year-on-year, and operating income was 32.051 billion yen, up 49.2% year-on-year.

In the Machine Tools Division, steady orders continued domestically from robust shipbuilding and energy sectors, and demand recovery persisted in our core aerospace market. Overseas orders increased driven by strong demand in certain sectors such as wind-power projects for China and a recovery in the U.S. energy sector. Revenue rose year-on-year—partly due to sales of large machines for the mold industry—and operating income increased accordingly. In the Automatic Machinery Division, net sales were slightly lower year-on-year; however, improved profit margins led to higher operating income.

As a consequence, net sales in this segment stood at 9.763 billion yen, up 7.0% year-on-year, and operating income was 675 million yen, up 26.8% year-on-year.
