The company has set targets in its "Medium-Term Management Plan 2026" of 40 billion yen in revenue, an operating profit margin of 5%, and ROE (return on equity) of 8%. These key targets were achieved ahead of schedule in the fiscal year ending May 2025, with actual results of approximately 405.3 billion yen in revenue, approximately 23.8 billion yen in operating profit, an operating profit margin of approximately 5.9%, and ROE of 8.0%. However, the company is not resting on these results and continues to strengthen profitability in existing operations and improve asset efficiency to ensure sustainable growth and complete the plan as scheduled.

Priority investment areas include railway equipment and power storage systems focused on decarbonization and energy efficiency, automotive test equipment for electrification, energy-efficient and low-maintenance production equipment, emergency power generation and power supply systems, and remote monitoring systems utilizing cloud technology. The company's competitive advantage stems from its ability to provide integrated services covering not only design and manufacturing of electrical equipment but also installation and maintenance, backed by reliability rooted in quality-focused manufacturing. Through this integrated offering, the company aims to expand recurring revenue from post-installation maintenance contracts and cloud-based services.

The company pursues different strategies for new market development domestically and internationally. Domestically, it focuses on capturing replacement demand from railway operators and equipment upgrades that support decarbonization and labor efficiency.

In the ICT field, the company plans to expand its business domain by strengthening station equipment compatible with cashless and ticketless systems, as well as remote monitoring services for mobile assets and facilities.

Regarding technological innovation, the company will continue research and development investments in power storage and remote monitoring software development, as well as equipment design to achieve energy efficiency. Additionally, the company aims to expand orders through human capital investment and sales force strengthening, and will improve capital efficiency by reducing strategic shareholdings and compressing working capital. On shareholder returns, the company maintains a dividend payout ratio of 30% or higher (minimum 30 yen per share) and will continue opportunistic share buybacks, with the aim of enhancing corporate value through these measures.
