**Financial Results for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending June 2026**
During this third quarter cumulative period, net sales amounted to 54,250 million yen (a 14.1% increase year-on-year). In terms of profit, operating income was 9,718 million yen (a 4.3% decrease), ordinary income was 10,548 million yen (a 3.1% increase) due to factors such as foreign exchange gains, and net income attributable to owners of parent was 7,226 million yen (a 3.2% increase).
Business results by segment are as follows:
**≪Social Infrastructure Business≫**
In the core civil engineering and construction materials business, the delivery of materials for public works projects progressed smoothly. Strong performance of our main products, such as embankment reinforcement materials and marine-related materials like silt curtains, combined with generally steady performance of other materials, resulted in sales and profit exceeding the previous year's results.
Regarding other businesses by group companies, although the fisheries processing business was affected by a drop in sales prices due to worsening market conditions, it generally proceeded as planned overall. Furthermore, the solid performance of two companies that became subsidiaries in the previous fiscal year contributed to the increase in sales and profit for this segment.
As a result, this segment's sales amounted to 35,870 million yen (a 34.8% increase year-on-year), and operating income was 7,109 million yen (a 19.2% increase).
**≪Industry Infrastructure Business≫**
In the automotive forged wheel business, BBS Japan Co., Ltd. saw strong sales of OEM products for overseas markets compensate for a decrease in domestic OEM sales volume. Sales for the domestic and international aftermarket also progressed mostly as planned, resulting in sales and profit exceeding the previous year's results. However, wheel sales in Europe by the overseas subsidiary BBS Motorsport GmbH fell significantly below the previous year in both sales and profit, due to a reactionary decline from a large transaction in the prior year and a corresponding drop in profit margin. Nevertheless, the automotive forged wheel business as a whole, including BBS Japan Co., Ltd., is progressing generally as planned.
In the apparel and various industrial materials business, sales of core products such as wiping cloths for precision equipment remained strong, with both sales and profit surpassing the previous year's results.
As a result, this segment's sales amounted to 18,380 million yen (a 12.2% decrease year-on-year), and operating income was 3,742 million yen (a 27.8% decrease).
