Yokowo Co., Ltd. revised consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ending September 30, 2026 and for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. For the six months, the company expects net sales of JPY 50,000 million, operating profit of JPY 3,900 million, profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 2,800 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 120.09 compared to previous guidance of net sales of JPY 48,000 million, operating profit of JPY 3,300 million, profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 1,950 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 83.65. Our forecast for net sales for the first half has been revised as shown in the table below based on the result of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the latest order forecast. Our forecast for operating profit has been revised as shown, reflecting the results for the first quarter of the fiscal year. While profit in the VCCS segment is expected to decline, overall operating profit is expected to increase due to higher profit resulting from increased sales in the CTC segment, as well as the impact of revising the assumed exchange rate to a weaker yen. Our forecasts for ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of parent have been revised as shown, which incorporate a foreign exchange loss of JPY 100 million based on an assumed exchange rate of JPY 155 against the US dollar. For the year, the company expects net sales of JPY 101,000 million, operating profit of JPY 8,000 million, profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 5,600 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 240.17 compared to previous guidance of net sales of JPY 97,000 million, operating profit of JPY 97,000 million, profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 4,500 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 193.05. Our forecast for net sales has been revised as shown in the table below, reflecting the revision of the assumed exchange rate to a weaker yen, together with expected further growth in orders driven mainly by demand related to generative Al and the effects of expanded production capacity in the CTC segment. Our forecast for operating profit has been revised as shown. Although profit in the VCCS segment is expected to decline, as in the first-half forecast, profit in the CTC segment is expected to increase on higher sales, even after partially factoring in initial costs associated with expanded production capacity. Our forecasts for ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of parent have been revised as shown, which incorporate the assumption that no foreign exchange gains or losses will occur in the second half based on the assumed exchange rate of JPY 155 against the US dollar.

YOKOWO CO., LTD. announced that, at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on June 19, 2026, the Company resolved to make investments to expand the production capacity of its CTC segment (semiconductor testing-related business). In the CTC segment, the Company conducts global operations in the manufacture and sale of probe cards for front-end semiconductor testing and sockets for back-end semiconductor testing, leveraging advanced micro-precision processing and high-frequency technologies. In recent years, against the backdrop of rapid market expansion centered on high-performance semiconductors for generative AI and data centers, demand for semiconductor testing has remained exceptionally strong. This investment is aimed at enhancing the production capacity of contact probes, the core component and core product of this business, with the objective of further strengthening product competitiveness by establishing a stable supply framework capable of meeting expanding demand and addressing cutting-edge testing needs. The CTC segment’s primary production bases are located in three facilities across Japan, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Going forward, from a business continuity planning (BCP) perspective that takes into account the risks of rising labor costs and difficulties in securing personnel associated with an excessive concentration of production functions in Malaysia, which serves as the primary production base, the Company plans to position its Vietnam facility as the second core overseas production hub and expand its production functions there. The targets and scope of this investment are as follows: Japan: Construction of additional facilities; introduction of new production equipment. Malaysia: Introduction of new production equipment. Vietnam: Land lease; construction of facilities; introduction of new production equipment. The Company plans to begin placing orders in phases from June 2026, with a total investment of approximately JPY 7,600 million planned through the fiscal year ending March 2031. As the first phase, the Company intends to invest approximately JPY 3,800 million through the fiscal year ending March 2029 for land lease, facility construction, and the introduction of new production equipment. With respect to subsequent investments, the timing and content of implementation will be determined on a rolling basis in light of the business environment, demand trends, and the progress of ongoing plans. While the impact of this investment on the current fiscal year (fiscal year ending March 2027) consolidated financial results is expected to be minimal, from the fiscal year ending March 2028 onwards, an increase in net sales of this business driven by expanded production is anticipated.
