Consolidated Financial Results: Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025
TOWA Corporation’s consolidated financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, reflect a challenging period characterized by a year-on-year decline in both revenue and profitability. Net sales reached 36,930 million yen, representing a 5.9% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year. Operating profit fell significantly by 43.5% to 3,685 million yen, while profit attributable to owners of the parent declined by 49.0% to 2,627 million yen. These results were primarily driven by a shift in product mix, increased development costs, and the adverse impacts of U.S. tariff policies and sluggish demand within the automotive semiconductor sector.
The company operates across three primary segments: Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment, Medical Device, and Laser Processing Machine. The Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment business, which constitutes the majority of total sales, saw a 6.0% decline in revenue to 33,940 million yen. While the Medical Device segment experienced a modest revenue increase of 7.8%, the Laser Processing Machine business faced a 20.0% decline in sales and an operating loss of 86 million yen. Despite these headwinds, the company reported a strong order environment, particularly for AI and data center-related memory applications, with third-quarter orders reaching their second-highest level on record.
As of December 31, 2025, the company’s financial position remains stable with total assets of 101,357 million yen and an equity-to-asset ratio of 66.6%. Looking ahead, the company has revised its full-year forecasts downward due to delayed revenue recognition from mass production investments and higher costs associated with initial shipments. However, management anticipates a recovery trend, supported by a robust order backlog and expected improvements in product mix as demand for compression equipment grows.
