1Q OP of ¥300mn fell short of both our forecast of ¥600mn and consensus of

¥1.4bn.

Connector OPM was 1.5%, below our forecast of 2.8%, due to higher raw material

costs and an unfavorable product mix.

F3/27 OP guidance of ¥9.5bn (1H ¥3.8bn, 2H ¥5.7bn) was maintained, but the

hurdle for achieving the target appears to have risen somewhat.

We believe the share price is likely to face correction pressure in the near term.

1Q results: OP was ¥300mn, down ¥1.2bn YoY, consisting of ¥800mn from

connectors (down ¥1.6bn YoY) and ¥700mn from aerospace (up ¥500mn YoY).

Connector sales of ¥53.3bn exceeded our forecast of ¥51.1bn, supported by strong

demand from industrial equipment and automotive applications. However, OPM

remained low at 1.5%, reflecting higher raw material costs driven by rising copper

and gold prices, an unfavorable product mix, and increased labor costs.
