Disco Corporation sees strong first-half sales, record tool shipments

Disco Corporation announced preliminary non-consolidated net sales for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April-September) reached JPY 160.8 bn, surpassing its forecast of JPY 150.9 bn by 6.6%. Second-quarter net sales were JPY 85.3 bn, a 2.5% increase year-on-year.

Non-consolidated net shipments for the second quarter (July-September) were JPY 77.4 bn, reflecting an 8.5% year-on-year decrease and a 16.7% quarter-on-quarter decline. While demand for precision processing equipment, particularly for generative AI applications, remained firm, overall equipment shipments decreased quarter-on-quarter due to prior period concentration. Conversely, shipments of precision processing tools (consumables) hit a quarterly record high, boosted by customer facility operation rates.

The company records sales for equipment products upon customer inspection and acceptance. Full financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 are scheduled for release on October 29, 2025.
