Daikoku Denki reported financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2016. Net sales were ¥24.2 billion, down 13.1% year-on-year, due to lower sales in both the Information Systems and Control Systems segments. Operating income declined to ¥815 million, a decrease of 44.1% compared to the previous year. For the full fiscal year, Daikoku Denki forecasts challenges from planned regulations on pachinko and pachislot machines but expects the market to recover to around ¥4 trillion in the medium term after short-term difficulties, supported by events like the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
