F1Quarterly and full-year results summaries (tanshin) published in English2/5

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026, 6 August 2026 with the Japanese, but 3 pages against the Japanese 12: only the tanshin cover sheet (headline results, financial position, dividends, forecast, share counts). No qualitative review, no statements, no notes, no segment information; the full-year release (13 May 2026) is the same 4-page cover against 16 Japanese pages. Every quarter is in English on the day, but each is headline figures only. Source document →

F2English results summary is a full translation, not an excerpt2/5

The English 'Summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026' (6 Aug 2026) is 3 pages. The Japanese 2027年3月期 第1四半期決算短信 is 12. The English has only the summary cover pages: results, financial position, dividends, the FY3/2027 forecast and share counts. The Japanese adds the attachments listed in its 添付資料の目次: 1. 経営成績等の概況 (results narrative, financial position, forecast explanation), 2. the quarterly statements and the notes, including the セグメント情報等の注記. The full-year release (13 May 2026) is the same: 4 English pages against 16 Japanese. Summary cover pages only, so 2. Source document →

F3Financial statements including notes available in English4/5

The current English tanshin (Q1 FY3/2027, 3 pp) has no statements or notes, only summary figures. The only English statements with notes are in 'Annual Report 2025, For the year ended March 31, 2025' (51 pp, PDF created 25 Sep 2025). It has the consolidated balance sheets, income, comprehensive income, changes in net assets and cash flows (from p.16), with full Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, including note 19 Segment Information. Nothing in English covers the year ended March 2026 yet (the English Annual Reports page still tops out at 2025). So the statements and notes are full, but only at a year end, and that year end is one year back. Floor 4. Source document →

F4Annual securities report available in English in any form3/5

No translated yuho. The nearest is 'Annual Report 2025', 51 pages, for the year ended March 2025: five-year summary, MD&A, business risks (extracted 'from among those described in the securities report'), auditor compensation, consolidated statements with notes, subsidiaries and principal shareholders - but no independent auditor's report and no governance or other statutory narrative sections, and nothing yet for the year ended March 2026 (Japanese yuho filed 26 June 2026). Extracts of the report, not the report. Source document →

F5Segment revenue and profit disclosed in English, consistent definitions4/5

Statutorily this is a single-segment company. The English Annual Report 2025 note 19 says segment information is not disclosed because the reportable segment is mainly PCBs and other business is immaterial. The Japanese Q1 tanshin note says the same. Every English quarterly deck gives net sales and operating income for its two business lines, PCB and Electronic Equipment/EMS. Examples: Q1 FY2026 deck (6 Aug 2026), PCB ¥60.2bn / OP ¥5.6bn and Electronic Equipment ¥13.0bn / OP ¥0.5bn; Q2 deck (Nov 2025) H1 and quarterly splits; Q3 deck (Feb 2026) nine-month splits; FY deck (21 May 2026) FY2024 and FY2025 results and the FY2026 forecast. Sales by application and by specification come every quarter too. But the figures are only in the decks (the English tanshin has none), and the business-line definitions are not stated. So 4.

F6Multi-year financial data file (Excel or CSV) downloadable in English0/5

There is no downloadable data file. We filtered the links for xls/csv/excel/data on the English IR top, Business Performance Highlights, Basic Stock Information and the presentations, annual report, meeting and news pages: none found, all documents are PDF. Instead, the English Performance Highlights page has HTML charts with seven years (FY3/2020-FY3/2026) of sales, net income, operating and ordinary profit and margins, total assets, net worth and capex. The Annual Report 2025 has a five-year summary in PDF. The Japanese highlights page has no file either.

F7Guidance disclosed in English with the basis explained5/5

The English tanshin cover (13 May 2026) gives the FY3/2027 forecast, and the Q1 release (6 Aug 2026) confirms it unchanged. The English FY2025 results deck (21 May 2026, p.4) breaks the FY2026 forecast down by business: PCB sales ¥254.0bn / OP ¥33.4bn, EMS ¥66.0bn / OP ¥4.6bn, total ¥320.0bn / OP ¥38.0bn, with an assumed FX rate of ¥150/US$. Pp.5-6 forecast sales by application and specification. P.14 sets out the market view (global PCB market forecast by application and specification with CAGRs). Revisions are explained in English. The 6 Feb 2026 'Announcement on Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast and the Year-End Dividend Forecast' gives previous vs revised figures and the reason (strong HDI PCB orders, a weaker yen). The 28 Sep 2026 stock-split notice explains the dividend-forecast revision. FX, the market view and segment forecasts are all given, and revisions are explained, so 5. Source document →

S1Medium-term management plan in English with numerical targets5/5

The current plan is the Medium-term Business Plan FY2026-FY2028. It is in the English FY2025 Financial Results Briefing deck (21 May 2026, 22 pp, the same page count as the Japanese 2025年度決算説明会資料). Both were posted on TDnet at 09:30 that day. The deck gives: targets of sales ¥320/390/460bn, OP ¥38/51/65bn and OP margin 12/13/14% for FY2026-28 (p.9); application and specification sales targets (pp.10-11); and a financial-strategy table (p.12) with net income, investment, R&D, EBITDA, assets, debt, equity ratio, D/E, ROE (21.1% by FY2028), ROIC, EPS, DPS, payout and DOE. The English Medium-Term Business Plan page repeats the FY2028 goals (sales ¥460bn, OP ¥65bn, 14.0%, ¥150/$, capex ¥210bn) with the same charts as the Japanese page. Complete and same-day, so 5.

S2IR presentations published in English5/5

English deck for every quarter plus the half-year and full-year briefing decks, matching the Japanese page for page (Q1 FY2026: 5 pages each, 6-7 August 2026; FY2025 briefing of 21 May 2026: 22 pages each). The Japanese library carries no results transcript or Q&A for the English side to lack. Re-checked 16 Oct 2026: the Japanese library does carry a 決算説明会質疑応答 page for every half-year briefing since 2021 (e.g. https://www.meiko-elec.com/ir/library/qa/2025h2qa.html), contrary to the line above; the English has the matching Q&A pages for the latest briefings (https://www.meiko-elec.com/english/ir/library/qa/2025h2qa.html), so 5 stands.

S3English equity-story or investment-highlights page3/5

The English IR site has no 'why invest' or investment-highlights page. The nearest is MEIKO Corporate Report 2025 (English, 68 pp). Its opening spread gives FY3/2025 net sales ¥206.8bn by application (automotive 43.6% etc.), OP ¥19.1bn and 13,288 employees. It also has a Business Portfolio section (PCB, Electronic Device, Mechatronics, Visual System) and a value-creation process. The English 'Our Business' page and the decks describe the products. The strengths are described for a general reader, not framed for an investor, and are mostly qualitative. So 3. Source document →

S4Growth drivers identified and quantified in English5/5

The English FY2025 results deck (21 May 2026) names the drivers and quantifies them. Sales targets by application for FY2026-28 (p.10) include AI servers, satellite communications, automotive, smartphones and packages, with composition ratios. Sales by specification (p.11) shows HDI rising to ¥104bn. The global PCB market forecast (p.14) gives CAGRs by application and specification (AI servers, high-layer PCBs 35.4%). Plant pages give capex and sales plans: Vietnam Plant #4 capex ¥25bn to ¥45bn; Hoa Binh ¥50bn; Quang Minh #3 ¥40bn; Yen Quang ¥60bn; the ACCL JV is 30% Meiko. Capex is ¥70bn a year. Q1 FY2026 deck growth by application: satellite +183.7%, AI servers +85.7%. Named drivers with numbers, so 5. Source document →

S5Results-briefing transcripts or Q&A published in English4/5

The Japanese presentations page has a 決算説明会質疑応答 HTML page for every half-year briefing from 2021h1 (Nov 2021) to 2025h2 (21 May 2026), ten in all. The English presentations page links English Q&A pages for the five most recent: 2023h2, 2024h1, 2024h2, 2025h1 (13 Nov 2025) and 2025h2 ('Financial Results Briefing Q&A held on May 21, 2026'). These are full translations: the 21 May 2026 page has the same six questions and answers as the Japanese (Vietnam investment, Vietnam sales ratio, raw materials, AI and satellite orders, AI-server advantage, substrate types). Every current briefing is covered, but the older half of the Japanese archive (2021h1-2023h1) has no English. Neither side dates the pages, so the lag cannot be checked. Floor 4. Source document →

S7Progress against the previous plan, including misses, explained in English4/5

The English FY2025 results deck (21 May 2026), p.8, is 'Review of the Medium-term Business Plan formulated 2022'. It sets plan against result for FY2022-FY2025 (and the FY2026 forecast). Sales plan 170/185/205/225 against 167/180/207/241. Operating income plan 15.5/17.5/20.5/23.6 against 9.6/11.7/19.1/24.6. Investment budget ¥20bn a year against 17.4/19.9/29.8/49.7. The English reconciliation is dated and target against actual, but the slide does not explain the variances, such as the FY2022-23 profit shortfall or the investment overrun. So 4. Source document →

G2Director biographies in English with tenure, expertise and independence5/5

The English Notice of the 51st AGM (June 2026, 18 pp) proposes all nine directors, the whole board, for re-election. For each it gives: a dated career summary (e.g. Naya 'June 2006 President & CEO'); the term of office for outside directors (Tsuchiya 8 years, Nishiyama 7 years, etc.); board attendance (13/13); shares held; and the reasons for nomination, stating the expertise. All four outside directors are marked 'Independent Director' and registered with TSE. The three Audit & Supervisory Board candidates get the same treatment. Every director has tenure, expertise and independence, so 5. Source document →

It covers all nine director candidates, with independence and eight skills: corporate management, industry insight, finance and accounting, sales, global experience, R&D/manufacturing technology, legal affairs and risk management, sustainability and ESG. P.15 gives the reason each skill is needed. The Corporate Report 2025 carries an earlier matrix. The current matrix is in English, so 5. Source document →

G4Executive remuneration structure and its performance linkage explained in English4/5

The English Corporate Governance Report (Last Update 26 June 2026) sets out the structure: executive directors get basic (fixed), performance-linked bonus and stock-based compensation (a stock award trust), and outside directors get basic only. The target mix for FY3/2027 is about 60/30/10. The bonus KPIs and weights are consolidated sales 20%, operating profit 40%, net income 20% and ROE 20%, and the FY2025 actuals for each are given. The Corporate Report 2025 repeats this. The amounts are totals only: CGR 'Directors: 9 persons, ¥231 million (including four Outside Directors, ¥23 million)'; Corporate Report FY2024 ¥190m for 7 internal directors. Neither breaks them down by pay type or by director. Per the ruling (total only = 4), so 4. Source document →

G7Cross-shareholdings in English with reduction schedule and rationale3/5

The English CGR (26 June 2026), Principle 1-4, gives the policy: holdings support business relationships; the board evaluates them on capital cost, dividends, transaction amounts and strategic importance; voting rights are exercised for all. The English Corporate Report 2025 adds the numbers: cross-shareholdings booked at ¥228m / ¥337m / ¥339m for FY2022-24, 0.3% of net assets, verified by the board in March 2025. It also says holdings with a deficient rationale are sold 'and endeavor to reduce'. There is no count of issues, no reduction target or schedule, and no progress against one. Policy and amounts with no target, so 3. Source document →

All are English (0 CJK characters in the PDFs; 2024/Q1 has 69 stray CJK glyphs in an English document). The older Annual Reports sit under /pdf/ rather than /english/pdf/ but are English.

The presentations archive is a year drop-down. Choosing a year reveals that year's decks, tanshin and Q&A (tested: 'Fiscal Year Ending March 2025' shows six decks and four tanshin). The page shows its content only after a real select-and-click, which a scripted selectOption alone does not trigger. Nothing renders blank, so 5. Source document →

O5Single page listing all English IR documents by date and type3/5

The English documents are split by type across several pages. 'Financial Results Presentation Materials' has decks, tanshin and Q&A by fiscal year through a drop-down, labelled by period but with no posting dates. Annual Reports, Shareholders' Newsletter and General Meeting of Shareholders each have their own page. The corporate report and CG report are under Sustainability. IR News is one dated list, but it holds results releases and timely disclosures, not the archive (the Q3 FY3/2026 tanshin, the AGM notices and the CGR are not on it).

The English material arrives on the Japanese day.

FY3/2026: tanshin and decks in both languages 13 May 2026 15:30, and the briefing deck in both 21 May 2026 09:30. Q3 (6 Feb 2026) and H1 (6 Nov / 13 Nov 2025) match on both IR news lists. But the English tanshin is only the summary cover pages (3-4 pp against 12-16), and the full tanshin never comes in English. Per the ruling, a same-day summary is not a same-day tanshin, so not 5. The decks and the summary are same-day every period, so 4 (floor). Set to 3 in review, 16 Oct 2026: the summary and deck are same-day, but the full tanshin never comes in English; a full English that never arrives is worse than late (as the no-deck ruling).

Dates from TDnet (kabutan) and the IR lists, Japanese / English. Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin: 6 Aug / 6 Aug = 0. FY3/2026 tanshin: 13 May / 13 May = 0. Both English versions are summary pages only, counted as the English version, as in 6777. 51st AGM notice: 3 Jun 08:00 / 3 Jun 08:00 = 0. Corporate Governance Report: 26 Jun 2026 15:01 / 26 Jun 15:30 = 0. Yuho: Japanese filed 26 Jun 2026; no English (the Annual Report 2025 is FY3/2025 extracts with no auditor's report, and nothing yet for FY3/2026), so more than 90. Sorted 0, 0, 0, 0, >90; median 0, so 5. If the summary-only tanshin are not counted as translations, the median is over 90 and this would be 1. Set to 1 in review, 16 Oct 2026: the English 'tanshin' is the summary cover pages only, a headline sheet rather than a tanshin (F1/F2 ruling), so both tanshin count as untranslated (>90); with the yuho also >90 the median is over 90.

Cash use and returns

Meiko plans ¥210bn of investment across FY2026-FY2028 to expand high-layer and HDI PCB capacity for AI servers and other growth markets.

Capital structure

The plan allows interest-bearing debt to rise while targeting a D/E ratio below 1.0 by FY2028 and increasing dividends, albeit at a 15% payout ratio.

Governance of capital decisions

Management publishes annual sales, investment, ROE, ROIC, leverage and dividend paths through FY2028.

Preliminary and not scored: a selected-source reading, reviewed 30 September 2026. Surplus cash, leases, maturities, project ROIC, cost of capital, committed spend and peer comparability are not fully assessed; none enters the accountability score. Figures are the company’s own reported numbers; a large cash balance is not called excess without a defensible operating reserve and investment plan. Every company with a balance-sheet reading →
