Left: R&D expenses, capex and D&A per quarter - Q2 FY26 R&D 23.4, capex 12.1, D&A 7.4, with R&D at 4.9% of net sales (down from 9.0% in FY24 Q2). Right: operating cash flow 169.8, investing cash flow -108.3 and free cash flow 61.5 in Q2 FY26 (FY26 Q1: 137.2, -102.5, 34.7). Free cash flow is defined as operating plus investing cash flows.

TAM chart in USD billions (approx.): CY24 6.0 (SoC 4.1, memory 1.9), CY25 9.0 (SoC 6.9, memory 2.1) and CY26e 13.0-14.5 (SoC 10.5-11.5, memory 2.5-3.0), unchanged from the July 2026 estimate. Commentary: SoC testers near the upper end and memory testers around the midpoint of the range; semiconductor complexity keeps driving test volume; barring geopolitical and macro factors, the industry is expected to stay supply constrained with demand exceeding supply in CY27.
Stacked column chart on the left with July estimates in parentheses beside the CY26e bar; teal-headed bilingual bullet commentary on the right separated by a rule.
FY26 capacity plan: SoC testers have achieved annual production capacity of more than 5,000 systems and aim to reach the 10,000-system target well ahead of the original schedule; memory testers are accelerating the production ramp in line with SoC. Conclusion: Advantest remains positioned to capture strong demand through a resilient, scalable supply chain.

Under the MTP3 policy Advantest targets a cumulative total return ratio of at least 50% over three years through dividends and buybacks. Resolutions adopted on the day: an FY26 interim dividend of JPY 49 (FY25 interim and year-end dividends were JPY 29 and 30), and a share repurchase of up to 11 million shares (1.5% of outstanding shares excluding treasury stock) for up to JPY 280B between October 29, 2026 and March 24, 2027.
Two mirrored columns (English left, Japanese right) with burgundy headline, diamond bullet for the resolutions and check-mark sub-items for dividend and repurchase.
Three items: Advantest was selected for the first time as a constituent of the JPX-Nikkei Index Human Capital 100; the Integrated Annual Report 2026 has been published (English and Japanese links, cover thumbnail 'Testing the Future'); and a Virtual IR Fireside Chat on November 12, 2026 themed 'Strategic Supply Chain Transformation Enables Future Growth and Delivers a Competitive Advantage'.

Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.
It is Advantest's 20-page Financial Briefing for the three months ended September 30, 2026: quarterly results, sales by segment and region, margins, cash flow and balance sheet, the CY26 tester market outlook, capacity expansion plans, the revised FY26 forecast by segment, and shareholder returns.
It is bilingual English/Japanese - every slide pairs English text with a Japanese translation (the Japanese title is 第2四半期決算説明会資料 / 決算説明会). The original was disclosed on TDnet, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Timely Disclosure network, on October 28, 2026. Advantest trades on the TSE under code 6857.
Advantest's fiscal year runs April to March, so FY2026 covers April 2026 to March 2027 (the fiscal year ending March 2027, 2027年3月期). Q2 FY26 is July-September 2026. The tester market slides use calendar years (CY24, CY25, CY26e) instead.
Sales were JPY 477.7 billion (+81.7% YoY) and operating income JPY 266.8 billion with a 55.9% operating margin, both above the company's own forecast of JPY 434.5B and 224.5B. Net income was JPY 193.3 billion. All amounts in the deck are in JPY billions (10億円) and prepared under IFRS.
The full-year forecast was raised to JPY 1,863.0 billion in sales (from 1,714.0 in July) and JPY 967.0 billion in operating income (from 846.0), lifting the operating margin forecast to 51.9%. Net income is forecast at JPY 741.5 billion and basic EPS at JPY 1,027.08.
Advantest kept its CY26 tester TAM estimate at roughly USD 13.0-14.5 billion (SoC 10.5-11.5, memory 2.5-3.0), up from USD 9.0 billion in CY25, and expects the industry to stay supply constrained into CY27 as AI-related chips need more test volume.
