During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the business environment was buoyed by the expanding U.S. economy and gradual recoveries in Japan and Europe, as well as modest improvement in China’s economic slowdown. In addition, the yen became stronger against foreign currencies compared to the previous year, but weakened after the U.S. presidential election in November.
Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Electric Group has been working even harder than before to promote growth strategies rooted in its advantages, while continuously implementing initiatives to strengthen its competitiveness and business structure.
As a result, the Mitsubishi Electric Group has recorded a net sales of 4,238.6 billion yen for fiscal 2017, a decrease of 4% compared to the previous fiscal year, with decreased sales in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Information and Communication Systems, and Electronic Devices segments.
Consolidated operating income decreased by 10% compared to the previous fiscal year to 270.1 billion yen, due to decreased profits in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Information and Communication Systems, and Electronic Devices segments.
Current Forecast for Fiscal 2018
Despite
the uncertainty in business performance remaining high due to factors
such as the U.K. government’s policies on Brexit and operations of the

economy with buoyant expansion in the U.S. and a continued trend of
recovery in Japan and Europe.
Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Electric Group aims to achieve its management targets by uplifting its business performance and financial standings through initiatives such as promoting more strongly its global operations centered around its growth-driving businesses, continuously increasing and strengthening profitability in each business and continuously implementing various Group-wide business improvement measures.
