1Q FY2023 - Results Overview

  • Net sales (41.1 billion yen, +7% YoY,-2% QoQ)
    • Automotive electronics market
      Firm automotive demand and easing of the semiconductor shortage led to an increase in vehicle production volume.
    • Industrial equipment market

Translation

Demand targeted at plant automation and productivity improvement was robust, but concerns over deceleration of the global economy from the second half of last fiscal year and other factors led to a correction phase.

    • ICT market
      The deceleration in demand for PCs and servers and inventory adjustments continued.
  • Operating income (2.4 billion yen,-1.4% YoY, -38.5% QoQ)
    • We continued to address the surge in the price of materials and electricity due to the prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine and rising energy costs by implementing structural reforms to reduce costs and revising selling prices.
  • Profit attributable to owners of parent
    • Recognition of an extraordinary loss for the approx.18.1-billion-yen settlement of a U.S. civil lawsuit with Avnet, Inc. and three other companies resulted in a loss attributable to owners of parent of 13.8 billion yen.
