Shimano Inc. (7309) Summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the First Half of FY2023

1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance for the Period under Review

  1. Results of Operations

During the first half of fiscal year 2023, the prolonged turmoil in Ukraine, interest rate hikes by the central banks of various countries to tame inflation, financial uncertainty in the U.S. and other factors exerted downward pressure on the global economy.

In Europe, inflation rates slowed down as energy prices fell, and consumer confidence started to pick up although at a low level.

In the U.S., while a default of the U.S. national debt was avoided, personal consumption was sluggish due to uncertainty against a backdrop of political ferment.

In China, normalization of economic activities progressed since the lifting of restrictions on activities.

In Japan, the social situation saw progress in its normalization, as seen in the increased foreign tourists, and economic recovery was supported by wage raise, public spending and continued easing of monetary policies, among others.

In this environment, demand for bicycles and fishing tackle continued to be weak, and for the first half of fiscal year 2023, net sales decreased 13.3% from the same period of the previous year to 263,250 million yen. Operating income decreased 33.4% to 53,908 million yen, ordinary income decreased 25.7% to 68,409 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent decreased 26.5% to 50,378 million yen.

Reportable Segment Overview

  • Bicycle Components

Although the strong interest in bicycles cooled down, interest in bicycles continued as a long-term trend. On the other hand, market inventories generally remained high, despite ongoing supply and demand adjustments.

Overseas, in the European market, retail sales of completed bicycles were somewhat low, partly due to the impacts from unfavorable weather conditions in early spring. Market inventories generally remained at high levels.

In the North American market, retail sales of completed bicycles remained weak and market inventories were at a consistently high level.

In the Asian, Oceanian and Central and South American markets, although interest in bicycles was firm, sales remained somewhat sluggish due to cooling consumer confidence on account of rising inflation. However, in the Chinese market, sales remained strong, especially for road bikes, owing to the continued popularity of outdoor sports cycling.

In the Japanese market, sales were sluggish as affected by the soaring price of completed bicycles due to yen depreciation and other factors and market inventories remained somewhat high.

Under these market conditions, the Shimano Group received a favorable reception for high-end models for road bikes as a whole, including SHIMANO 105, and sport e-bike components, SHIMANO STEPS series and other products.

As a result, net sales from this segment decreased 17.7% from the same period of the previous year to 204,986 million yen, and operating income decreased 39.5% to 42,093 million yen.

  • Fishing Tackle

Although the global high demand for fishing tackle cooled down, interest in fishing continued, having gained recognition again as an outdoor leisure activity.

In the Japanese market, willingness to buy new products was strong among long-time fishing enthusiasts, and demand for high-priced products remained firm.

Overseas, while sales in the North American market softened as demand cooled down, in the European market, sales remained strong backed by stable demand.

In the Asian market, sales continued to be favorable supported by the spread of fishing culture and strong interest in fishing, and coupled with the resumption of economic activity, there arose growing momentum for fishing trips.

In the Australian market, the year started with favorable market conditions, however, sales became somewhat stagnant due to slowing demand.

Under these market conditions, order-taking was brisk for the new spinning reels VANQUISH and the highest-end model lure fishing rods WORLD SHAULA LIMITED, and other products.

As a result, net sales from this segment increased 7.0% from the same period of the previous year to 58,027 million yen, and operating income increased 4.5% to 11,843 million yen.
