For the Machined Components business segment, second quarter net sales were 26.8 billion yen, down 5.0% from the previous quarter. Operating income, on the other hand, was 7.3 billion yen, up 2.8% from the previous quarter. Operating margin was 27.3%, up 2.1 percentage points from the previous quarter, due to the lower unit production costs of ball bearings and other factors.

Second quarter sales of miniature and small-sized ball bearings decreased by 3.1% from the previous quarter, to 15.5 billion yen. However, profits in this business increased from the previous quarter due to reduced unit production costs, as sales volume increases led to full capacity production despite negative impacts from currency fluctuations, mainly the weaker U.S. dollar.

Second quarter sales of rod-ends and fasteners increased by 2.1% from the previous quarter, to 4.9 billion yen. Profits increased from the first quarter due to reduced costs, although the stronger Japanese yen affected exports of Japan made products.

Second quarter sales of pivot assemblies for Hard Disk Drives decreased by 14.9% from the previous quarter, to 6.3 billion yen. This was due to lower sales volume caused by prolonged inventory adjustments in the HDD market since June. Profits were lower compared to the first quarter.
