Back to Financial Results (FY3/2022)

Investor Meeting Presentation for 2Q of FY3/2022 held on November 5, 2021

In the latter half, bearings were impacted by the semiconductor shortage, but with historically low inventory levels, every month there are still 100 million yen in air charges. This time around we hope to achieve sound growth by optimizing inventory. For that reason, we will come up with detailed criteria such as holding more inventory for those items that have a longer distribution lead time.

In regard to our road map for production capacity, our greatest achievement was increasing production by 10 million units, going from 315 million to 325 million units through productivity improvement. Machines will gradually be coming in from the 10.0 billion yen investment already discussed. However, these deliveries have also been pushed back due to the semiconductor shortage. We hope to somehow get all lines up and running by around August of next year to reach 345 million units. Furthermore, we hope to enhance our overwhelming competitiveness and supply capacity of ball bearings by increasing our production capacity to 365 million units with an additional investment of 10.0 billion yen.

As for aircraft components, we expect to return to pre-COVID-19 levels on a monthly basis between the latter half of next year and the first half of the year after next. One of our new businesses is the landing gear with new functions you can see on the left side of the photo. Normally, a special vehicle such as a truck is used to push the aircraft back, but in this undertaking, we put a motor in the wheels and motorized them. Lightweight ceramic bearings offering high efficiency rotation from our subsidiary CEROBEAR were used. This is a very exciting example.
