Overview for the 1Q of FY 3/2023 (From April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022)
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Japanese economy showed signs of a moderate recovery owing to the easing of COVID-19 related restrictions on movement. However, the recovery was limited due to soaring raw materials prices and an increase in the cost of living arising from rapid depreciation of the yen. In the United States, normalization of economic activity progressed with the easing of logistical supply constraints, but policy interest rates were raised aggressively to curb inflation, so the future remains uncertain. In Europe, the cost of living has increased sharply due to a reduced supply of natural resources from Russia in conjunction with aggression against Ukraine, so the economy has retracted. In China, economic activity was stagnant due to tight restrictions on movement to stop the spread of COVID-19, but internal demand is gradually recovering as restrictions on economic activity are eased. In Southeast Asia, the return of economic activity following the pandemic ensured economic recovery was on track.
Working against this backdrop, the MinebeaMitsumi Group concentrated on cutting costs, creating high-value-added products, developing new technologies, and enhancing its marketing approach to boost profitability further.
As a result, net sales were up 2,735 million yen (1.1%) year on year to 251,040 million yen. Operating income was down 5,373 million yen (-27.4%) year on year to 14,255 million yen, profit before income taxes was down 5,329 million yen (-27.2%) to 14,274 million yen, and profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent was down 3,925 million yen (-26.8%) to 10,734 million yen.
