Financial Results for FY2021 Q2

In addition to positive FX effects, the Machinery business performed well, resulting in higher revenue. Business segment profit reached the same level as the previous year, an all-time high for the second quarter since the transition to IFRS.

Sales revenue was up 12.5% year-on-year to 176.5 billion yen.

In the P&S business, there were supply restrictions due to lower operating rates at factories, but the strong demand for hardware used by people working from home continued, and due to this and effects from improvement in the product mix and price responses as well as firm performance by consumables, revenue increased.

In the Machinery business, revenue increased substantially, mainly as a result of strong performance by machine tools for the automobile industry in China as well as a recovery of demand for capital investment in industrial sewing machines among apparel manufacturers.

Business segment profit was 23.2 billion yen.

Although logistics costs and parts and materials costs were higher, business segment profit remained flat year-on-year as a result of higher gross profit in the Machinery and P&S businesses and positive FX effects.

Forecast for FY2021

The forecast for each measure of profit has been revised upward in response to positive FX effects due to a weaker yen than anticipated and higher profit in the P&S business, mainly in the second quarter.
