Fiscal Year 2021

Non-consolidated net sales for the third quarter were JPY 167.9B, achieving 98.8% of the most recent forecast for non-consolidated net sales (net sales of JPY 170B).

Sales for equipment products, including for precision processing equipment, are recorded when the equipment is inspected/accepted by the customer. Since net sales tend to deviate from the market trends, the shipment amounts, which link more closely with the market, are disclosed below for reference.

Non-Consolidated Shipment Figures for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022 (Quarterly Transition)

						(Billions of yen)
	1Q	2Q	1H	3Q	4Q	2H	Full year
Shipment Amount	61.0	60.9	121.9	67.3	-	-	-
YoY % Change	14.7%	22.1%	18.3%	16.7%	-	-	-
QoQ % Change	6.5%	-0.1%		10.5%	-
(Reference)	53.1	49.8	103.0	57.6	57.2	114.9	218.0
Fiscal Year 2021

Non-consolidated net shipments for the third quarter (October-December) were JPY 67.3B, a year-on-year increase of 16.7% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 10.5%.

For precision processing equipment shipments, demand for semiconductor mass production appears to be slowing down, but strong demand for some applications, such as power semiconductors, supported the whole. In addition, precision processing tool (consumable) shipments were weak relative to average annual seasonal figures but were almost in line with expectations.

The official financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 will be announced on January 24, 2023.
