- Results for First Half of FY 2022
Revenue for the first half of fiscal 2022 increased by 42.3 billion yen year on year due to sales growth in the Technology Solutions segment, in addition to strong sales of electronic components in the Device Solutions segment, despite the impact of lower revenue due to component supply delays caused by the semiconductor shortage.
Operating profit overall increased by 19.4 billion yen year on year, due to the increased profit resulting from the increased revenue in the Technology Solutions and Device Solutions segments, the effect of DX human resource initiatives implemented in the previous fiscal year, and the progress of the improvement of profitability through productivity improvements as planned, in addition to the recording of one-time gains from the business transfer. This was despite the negative impact on profit from component supply delays, and aggressive expansion of investments for business growth and our own transformation.

Overview by Business Segment
Technology Solutions
Revenue in the Technology Solutions segment increased overall as revenue increased for SI/Services of Solutions/Services and in the International Regions Excluding Japan, making up for the revenue decline due to component supply delays.
Revenue in the Solutions/Services increased mainly in manufacturing and finance businesses of SI/Services, but overall revenue declined due to the impact of component supply delays on business selling solutions and hardware together.
Revenue in the System Platforms increased due to an increase in materials caused by recovery from the effects of component supply delays.
Revenue in the International Regions Excluding Japan increased mainly in the Asia Pacific Region.
Operating profit was affected by expanded investments for growth, component supply delays, and an increase in procurement costs that was due to exchange rate fluctuations. However, in addition to the aforementioned revenue growth effect, profitability improved due to cost efficiency improvements and the effect of DX human resource initiatives, as well as one-time gains from the business transfer, resulting in an increase in operating profit year on year.
