1. FY2023 Q1 Summary

Economic Market Trends

  • The global economy has seen inflation persist despite the continuing monetary tightening by central banks in various countries to control inflation and, with Russia's prolonged aggression in Ukraine showing no end in sight, its growth is slowing. Although the increase in transport costs has subsided, inflation is driving not only higher labor costs but also higher costs in a wide range of areas including fuel and components costs, which is having a growing impact.
  • The domestic market for material handling equipment remained firm at pre-COVID-19 levels. Overseas demand in the Americas has continued to exceed pre-COVID-19 levels, as it did in the previous fiscal year, due to stable logistics needs despite economic slowdowns. Europe's economy has stagnated, in part due to the impacts of inflation. Although demand is trending downward, it is remaining at pre-COVID-19 levels. Asia has weakened slightly because of inflation and increasing interest rates. China is showing signs of recovery due to the lifting of the zero-COVID policy but behind market expectations.
  • At Mitsubishi Logisnext, the problem of longer lead times due to delays in the supply of various components is gradually abating but high costs persist. The Group as a whole secured sufficient orders and worked on achieving production improvements by eliminating components shortages in Japan and overseas, accelerating shipments.

Summary of FY2023 Q1 Results

  • Net sales increased by 22.8% YoY due to an increase in units sold mainly in Japan and the Americas, as well as the effects of price optimization.
  • Operating profit before amortization of goodwill increased 1,077.3% YoY despite inflationary cost increases because net sales increased contribute to the acceleration of shipments and the effects of price optimization.
