Net sales for the period under review increased by 6.6% from the previous quarter due mainly to seasonal factors of smartphones which contributed to sales increases in modules and capacitors. The figure stood at a level forecasted previously as customers continued securing inventory levels, despite a decrease in production unit volume affected by a shortage of semiconductors and other materials.
Net sales for the first half of the fiscal year showed a huge increase by 20.8% year on year thanks to the significant growth of demand for car electronics, computers and related devices.
