Review of Operations
1. Review of Operations
In this consolidated cumulative first quarter, it has gradually risen on
growing expectations of the United States economic recovery due to a rising
trend of capital investment and personal consumption. The European financial
market turmoil has also regained stability and generally recovered. Meanwhile,
emerging markets including China and South-East Asian countries has been under
an uncertain condition because of concerns over slowdown in growth and
frequent political unrest.
In the Japanese economy, market has generally recovered due to improvement of
income environment by turnaround of corporate performance, depreciation of the
yen and rising stock prices led by economic and fiscal policy of 'Abenomics'.
However, the economic condition has still been uncertain because of reverse
effect caused by a last-minute surge in demand due to the consumption tax
hike, slowdown growth of export due to a stagnation of emerging markets and a
high level price of raw materials from yen depreciation.
Under the uncertain market condition, the MARUWA Group's business results
during this quarter has stayed firm especially in ceramic products for power
modules related to energy-savings and environment which are one of our
differentiated products in the ceramic components division. On the other hand,
in the lighting equipment division, the plans of construction period will be
delayed after the second half of the fiscal year and it seems to be difficult
to achieve the prior forecast. This is because of soaring of personnel expense
and material price due to the increase of demand for construction (i.g.
reconstruction demand for Tohoku and facility maintenance for Tokyo
Olympics).
The forecast of this fiscal year, however, remains unchanged from the prior
forecast because it is expected to continue to steadily increase in the
ceramic components division.
As a result, our consolidated sales were 7,516 million yen (decrease 2.6% year
on year). Our operating income was 450 million yen (decrease 45.6% year on
year). Ordinary profit was 550 million yen (decrease 42.2% year on year). Net
income was 358 million yen (decrease 47.3% year on year).
2.Operating Results by Business Division
The Ceramic Components Division
The total sales for this business segment was 5,637 million yen (up 10.8% year
on year).
Markets related to energy-saving and environment are still brisk and the sales
of ceramic products for HEV and LED remained strong.
Lighting Equipment Division
The total sales for this business segment was 1,879 million yen (decrease
28.4% year on year).
The recording of sales and profits will be delayed after the second quarter
because construction plans were delayed while orders were increased. An
operating loss was 316 million yen (compared with an operating profit 37
million yen of the previous fiscal year).
Regarding profits, we are further strengthening the structure of YAMAGIWA and
it steadily produces results. We will continue to develop and expand sales of
ceramic LED modules and lighting equipment.
