Financial Data

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the global economy experienced a slowdown in the recovery of business conditions due to soaring resource and energy prices following the prolonged Russian invasion of Ukraine, rising policy interest rates accompanying accelerated inflation in Europe and the United States, and the re-expansion of infection in China. In the U.S., the economy remained firm due to a recovery in personal consumption and other factors, but in Europe, although the economy had been recovering, it remained sluggish due to soaring prices of energy and other commodities. In China, the economy slowed down due to factors such as the sluggish real estate market, and in Japan, although economic activities normalized, business conditions remained uncertain due to the weak yen, soaring energy prices, supply instability, and deteriorating procurement environment for semiconductors and other products.

Meanwhile, net sales amounted to ¥106,381 million (up 7.2% year on year), and backlog of orders amounted to ¥52,172 million (up 17.5% year on year).
