1. Overview of financial results and others (1) Overview of financial results1) Overview for the current fiscal year
The business environment for the azbil Group is as follows.
In the field of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control equipment/systems for large-scale buildings in Japan, strong demand driven by urban redevelopment plans has continued while retrofit demand, including interest in solutions for energy saving and lower CO2 emissions, has remained strong. As regards equipment/systems for production facilities, demand remained firm thanks to the decarbonizing of factories/plants and the promotion of DX, but demand in factory automation (FA) markets was seen to vary depending on the region and market.
As a result, financial results for the current consolidated fiscal year were as follows.
Orders received were 302,366 million yen overall, down 0.8% on the 304,723 million yen recorded in the previous consolidated fiscal year. Although there was an increase in the Building Automation (BA) business-which recorded large-scale projects, in Japan and abroad, against a backdrop of robust market conditions, while also benefitting from the implementation of various measures-there was a significant drop in orders received in the Life Automation (LA) business due to the transfer, in the previous consolidated fiscal year, of equity interests in Azbil Telstar,
S.L.U. Note 1 (hereinafter referred to as "Azbil Telstar"), a company which had played a central role in the Life Science Engineering field.
For the same reason there was a sharp drop in LA business sales. Accordingly, in spite of sales growth in the BA business, mainly in the fields for existing buildings and service, and also in the Advanced Automation (AA) business, mainly in the domestic and overseas process automation (PA) markets, net sales were 298,930 million yen, down 0.5% on the 300,378 million yen recorded in the previous consolidated fiscal year.
As regards profits, despite the recording of R&D expenses required by the medium-term plan, as well as increases in DX-related, personnel and other expenses, operating income was 47,304 million yen, up 14.0% on the 41,486 million yen recorded in previous consolidated fiscal year; this significant growth was mainly due to measures to enhance profitability, including cost pass-through. Ordinary income-which improved mainly due to the growth in operating income-also increased significantly to 48,760 million yen, up 15.6% on the 42,170 million yen recorded in the previous consolidated fiscal year, when a figure of 42,170 million yen was recorded. Net income attributable to owners of parent was 38,565 million yen, down 5.8% on the 40,955 million yen recorded in the previous consolidated fiscal year; this was primarily due to the recording of gain on sale of equity interests in Azbil Telstar (approx. 7.6 billion yen) as extraordinary income in the previous consolidated fiscal year.
