FY2025 1H Earnings Overview

Market Conditions and Our Initiatives in FY 2025 1H

Market and Demand Trends

  • The anticipated impact of trade policy was milder than expected, though the extent varied by region.

    • Japan and Europe: Weak demand in the automotive industry

    • U.S., China, and Asia: Steady demand in telecommunications and electronics

      Our Company's Performance

  • Growth: Increased sales offset the effects of tariffs and currency fluctuations, resulting in higher sales.

  • Profitability: Although there were several factors negatively impacting profits-such as tariffs, forex, and costs related to the Fictiv acquisition-overall results were roughly in line with the initial plan.

    Strategy Execution & Foundation Strengthening

  • We continued to balance short-term and mid-term measures, with steady progress made in our Digital MODEL initiatives.

  • Investments to strengthen the business foundation, which are essential for sustainable growth, also continued.

  • Since July, Fictiv's performance, now included in our consolidated results, has been strong, and the integration plan is proceeding smoothly.

FY2025 1H Earnings Overview

Growth of +3.9% year-over-year due to the effects of proprietary initiatives. Record-high performance continued pre-Fictiv consolidation.

Higher sales volumes balanced out tariffs and forex, but profit still fell YoY because of growth-

related investments, including Fictiv.

FY2025 1H Sales and Operating Income by Business Segment

FA: Sales experienced growth due to proprietary initiatives including meviy, Economy products, and D-JIT. The integration of Fictiv contributed to additional sales expansion.

Die Components: Although demand in the automotive sector remains sluggish, growth in China and Asia has offset this, resulting in only a slight year-over-year decrease in sales.

VONA: Achieved increased sales and profit by capturing mass production demand, mainly in China and Asia.

Progress of Integration Plan

The integration plan designed to create synergies is on track and has already produced results surpassing our original expectations.

  1. Lean Transformation

    • Manufacturing of Fictiv products at MISUMI's collaborative factories began, contributing to cost reduction.

    • Cost savings have also begun through the consolidation of international and the U.S. domestic transportation providers.

    • Additional savings are under consideration through integration of AWS and consolidation of insurance contracts.

  2. Cross-selling

    • Joint sales activities to MISUMI customers commenced, acquiring multiple large orders due to MISUMI's credibility.

    • We will initiate sales of MISUMI products to Fictiv customers.

  3. Expansion of business domain (Product development domain)

    • Trial marketing for a new business targeting a select customer group in the Americas market has commenced.
