Summary of Consolidated Results for 1H/FY2024

Net sales and operating income increased year-on-year, exceeding the previous FCST in August.

  • Net sales growth was partially supported by positive Fx impact. Both seal and electronic product segment showed OP increase.
  • Significant growth in electronic product segment driven by earlier demand peak for smartphones this year.
  • Ordinary income and net income also increased, but relatively smaller because of Fx gain (non-operating income) and gain from sale of investment securities (extraordinary income) recorded in 1H/FY23.
