Overview of FY2024

Main Points of Results

Business Environment

■The global economy showed signs of a gradual pickup, partly due to subdued inflation, although growth slowed in some regions.

■The outlook remained uncertain, mainly reflecting the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, the Middle East situation, the stagnation of the real estate market in China and the remaining high policy interest rates in Europe and the United States, as well as unstable foreign exchange rates.

■The camera market contracted largely due to the popularization of smartphones. Nonetheless, demand remained firm for interchangeable lens digital cameras and interchangeable lenses in the mirrorless camera market in particular, reflecting solid demand from professional and amateur photographers who seek to express high-quality images.

■The semiconductor lithography system market saw strong demand for equipment due to increased demand for power semiconductor devices and for memory and logic semiconductors used in generated AI.

■FPD lithography system market showed an improving trend in demand despite weak capex spending by panel makers.

Outlook for FY2024

■Sales of optical business declined because sales of optical press products and block optical glass products did not recover to the level of the previous fiscal year, although inventory adjustments in the supply chain for interchangeable lens applications were mostly resolved in the fourth quarter.

■Sales in the electronics business increased due to strong sales of both special glass and glass-ceramics and quartz glass, reflecting continued strong demand for semiconductor lithography equipment applications.

■Operating profit decreased, although overall operating profit recovered to the same level as the previous year due to a gradual improvement in the utilization ratio of production facilities in the optical business after bottoming out in the second quarter and an increase in sales of high value-added products in the electronics business.
