Overview of FY2024 3Q

Main Points of Results

Business Environment

■Signs of a gradual recovery were observed in the global economy, reflecting the easing of inflation, although economic activity remained sluggish in some areas.

■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 remained sluggish given weak investment by panel manufacturers.

Outlook for FY2024

■Although inventory adjustments in the supply chain for interchangeable lens applications, which account for a large portion of optical business sales, are recovering after bottoming out in the second quarter, both pressed optical glass products and block optical glass products failed to reach the level of the same period of the previous year in the cumulative third quarter.

■Sales in the electronics business were strong for both special glass and glass-ceramics and quartz glass due to continued strong demand for semiconductor lithography system applications and sales of special glass and glass-ceramics for space astronomy applications in the third quarter.

■Operating profit is on a recovery trend due to gradually better utilization of production facilities in the optical business this fiscal year and increased sales of high value-added products in the electronics business.
