(1) Review of operations

   The world economy tended in general toward recovery in this fiscal year, though there is political instability in North Africa and Middle East and financial crisis in Euro zone nations triggered credit impairment. The trend toward recovery is in part due to the strong market expansion in emerging countries, particularly China, and the recovering American economy.

 

The recovery of the world economy caused an increase in production activity and profit in Japan. There was gradual recovery in terms of individual consumption, employment and income due to government-led economic policy. As a result of these factors, the Japanese economy in the first half was on a recovery trend.

 

However the economy has not attained a full-scale recovery in the second half due to a slowdown since autumn. This has been caused by the sharp rise and continuation of a strong yen. This has resulted in rising raw material costs, mainly in terms of crude oil. Additionally, economic conditions have deteriorated due to the occurrence of the devastating Tohoku Earthquake on 2011/3/11.

 

In these circumstances, the electronic component market in the first half of the fiscal year was strong. This was due in part to a recovering consumer demand, fueled by the expansion of digital service items in China and other Asian countries. This was also due to activation of capital expenditure for semiconductors, which then influenced a recovering demand for semiconductors.

 

In the second half, though there was an impact from the slowdown of the recovering economy, we worked actively to build up new product lines in the areas of energy saving, ecology-related products, such as HEV, LED lighting and new products for information terminal markets, mainly for smartphone use.

 

Because of these factors, Maruwa's turnover for this fiscal year was 20,011 million yen. (This is up 29.9% compared to last year.) 

 

We improved production profitability in order to be able to take appropriate countermeasures against rapid changes in the market climate. This was achieved through improvement of production yield, lead time and cost reduction. As a result, our operating income was 3,035 million yen, up 135.4% compared to last year. Our net income was 2,012 million yen, an increase of 82.1% compared to last year.

 2. Review of operating results by business segment

 

Ceramic Components

The total sales for this business segment was 18,061 million yen, up 32.9% compared to last year. An increase in orders was sustained due to the recovering demand for digital consumer products in China and other Asian countries. Ceramics for power modules for the energy saving, ecology related market, such as HEV, EV and wind power generators, made good progress.

 

The operating income was 3,498 million yen(up 105.2% compared to last year) we exceeded the level of the previous year due to improvement in productivity of existing products, cost reduction and contribution of new product offerings with high added value.

 

 

Lighting Equipment

Total sales of the Lighting Equipment segment was 1,950 million yen, up 7.3 % compared to last year. Operating income was 136 million yen, up 31% compared to last year.

 

The sales of traditional lighting equipment are decreasing.

However, sales for LED lighting equipment are rising, and new product development in this area and expansion of sales are improving operational profit. There is increased demand for ecology related products, such as LED lighting.

4. Outlook for the next fiscal year

 

The outlook for the future economy is characterized by a persistent wariness caused by the financial crisis in Euro zone nations triggering credit impairment and by political instability in North Africa and Middle East. However, a general trend toward recovery is predicted due to continuing upward momentum in America and economic growth in China and other emerging countries.

 

Meanwhile, the total scale of the damage caused by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake is still uncertain, and an unpredictable atmosphere is expected to remain.

 

However, the energy saving, ecology related market in which we situate our growth strategy, is expected to grow at a solid rate.

Furthermore, new products for smartphone and other information terminal markets are expected to expand rapidly.

 

For capital investment, we will invest actively in the energy saving, ecology related market. We will also invest in new R&D, with increased staff, to work for the development of new products, with high added value.

 

We forecast that consolidated sales for the next fiscal year will be 23,100 million yen, up 15.4% compared to last year. In terms of operating income, net income is expected to be 3,560 million yen, up17.3%   compared to last year, 2,210 million yen (Up9.9% compared to last year).

 

We will strengthen the corporate structure and improve profitability, which will benefit all stakeholders, including shareholders.

 

Cautionary statements: The above forecasts are based on the present business environment and currently-available information, and include forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. The reader is cautioned not to place reliance entirely on the above forecast for making investment decisions. Due to a number of factors, such as future economic situations and market environment changes, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
