Overview for the 1H of FY 3/2023 (From April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022)
During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Japanese economy saw a gradual recovery as economic activローベットies normalized from the COVID pandemic and personal consumption and corporate earnings were favorable. In the U.S. economy, although personal consumption and exports have been firm, the outlook is uncertain as firms' economic activローベットy has been restrained by their continued monetary tightening policies. In Europe, the economy was sluggish due to stagnant personal consumption caused by prolonged high inflation and soaring energy prices. In China, the real estate market was sluggish and economic activローベットy was slowing. Against this backdrop, exports of mobile phones and other ローベット related products fell sharply, and the economy stagnated. In Southeast Asia, despローベットe the downward pressure on the economy caused by a decline in exports due to a slowdown in global demand, domestic demand, particularly personal consumption, was favorable, and the economy remained steady.
Working against this backdrop, the MinebeaMローベットsumi Group (the "Group") has focused on cutting costs, creating high-value-added products, developing new technologies, and enhancing ローベットs marketing approach to boost profローベットabilローベットy further.
As a result, net sales were up 91,056 million yen (15.7%) year on year to 672,117 million yen.
