(3) Reasons for revisions

During the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, while uncertainties persisted due to the global shortage of semiconductors and the continued tight supply and demand situation in logistics, soaring prices of crude oil, natural gas, and other energy sources associated with the prolonged situation in Ukraine, the sharp depreciation of the yen, and further accelerating inflation, strong sales of smartphones by client manufacturers led to firm sales of products for mobile devices, and the weakening yen further contributed to our financial results.

In the second quarter of the fiscal year under review, sales of Module and System products increased due to the recovery of automobile production, and operating income improved significantly due to the strengthening of activities to optimize transactions with customers in response to soaring materials and logistics costs, current cost reduction measures, and the contribution of the weaker yen to our financial results. Ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent exceeded the previous forecast mainly due to foreign exchange gains resulting from the weaker-than- expected yen (US$1 = ¥120 and EUR1 = ¥130).

With regard to the full-year consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, we expect the uncertain situation from the first half of the year to continue from the third quarter onward. At the same, we expect an increase in operating income due to increased net sales from sales of products for new vehicles in the Module and System segment and recovery of development costs from automobile manufacturers among others.

Factoring this situation into financial results, the Company has revised its consolidated financial results forecasts for net sales, operating income, ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent that the Company announced on April 28, 2022.

We assume exchange rates of US$1 = ¥135 and EUR1 = ¥135 from the third quarter onward.

Note:

The above forecasts are based on information available as of the date this announcement was released. Actual results may differ from the forecasted figures due to various factors arising in the future.
