Net Sales Breakdown by Business Segment
Energy and Electric Systems
The social infrastructure systems business saw year-on-year increases in orders and sales owing to growth in power generation and public worksrelated businesses in Japan as well as electric equipment for rolling stock in the domestic and overseas markets.
The building systems business experienced a decline in orders and sales compared with the previous fiscal year due to falling global demand for elevators and escalators as well as the postponement and cessation of major projects.
As a result, total sales in the Energy and Electric Systems segment amounted to ¥1,039.7 billion, virtually unchanged from the previous fiscal year, and operating income increased by ¥0.2 billion to ¥74.7 billion, owing to cost reduction.
Turbine generators, hydraulic turbine generators, nuclear power plant equipment, motors, transformers, power electronics equipment, circuit breakers, gas insulated switches, switch control devices, surveillance system control and security systems, large display devices, electrical equipment for locomotives and rolling stock, elevators, escalators, building security systems, particle beam treatment systems, and others
Industrial Automation Systems
The factory automation systems business suffered decreases in orders and sales compared with the previous fiscal year due to declines in global demand until the second quarter of the fiscal year under review for industrial machinery and domestic demand for surface mounting system-related products.
The automotive equipment business saw decreases in orders and sales on the back of reductions in global demand until the second quarter of the fiscal year under review. This occurred despite a rise in sales of some products attributable to the impact of sales-promotion measures implemented by individual countries.
As a result, total sales in the Industrial Automation Systems segment were ¥733.1 billion, a 14% decline year on year. Due to a fall in sales, operating income stood at ¥26.1 billion, down ¥23.8 billion.
Programmable logic controllers, inverters, servomotors, human-machine interface, motors, hoists, magnetic switches, no-fuse circuit breakers, short circuit breakers, transformers for electricity distribution, time and power meters, uninterruptible power supply, industrial fans machines, computerized numerical controllers, electrical discharge machines, laser processing machines, industrial robots, clutches, automotive electrical equipment, car electronics and car mechatronics, car multimedia, and others
Information and Communication Systems
The telecommunications equipment business experienced reductions in orders and sales due to decreased demand for optical broadband access systems.
The information systems and services business recorded a year-on-year decline as a result of a drop in sales related to such businesses as systems integration amid falling demand for IT investment.
In the electronic systems business, orders exceeded the previous fiscal year as a result of such major contracts as Himawari-8 and -9—Japan's next generation Geostationary Meteorological Satellites (GMS). However, year-onyear sales fell due to a decrease in the electronic business.
As a result, total sales in the Information and Communication Systems segment amounted to ¥526.2 billion, down 10% year on year, while operating income declined by ¥6.2 billion to ¥18.7 billion due to lower sales.
Wireless and wired communications systems, surveillance cameras, satellite communications equipment, satellites, radar equipment, antennas, missile systems, fire control systems, broadcasting equipment, data transmission devices, network security systems, information systems equipment, systems integration, and others
Electronic Devices
The semiconductor business experienced a year-on-year increase in orders owing to such factors as a rapid rise in demand for power semiconductors for consumer use. However, sales fell compared with the previous fiscal year.
Orders and sales in the LCD module business were below the previous fiscal year due to sluggish demand for industry use and other products until the second quarter of the fiscal year under review.
As a result, total sales in the Electronic Devices segment were ¥139.0 billion, down 17% year on year. Operating loss improved by ¥22.7 billion compared with the previous fiscal year to ¥7.1 billion, owing to cost reduction.
Power modules, high-frequency devices, optical devices, LCD devices, microcomputers, system LSIs, and others
Home Appliances
Sales in the Home Appliances segment decreased by 10% year on year to ¥824.7 billion due to a drop in domestic and overseas sales of air conditioners and overseas sales of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
This decrease occurred despite increased domestic sales of PV systems, LCD televisions and other products, owing mainly to government subsidies such as the "eco-points" incentive.
Operating income fell by ¥29.9 billion compared with the previous fiscal year to ¥4.8 billion because of declines in sales.
LCD televisions, projection TVs, display monitors, projectors, DVD players and recorders, room air conditioners, package air conditioners, air-to-water heat pump boilers, refrigerators, electric fans, ventilators, photovoltaic systems, hot water supply systems, fluorescent lamps, indoor lighting, compressors, chillers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air purifiers, showcases, cleaners, microwave ovens, IH cooking heaters, and others
Others
Sales in the Others segment amounted to ¥553.0 billion, down 7%, and, in turn, operating income stood at ¥3.2 billion, a ¥9.1 billion decline compared with the previous fiscal year. These decreases are primarily due to weak showings by affiliated companies, particularly those engaged in materials procurement, logistics and related activities.
Procurement, logistics, real estate, advertising, finance and other services
