Review of Operations

 

1. Review of Operations

In this Third Quarter, though newly financial crisis of euro zone nation triggered credit impairment, world economy recovered more than originally expected. This recovery is in part due to the strong market expansion in emerging countries, including China, as well as to individual governments having implemented strong economic stimulus measures.

Though demand recovered strongly in emerging country, there is growing risk for future and remained some uncertainty in the outlook of Japanese economy due to sluggish personal consumption, and decline in auto sales due to reduction of consumer incentives by governments

 

In these circumstances, the electronic component market in this Third Quarter persisted strongly. This was due in part to a recovering demand for digital service items, such as handheld terminal, Smartphones and 3D TV in China and other Asian countries. This was also due to activation of capital expenditure for semiconductors influenced recovering demand of semiconductor.

 

Because of these factors, Maruwa's turnover for the Third Quarter was 14,470 million yen, an increase of 37.0% from the same period last year. Similarly, our operating profit was 2,231 million yen, an increase of 247.2% from the same period last year. This improvement has been due to sales increase and to cost reduction. Net income was 1,409 million yen, and increase of 127.7% from the same period last year.

 

2. Operating Results by Business Division

 

The Ceramic Components Division

There is strong demand from China for ceramic substrates, EMC components and thin film circuit substrates, and from Asia for digital consumer products. There is also a large demand for hybrid cars, which use ceramic substrate for power modules.

 

The Third Quarter sales total for the Ceramic Components Division was 13,605 million yen. This is a 40.7% increase from the same period last year, a sign of upward momentum. The operating profit increased 155.0% to 2,694 million yen. This exceeded prior period level, and was due to improved productivity, cost reduction measures and to the contribution of new product offerings with high added value.

 

Lighting Equipment Division

Turnover for LED lighting devices has increased consistently in the public utilities markets, and Maruwa is continuing to press forward with the development of new LED lighting products. The total sales for the Lighting Equipment Division for this Third Quarter were 865 million yen, with an operating loss of 32 million yen.
