Review of Operations
Net sales: ¥70,423 million
Industrial sewing machines
Net sales dipped 9.8% year-on-year to ¥21,750 million, owing to weak demand in the second half for capital
investments in garment manufacturing industries mainly in China and other Asian countries.
Machine tools
Net sales rose 15.0% compared to the previous fiscal year to ¥48,672 million thanks to robust demand mainly
from China and other Asian countries.
Operating income: ¥8,345 million
An increase in sales of machine tools helped boost operating income by 11.4% year-on-year to ¥8,345 million.
Net sales: ¥45,924 million
Net sales dropped 13.0% year-on-year to ¥45,924 million due primarily to the after effects of the Great East
Japan Earthquake.
Operating loss: ¥19 million
Despite improving on the previous year’s loss thanks to reductions in selling, general and administrative
expenses, a decline in sales resulted in a second consecutive operating loss.
