factors made a particularly large contribution to earnings
in the second half of the year, which partially offset a
substantial decline in the fi rst half.
In the Electronic Components and Others Segment,
the slide in unit selling prices of TFT-LCDs combined with
a loss posted by Casio Micronics to produce an operating
loss of ¥3.2 billion.
As a result of the above, total operating income on a
consolidated basis was down 21.5% from the previous
year’s fi gure, at ¥37.7 billion. The operating margin for the
reporting term was 6.1%.
Net income was down by 51.5% year-on-year, at ¥12.1
billion, owing to the impact of extraordinary losses on the
transfer to Hitachi Cable, Ltd. of the Film Device Business
of Casio Micronics Co., Ltd.
For the reporting term, we plan to pay an ordinary
dividend of ¥23 per share, unchanged from the previous
term, plus a special commemorative dividend of ¥10
per share (in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the
Company’s establishment), for a total per-share dividend
of ¥33.
