■ Fiscal 2006 Performance (Year-on-Year Comparison) (¥ billion)
Years ended March 31
■ Fiscal 2006 Performance Overview
In this business segment, we continued efforts to cut costs and
raise product quality by stepping up manufacturing innovation
initiatives. Sales of PCs were sluggish as individual consumers
postponed purchases prior to the launch of the Windows Vista™
operating system and competition intensified in the business-use
market. Sales of mobile phones, however, were firm. Hard disk
drives (HDDs) also saw strong sales, with record shipments of
2.5-inch drives for notebook PCs and 3.5-inch models for serv-
ers. Overall, the Ubiquitous Product Solutions segment posted a
year-on-year increase in sales of 5.5%, to ¥1,118.3 billion
(US$9,477 million).
Despite bigger-than-anticipated price declines centered on
PCs and 2.5-inch HDDs for notebook PCs due to intense com-
petition in markets worldwide, operating income rose ¥6.8 bil-
lion compared to a year earlier to ¥41.6 billion (US$353 million).
This increase reflected the effect of higher sales of mobile phones,
the growing adoption of HDDs in non-PC fields, and improved
cost efficiency and product quality due to enhanced manufactur-
ing innovation initiatives.
