「While continuing to implement measures to address soaring material prices,」
Measures to address soaring material prices continue to be implemented. The filing does not describe any reduction in the price surge risk itself or the specific effects of the measures. - FY2023-Q2RestatedAnnual report
「Concerns remain about downside economic risks, including inflation caused by soaring resource prices and foreign exchange fluctuations resulting from yen depreciation.」
The company continues to describe risks in the procurement and cost environment from soaring resource prices, inflation, yen depreciation, and foreign exchange fluctuations. It also states that measures to address soaring material prices are being implemented. - FY2023-Q1RestatedAnnual report
「The outlook remains uncertain owing to inflation caused by higher resource prices and other factors, as well as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.」
The company continues to describe uncertainty in the procurement and cost environment resulting from higher resource prices, inflation, and foreign exchange fluctuations. - FY2022WorsenedAnnual report
「For approximately the past 10 years, procurement prices for key raw materials had been stable and quantities had never been scarce, but since last year, stainless steel prices have become significantly more volatile.」
The company explicitly notes a shift from a previously stable procurement environment to one involving fluctuations in stainless steel prices, semiconductor shortages, and foreign exchange fluctuations, among other factors. - FY2022-Q3WorsenedAnnual report
「The outlook remains uncertain owing to the semiconductor shortage since last year caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, rising prices for raw materials including steel, and foreign exchange fluctuations resulting from the rapid depreciation of the yen. The global economy is also facing growing uncertainty as the prolonged situation in Ukraine destabilizes the world and affects supply chains for crude oil, grain, and other commodities, causing prices of a wide range of goods directly linked not only to economic activity but also to daily life to surge to unprecedented levels.」
In addition to the semiconductor shortage and rising raw material prices, the rapid depreciation of the yen, the prolonged situation in Ukraine, and the impact on supply chains for crude oil and other commodities are explicitly noted, increasing uncertainty in the procurement and cost environment. - FY2022-Q2WorsenedAnnual report
「Many concerns remain, including the global semiconductor shortage and soaring raw material prices. The outlook also remains uncertain owing to worsening international conditions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and soaring resource prices.」
In addition to the semiconductor shortage and soaring raw material prices, worsening international conditions and soaring resource prices are explicitly noted, intensifying concerns about procurement prices and supply. - FY2022-Q1WorsenedAnnual report
「Many concerns remain, including the semiconductor shortage and delays in the supply of raw materials and parts, and the outlook for the economic recovery remains uncertain.」
In addition to the semiconductor shortage, delays in the supply of raw materials and parts are explicitly noted, highlighting procurement and supply concerns. - FY2021nullAnnual report
「If geopolitical risks make stable procurement of raw materials difficult or cause procurement prices to rise, insufficient efforts to secure alternative suppliers, reduce manufacturing costs, or pass higher costs through to selling prices could affect the company's business performance.」
For stainless steel, electronic components, pumps, motors, and other items, the company is implementing measures including alternative parts, multiple suppliers, and manufacturing cost reductions.
