Risk of additional processing hours and lower profitability during the quality maturation process for molds intended for sale

「Based on our strength in ultra-high-tensile steel processing technology, our group manufactures and sells dies and other tools required to produce automotive press-formed parts. To produce higher-quality tools sold to customers, estimated additional manufacturing costs may increase due to factors including increased processing hours during the quality-maturation process, resulting in lower profitability for tools sold to customers and other products.」

「Our group is working to minimize differences between estimated and actual manufacturing costs for each die by refining the precision of forming analysis, introducing advanced equipment, and further developing and deepening the die-manufacturing expertise and production technologies accumulated since our founding. We also maintain strict cost controls, including monthly reviews of manufacturing costs through evaluation meetings and other forums.」

「Based on our strength in ultra-high-tensile steel processing technology, our group manufactures and sells the dies required to produce automotive press-formed parts. Although we forecast processing hours, prepare cost budgets by vehicle model and proceed with production accordingly, actual manufacturing costs at completion may increase beyond expectations and profitability may decline due to factors including increased processing hours during the quality-maturation process for producing higher-quality dies and other tools sold to customers.」
