「The higher utilization rate of the coating machine, a core facility shared across the businesses, among other factors, resulted in higher profit year on year. As a result, revenue was ¥6,518 million (¥5,634 million in the same period of the previous year, up 15.7% year on year), and segment operating profit was ¥608 million (profit of ¥186 million in the same period, up 226.9%).」
In the semiconductor and display-related businesses, the higher utilization rate of the shared core coating machine and higher revenue from optical films contributed to profit improvement, resulting in substantial increases in full-year revenue and operating profit. - FY2024-Q3AdvancedAnnual report
「In terms of profit, although new product development costs increased, prototype production and testing fees for new products exceeded the initial forecast. In addition, the effect of higher revenue in the optical film SBU and the higher utilization rate of the coating machine, a core facility shared across the businesses, among other factors, resulted in higher profit year on year. As a result, revenue was ¥4,984 million (¥4,261 million in the same period of the previous year, up 17.0% year on year), and segment operating profit was ¥416 million (profit of ¥157 million in the same period, up 163.7%).」
Higher utilization of the shared core coating machine, prototype production and testing fees for new products, and higher revenue from optical films significantly improved revenue and operating profit in the semiconductor and display-related businesses. - FY2024-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「In terms of profit, although new product development costs increased, profit rose year on year due to the effect of higher revenue in the optical film SBU and the higher utilization rate of the coating machine, a core facility shared across the businesses, among other factors. As a result, revenue was ¥3,399 million (¥2,948 million in the same period of the previous year, up 15.3% year on year), and segment operating profit was ¥302 million (profit of ¥202 million in the same period, up 49.2%).」
In the semiconductor and display-related businesses, the higher utilization rate of the shared core coating machine contributed to profit improvement alongside the effect of higher revenue, resulting in revenue growth of 15.3% and operating profit growth of 49.2%. - FY2024-Q1First statedAnnual report
「The revenue impact of the decline in the semiconductor-related business was offset by increased orders in the display-related business, which shares the main production facilities. This was accompanied by the positive effects of the increased penetration of price pass-through initiatives since the previous consolidated fiscal year and the weaker yen, among other factors.」
For the first time, the company specifically described the operating relationship in which the semiconductor-related and display-related businesses share the main production facilities, with increased display-related orders offsetting the revenue decline in the semiconductor-related business.
