「In the Functional Materials Business, the Company expected demand for carriers to recover from fiscal 2023, while sales expansion of new functional materials was expected to proceed as planned, although the transition to mass production was approximately 2 years behind the original plan.」
The Company indicated that new functional materials would transition to mass production approximately 2 years behind the original plan, while sales expansion was expected to proceed as planned. - FY2024-Q3RestatedAnnual report
「In this segment, sales of electrophotographic carriers declined due to lower sales volumes, partly because the impact of distribution inventory adjustments persisted, despite progress in appropriately revising selling prices to reflect higher energy and raw material costs and increased sales of new functional materials. As a result, net sales were ¥5,539 million, down 7.0% year on year.」
Sales of new functional materials continued to increase, but lower carrier sales volumes due to distribution inventory adjustments drove a decline in revenue for the Functional Materials Business. - FY2024-Q2RestatedAnnual report
「In this segment, sales of electrophotographic carriers declined due to lower sales volumes resulting from customers' distribution inventory adjustments, despite progress in appropriately revising selling prices to reflect higher energy and raw material costs and increased sales of new functional materials. As a result, net sales were ¥3,686 million, down 4.6% year on year.」
Sales of new functional materials continued to increase, but lower carrier sales volumes due to distribution inventory adjustments and other factors drove a decline in revenue for the Functional Materials Business as a whole. - FY2024-Q1AdvancedAnnual report
「In this segment, revenue was ¥1,993 million, up 5.6% year on year, as the company proceeded with appropriate sales price adjustments in response to higher energy and raw material prices and increased sales of new functional materials.」
For new functional materials whose transition to full-scale mass production had been reported as delayed, increased sales were recorded in the quarter. However, completion of the transition to full-scale mass production was not reported. - FY2023SoftenedAnnual report
「For new functional materials, the transition to full-scale mass production has been delayed due to the impact of the global slowdown in IT-related business activity.」
The Company stated that the transition to full-scale mass production of new functional materials, including fine ferrite powder, has been delayed, indicating slower progress toward the previously stated goals of mass production and establishing a supply system. - FY2022First statedAnnual report
