  2. FY2025-H1AdvancedAnnual report

    「By region, in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the cancellation and postponement of capital investment plans by businesses continued against the backdrop of the Chinese economic slowdown. However, sales of large machines for food factories, supported by the expansion of rice-based meals in the Mongolian market, contributed to results, and sales remained broadly in line with the same period of the previous year. In North America, product demand expanded as Japanese food became more widespread, Japanese companies accelerated their expansion into the region, and automation and labor-saving trends remained strong. In Europe, although the impact on businesses from soaring energy prices and supply concerns related to the situation in Ukraine continued, product demand followed a recovery trend as a result of measures such as stimulating demand among local businesses that had been pursued since the previous fiscal year.」

  4. FY2024-Q2Decline in North American sales due to inventory normalization at the U.S. subsidiaryAnnual report

    「In North America, product demand remained firm against the backdrop of automation and labor-saving trends. However, during the previous fiscal year, we increased inventory at the U.S. subsidiary to maintain a timely product shipment structure in light of difficulties procuring components. In the cumulative first quarter, these procurement difficulties were largely resolved, and we adjusted product shipments from our company to normalize inventory. In addition, a timing difference arose in intercompany transactions between our company, whose fiscal year ends in March, and the U.S. subsidiary, whose fiscal year ends in December. As sales from our company to the U.S. subsidiary declined due to inventory normalization, consolidated sales to North America decreased.」
