FormulatedEach line is the climb from the baseline the document states to the target it sets. The slope is scaled against the largest climb in this document. For metrics expressed as percentages, differences are shown in percentage points (pt).
Although demand for the Company’s focus markets, including automotive, medical and healthcare, and industrial equipment (IoT wireless communications), remained strong, profitability deteriorated due to a worsening product mix resulting from a sharp decline in orders for the Company’s mainstay smartphone applications, as well as higher raw material prices, labor costs and other expenses. As the arrival of the AI and IoT era is increasing the importance of crystal devices and expanding growth opportunities, the Company will further accelerate the transformation of its business portfolio and strengthen its earnings power and cash-generating capacity.
