「Orders from Tier 1 customers (manufacturers that supply parts to automakers) have moderated since the second quarter (July–September), but have remained at a high level. As a result, cumulative consolidated automotive sales for the third quarter, which account for approximately half of our sales, increased by more than 30% year on year.」

「In the automotive market, which accounts for approximately half of our sales, sales growth at some customers slowed because of the semiconductor shortage, but order levels continued to substantially exceed our sales. As transaction terms continued to improve, second-quarter sales (July–September) remained solid, and cumulative consolidated sales for the second quarter increased to just under 1.5 times the year-earlier level.」

「In the automotive market, which accounts for approximately half of our sales, some automakers were forced to adjust production because of the global semiconductor shortage. However, our automotive sales remained generally solid, with first-quarter sales increasing to just under twice the level of the previous year, when sales fell sharply because of the spread of COVID-19.」

「Although automotive sales fell sharply in the first quarter, they subsequently recovered rapidly, and third-quarter sales (October–December) exceeded the sales level recorded in fiscal 2018, the previous peak.」

「Automotive net sales, which account for nearly half of our net sales, fell in the first quarter to just over 60% of the level in the same quarter of the previous year, but recovered from the May trough, reaching just over 90% of the level in the same quarter of the previous year in the second quarter.」

「Under these conditions, for automotive applications, which had accounted for nearly half of consolidated net sales, order value fell well below the level assumed at the beginning of the fiscal year as the global slump in new-vehicle sales, particularly in China, continued. However, sales volumes increased year on year, mainly for automotive cameras and millimeter-wave radar used in ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) equipment. Meanwhile, demand shifted toward smaller products subject to intensifying price competition, pushing down average selling prices and causing net sales to decline from the same quarter of the previous year.」

「For automotive applications, sales volumes of automotive cameras and millimeter-wave radar used in ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) increased year on year, but sales volumes for powertrain and other applications declined versus plan due to lower new-vehicle sales, limiting the year-on-year increase in total automotive sales volumes. Meanwhile, demand shifted toward smaller products subject to intensifying price competition, pushing down average selling prices and causing net sales to decline year on year.」
