Regulatory and supply-demand fluctuations affecting environmental and process analyzers

「国内事業において、期首受注残高の減少等の影響により減収となりました。」

「Domestic business sales declined because semiconductor plant construction plans were postponed and public infrastructure demand remained weak. Overseas business sales also declined, as strong sales of semiconductor-related products to Taiwan were offset by lower-than-expected sales of environmental water quality analyzers to China. As a result, sales in this field were ¥5,709 million, down 7.3% from the previous fiscal year.」

「Domestic business sales increased as the company captured strong demand for semiconductor equipment. Overseas business sales declined because the impact of China's economic stagnation was substantial, despite strong sales related to semiconductors in Taiwan. As a result, sales in this field were ¥2,461 million, up 0.6% year on year.」

「Domestic sales increased as the company successfully captured strong capital investment demand, particularly in the semiconductor sector. Overseas sales declined despite strong sales related to semiconductors in Taiwan and waterworks in South Korea, as the impact of China's economic slowdown was substantial. As a result, sales in this field were ¥6,158 million, down 0.6% from the previous fiscal year.」

「Domestic sales increased as the company successfully captured strong capital investment demand, particularly in the semiconductor sector. Overseas sales declined despite a recovery in semiconductor-related demand in Taiwan, due in part to delayed shipments of environmental air measurement equipment to India. As a result, sales in this field were ¥2,447 million, down 0.5% year on year.」

「Domestic revenue increased substantially as the company captured strong demand for semiconductor-related capital investment and active replacement demand for public infrastructure such as water treatment plants. Overseas, sales in Indonesia and India, a particular focus, remained strong, but revenue in China declined as China government-led environmental water quality analyzer projects fell sharply due to the stagnation of the Chinese economy.」

「In Japan, revenue increased substantially as we captured strong semiconductor-related capital investment demand and active replacement demand for public infrastructure such as water treatment plants, in addition to working through the order backlog.」

「In the environmental and process analyzer field, orders from government agencies in Japan remained at around the usual level, while private-sector orders remained high against strong demand for semiconductor-related equipment. However, production and shipments were delayed by longer lead times for component procurement, resulting in lower sales. Overseas sales also declined substantially in China because of the country's zero-COVID policy. As a result, sales in this field were ¥3,575 million, down 19.3% year on year.」

「In Japan, orders from government agencies remained at around the usual level, while private-sector orders remained strong, including the acquisition of large semiconductor equipment-related projects. However, production and shipments were delayed by longer lead times for component procurement, resulting in lower sales. Overseas sales also declined substantially in China after local production was temporarily halted by the Shanghai lockdown. As a result, sales in this field were ¥2,222 million, down 15.4% year on year.」

「In the environmental and process analyzer field, orders remained firm both in Japan and overseas, but production and shipments were delayed by difficulties procuring components and the lockdown in Shanghai, affecting sales. As a result, sales in this field decreased 9.0% year on year.」

「In Japan, orders from government agencies remained at around the usual level. Although private-sector orders, mainly for core basic process instruments and environmental water quality analyzers, continued to be strong as demand recovered, they did not contribute to recognizing sales during the period, and domestic sales declined slightly. Overseas sales increased substantially, as the company captured strong demand in China for environmental water quality analyzers under the 14th Five-Year Plan, won waterworks projects in South Korea and benefited from strong sales in Taiwan and elsewhere, where semiconductor-related capital investment was active. As a result, sales in this field increased 3.1% from the previous fiscal year.」

「In the environmental and process analyzer field, sales in Japan declined slightly. Although orders from private companies increased as demand recovered, the increase did not contribute to recognizing sales in the current quarter. Overseas sales increased substantially, as the company captured strong demand in China for environmental water quality analyzers under the 14th Five-Year Plan and sales remained strong in Taiwan and elsewhere, where semiconductor-related capital investment was active. As a result, sales in this field increased 12.7% year on year.」

「In the environmental and process analyzer field, sales to government agencies and public-sector customers in Japan remained at around the usual level, but sales of basic process analyzers and environmental water quality analyzers to private companies declined. Overseas sales grew in China, South Korea, India and elsewhere as economic activity resumed, as well as in Taiwan, where semiconductor-related capital investment remained strong. As a result, sales in this field fell 4.4% year on year.」

「In Japan, sales to government agencies and public-sector customers remained at around the usual level, but sales of basic process analyzers and environmental water quality analyzers to private companies declined.

「In Japan, sales to government agencies and public-sector customers were maintained at around the usual level, but sales of basic process analyzers and environmental water quality analyzers to private companies declined. Overseas operations remained generally sluggish because sales activities were significantly restricted by the spread of COVID-19. As a result, sales in this field fell 17.0% year on year.」

「In environmental and process analysis instruments, domestic sales of core basic process measuring instruments, environmental air measurement instruments and environmental water quality analysers remained strong, but overseas sales declined due in part to the reversal of large projects in Asia in the same period of the previous year, resulting in a 24.0% year-on-year decline in sales in the business.」

「Domestic sales of core basic process measuring instruments and environmental air measurement instruments remained strong, but overseas sales declined amid the reversal of large projects recorded in Asia in the same period of the previous year, resulting in a 31.4% year-on-year decline in sales in the business.」

「In environmental and process analysis instruments, domestic sales of core basic process analysers and analysers for water and sewerage systems remained strong, but overseas exports declined substantially due in part to the reversal of the special demand for environmental water quality analysers in China in the first half of the previous year. Sales in the business therefore fell 36.8% year on year.」

「Exports of environmental water quality analyzers grew substantially as China's government strengthened environmental regulations, while domestic replacement demand was also captured steadily. Sales of basic process instruments and boiler-water analyzers for power generation plants also increased, resulting in a 43.4% year-on-year increase in sales.」

「Exports of environmental water quality analysers increased substantially amid tighter environmental regulations in China and stronger capital investment by semiconductor companies in Taiwan and elsewhere. In Japan, steady replacement demand was captured, while sales of analysers for water and sewerage systems and boiler water analysis instruments were strong, resulting in a 59.9% year-on-year increase in sales.」

「Exports of environmental water quality analyzers to China increased substantially as the Chinese government strengthened environmental regulations, while we also successfully captured domestic replacement demand. In addition, domestic sales of analyzers for water and wastewater treatment remained strong, resulting in a 75.6% year-on-year increase in revenue.」

「Sales increased 12.5% year on year, as domestic sales rose on increased demand for basic process instruments accompanying the recovery in capital investment by manufacturers and replacement demand for environmental water quality analysers, while overseas exports, led by environmental water quality analysers for China and South Korea, progressed steadily.」

「Sales in the company's core environmental and process analysis instruments business increased 7.8% year on year, as domestic sales rose on increased demand for basic process instruments accompanying the recovery in capital investment by manufacturers and replacement demand for environmental water quality analysers, while overseas exports, led by environmental water quality analysers for China and South Korea, progressed steadily.」

「Domestic sales increased as demand recovered for basic process instruments such as pH and ORP meters and replacement demand grew for environmental water quality analyzers. Exports also remained strong, led by environmental water quality analyzers for the Chinese and South Korean markets, resulting in a 9.8% year-on-year increase in sales.」

「Sales of environmental and process analyzers, our principal business area, were strongly driven by exports of environmental water quality analyzers for the Chinese market, but domestic sales remained sluggish amid weak demand, resulting in a 1.8% year-on-year decline.」

「Although exports increased, driven by environmental water quality analyzers for the Chinese market, domestic sales declined 12.2% year on year because large orders for waterworks analyzers and environmental air analyzers recorded in the same period of the previous year decreased.」

「Environmental and process analyzers account for a substantial proportion of sales, and changes in regulations and product supply and demand in this field may affect performance.」
