Addressing the automotive electronics, IoT and wearable markets

「The US economy remained on an expansionary trend, with personal consumption staying firm and capital investment in data centers increasing on the back of AI demand. … In addition to the impact of the yen's depreciation, strong demand in major markets led to higher revenue in all segments—communications, automotive, consumer and industrial—and net sales therefore amounted to ¥21,719 million, up 10.9% year on year.」

「In terms of the market environment, the integration of communications functions into all types of equipment and the expanding adoption of generative AI are expected to drive demand for crystal devices. At the exhibition, the Company displayed competitive products centred on the Arkh series for applications including AI data centres and optical transceivers, attracting considerable attention from many quarters.」

「特に、AIの発展による高速演算処理を必要とするAIデータセンターの増加、光トランシーバやエッジAIの普及は、通信データ量の増大と安定化への要求を高め、高周波デバイスである差動出力発振器の需要を一層押し上げます。また、スマートグラスなどのウェアラブル機器市場の拡大は、これまで以上に薄型・軽量な水晶デバイスへのニーズを生み出しています。」

「Against this backdrop, the Group's related markets were affected by intensifying price competition for certain communications products, continuing inventory adjustments in the industrial business due to weak capital investment, and a sharp appreciation of the Taiwan dollar against the US dollar. However, sales were ¥19,591 million, up 0.8% year on year, due in part to the solid performance of the automotive business.」

「Amid these conditions, revenue was ¥19,438 million, up 0.5% year on year, as the consumer sector, mainly PC-related products, entered a recovery trend and the automotive sector remained firm.」

「Meanwhile, sales for communications increased as products for Chinese smartphones showed signs of recovery, while automotive sales also increased as vehicle production recovered following the easing of the semiconductor shortage, resulting in sales of ¥29,685 million, up 0.3% year on year.」

「At the Group, sales for automotive applications, including EVs (electric vehicles), increased. In communications, although signs of recovery were seen in products for Chinese smartphones and communications modules, the business remained weak. In consumer applications, adjustment continued, particularly in PC-related products, from the second half of the previous fiscal year following the peaking of telework and stay-at-home demand」

「Amid these conditions, automotive sales, including sales for EVs (electric vehicles), increased. In the communications sector, some products for Chinese smartphones and communications modules showed signs of recovery, but the sector remained sluggish overall. In the consumer sector, adjustment continued from the second half of the previous fiscal year as teleworking and stay-at-home demand peaked, resulting in revenue of ¥9,318 million, down 9.4% year on year.」

「The momentum behind the integration of communications functions into all kinds of products through IoT shows no sign of stopping, and further expansion is expected. Even in existing communications environments, faster, higher-capacity and lower-latency communications than ever are required, not only because of the growth in video transmission but also because of the shift of business operations to the cloud and the spread of EVs and autonomous driving. Full-scale expansion of satellite communications is also expected.」

「Amid these conditions, automotive sales increased on the progress of ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems), among other factors. However, communications products for Chinese smartphones and communications modules remained sluggish, while consumer sales were affected by the peaking of teleworking and stay-at-home demand, resulting in revenue of ¥29,605 million, down 6.5% year on year.」

「Amid these conditions, sales to the consumer and industrial sectors, led by the automotive sector, increased, partly due to the weaker yen. However, communications sales declined as Chinese smartphones remained sluggish, resulting in revenue of ¥20,292 million, down 5.3% year on year.」

「Amid these conditions, sales to the consumer and industrial sectors, led by the automotive sector, increased, partly due to the impact of exchange-rate movements. However, communications sales declined as Chinese smartphones remained sluggish, resulting in revenue of ¥10,283 million, down 2.1% year on year.」

「As a result, during the consolidated fiscal year, sales increased across all areas—communications, automotive, consumer and industrial applications—including the recovery of the automotive market and the expansion of 5G-compatible smartphones.」
