  1. FY2021Annual profit despite continued earnings decline due to new-base costsAnnual report

    「Revenue in Southeast Asia was ¥2,553 million, down ¥1,423 million (35.8%) from the previous fiscal year, as recovery from the impact of COVID-19 was slower than in the other segments, although it recovered in the fourth quarter. Segment profit was ¥50 million, down ¥498 million (90.8%) from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to the impact of lower revenue and increased start-up costs at the new Vietnam base. However, temporary plant closures and overhead-cost controls implemented to address lower revenue enabled the segment to turn its operating loss through the third quarter into annual profit.」
