「In the Industrial Equipment Business, while some segments of the semiconductor industry remained sluggish, signs that inventory adjustments in the robot industry were bottoming out began to emerge. We worked to develop new products and strengthen consultative sales, while continuing to expand sales of production and consumable parts. However, as restrained capital investment continued in the electronic components and semiconductor industries due to the decline in smartphone demand and uncertainty over the outlook for the global economy, revenue was ¥14,931 million, down 23.4% year on year, and segment profit was ¥760 million, down 39.5%.」

「In the Industrial Equipment Business, as inventory adjustments and restrained capital investment continued in the robot, electronic components and semiconductor industries due to the decline in smartphone demand, we worked to develop new products and strengthen consultative sales, while also expanding sales of new production and consumable parts. However, in addition to continued inventory adjustments and restrained capital investment by some customers, delivery of some equipment and machinery was postponed to the second half of the fiscal year. As a result, revenue was ¥9,250 million, down 25.2% year on year, and segment profit was ¥375 million, down 50.8%.」

「In the Industrial Equipment Business, demand for automotive semiconductors for the automobile industry remained firm. We worked to develop new products and strengthen consultative sales, while also expanding sales of production and consumable parts.
