Operating Structure Built Around Short Lead Times, Low Costs and Consistent Quality

「Operating profit increased year on year. Personnel expenses and depreciation rose due to investments in human resources and facilities aimed at sustainable business expansion, but selling prices improved following price revisions, while efforts to increase supply capacity by strengthening the global production structure and reduce costs through ongoing operational efficiency improvements also contributed.」

「Against this backdrop, personnel expenses and depreciation increased due to investments in human resources aimed at sustainable business expansion and the start-up of a new factory building. However, operating profit remained solid year on year, supported by the effects of price revisions, ongoing productivity improvements and rigorous cost controls.」

「Against this backdrop, the company focused on selling high-value-added products and achieving ongoing productivity improvements. However, the gross profit margin declined year on year due to persistently high external procurement prices for raw materials and other inputs, energy prices, and changes in the sales mix by product segment resulting from slower demand in certain overseas regions.」

「Amid these conditions, the Group focused on selling high-value-added products and continuously improving productivity. However, the gross margin declined year on year due to changes in the sales mix by product segment, including those resulting from slowing demand in some overseas regions, against a backdrop of persistently high raw material and energy prices.」

「The Group is strongly pursuing improved and stable quality, cost reductions, and shorter lead times.」

「To meet diverse needs in cutting-edge research and development and highly cost-competitive industries, the Group is strongly pursuing improved and stable quality, cost reductions, and shorter lead times.」

「In production and development, the Group is strongly pursuing improved and stable quality, shorter lead times, and cost reductions.」

「Amid this business environment, the Group focused on upgrading and integrating its core optical and machining technologies, strengthening sales of high-value-added products such as lens units, strengthening one-stop solution proposals, and improving customer satisfaction through appropriate delivery times, prices, and quality. As external procurement increased to accommodate a sharp rise in production, it also continued efforts to reduce production costs through greater production efficiency and a stronger global supply chain, as well as to reduce overall expenses.」
