Stabilizing Earnings by Reviewing the Sales Structure for Measurement Instruments in the Americas

「In the Americas, sales declined due to the impact of the reactionary drop in demand for DSP equipment following a large project in the previous year, despite steady demand for weighing equipment. However, because the large project had a low profit margin, the change in project mix raised the profit margin above the previous year's level, narrowing the operating loss.」

「In Japan, sales increased in the measurement and weighing equipment business as demand for weighing equipment, which had been weak through the third quarter, recovered and demand for DSP equipment remained strong. In the Americas, sales increased as the company captured demand for weighing equipment and demand for DSP equipment remained strong.」

「In the Americas, sales increased as the company partially recovered from the impact of the reactionary decline following the previous fiscal year's special demand that had arisen from special demand in the fiscal year before that. Although the company continued to post an operating loss from the first quarter due to higher personnel expenses associated with strengthened sales activities and the effects of foreign exchange rates, the loss narrowed as sales increased.」

「In the Americas, the reactionary decline following the previous fiscal year's special demand for the core weighing equipment business remained a burden through the end of the period. In addition, continued restraint on capital investment kept the measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) business sluggish, resulting in lower sales.」

「In the Americas, the reactionary decline from the previous fiscal year's special demand for the core weighing equipment business continued. In addition, continued weakness in capital investment demand kept the measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) business sluggish, resulting in declines in both sales and profit.」

「In the Americas, revenue and profit both declined because of the reversal following special demand for core weighing instruments in the previous fiscal year, while DSP systems remained sluggish amid weak capital investment demand.」

「In the Americas, revenue and profit both declined substantially, mainly because of the decline following the special demand for core weighing instruments in the previous fiscal year.」

「In the Americas, the core weighing instruments continued to perform well and sales increased, supported by special demand for general-purpose balances. Revenue and profit also increased substantially as production progressed for DSP systems ordered in the previous fiscal year.」

「In the Americas, sales and profit both increased as the core weighing equipment business remained strong and production progressed on measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) ordered in the previous fiscal year.」

「In the Americas, orders for measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) recovered, as in Japan, but their contribution to revenue was delayed by supply delays for materials and other factors, resulting in lower revenue. Meanwhile, revenue and profit both increased as demand for the core weighing instruments recovered, sales grew through entry into new markets, and metal detectors and checkweighers also expanded.」

「In the Americas, orders for measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) recovered, as in Japan, but their contribution to sales was delayed by material supply delays and other factors, resulting in sales at approximately the same level as in the same period of the previous year. Meanwhile, in addition to growth driven by the recovery in demand for our core weighing equipment and entry into new markets, metal detectors and weight checkers also grew, resulting in higher sales and a doubling of profit.」

「In the Americas, both sales and profit increased as demand for our core weighing equipment recovered, we entered new markets, metal detectors and weight checkers grew, and measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) performed steadily.」

「In the Americas, revenue and profit both increased substantially as demand for the core weighing instruments recovered, sales promotion activities for metal detectors and checkweighers progressed, and production of measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems), for which orders had begun to recover in the second half of the previous consolidated fiscal year, advanced.」

「In the Americas, DSP system revenue declined year on year, but orders began to recover from the second half. Revenue from weighing instruments also struggled because of the impact of COVID-19, but profit increased as a result of efforts to cut expenses.」

「In the Americas, revenue struggled because of the impact of COVID-19, but profit increased as a result of efforts to cut expenses.」

「In the Americas, sales remained sluggish due to the impact of COVID-19, but returned to profitability as a result of efforts to reduce expenses.」

「In the Americas, revenue and profit both declined substantially because many projects involving measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) were postponed. However, personnel reductions and expense cuts reduced the loss from the same period of the previous year.」

「In the Americas, sales of metal detectors and checkweighers among the weighing instruments struggled, but revenue and profit both improved because the DSP system business secured high-margin projects.」

「In the Americas, revenue from weighing instruments increased slightly from the previous year as metal detectors, checkweighers and industrial measurement instruments contributed. DSP system revenue declined despite stronger partnerships with local research and development institutions, but profit improved because the company secured high-margin projects.」

「In the Americas, sales of metal detectors and checkweighers among the weighing instruments struggled, while the measurement, control and simulation system (DSP system) business also struggled because it was unable to convert large orders into revenue.」

「In the Americas, revenue and profit both declined because sales of metal detectors and checkweighers among the weighing instruments struggled, while orders for measurement, control and simulation systems (DSP systems) also remained sluggish.」

「In the Americas, revenue from weighing instruments increased slightly year on year as metal detectors, checkweighers and industrial measurement instruments contributed, but DSP system revenue declined because the company was unable to secure orders on the scale achieved in the previous fiscal year.」

「In the Americas, revenue from weighing instruments increased slightly from the previous year as metal detectors, checkweighers and industrial measurement instruments contributed. DSP system revenue remained steady due in part to stronger partnerships with local research and development institutions. However, profit declined because there were many low-margin projects and costs were incurred to expand sales going forward.」

「In the Americas, revenue from balances and scales in the weighing instruments business remained at the previous year's level, but revenue increased slightly year on year as metal detectors, checkweighers and industrial measurement instruments contributed. DSP system revenue remained steady, supported by stronger partnerships with local research and development institutions. However, profit declined because costs were incurred to expand sales going forward.」

「In the Americas, revenue from weighing instruments remained roughly in line with the previous year, while the measurement, control and simulation system (DSP system) business had strong orders but did not convert them into revenue. In addition, profit declined because personnel expenses increased in anticipation of future sales expansion.」

「In the Americas, revenue from weighing instruments remained roughly in line with the previous year, while DSP system revenue recovered substantially as a result of the review of the sales structure that had been under way for some time, leading to increases in both revenue and profit.」

「In the Americas, revenue from weighing instruments was roughly in line with the same period of the previous year in local-currency terms, but revenue in yen increased because of the weaker yen. For measurement instruments, DSP system revenue recovered as the effects of the long-running review of the sales structure began to emerge, supported by a gradual improvement in economic conditions.」

「In the Americas, sales of weighing equipment were at approximately the same level as in the same period of the previous year. However, sales of DSP systems recovered as the effects of the previously undertaken review of the sales structure began to emerge, supported by gradual economic expansion.」

「In the Americas, the company reviewed its sales structure for measurement instruments from the current consolidated fiscal year to stabilise earnings, but it had not yet gained momentum. In addition to lower revenue in local-currency terms, results for weighing instruments also declined compared with the previous consolidated fiscal year, when there was special demand for balances.」
