Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Sales of keyboard instruments exceeded the prior-year level in all major markets in North America, Europe, China, and Japan. Sales of digital pianos grew in North America, Europe, and China, while sales of upright pianos remained firm in Japan. A temporary decline in production during the relocation to the new plant in Indonesia and relocation expenses affected performance. In the materials processing business, lower orders related to semiconductors and automobiles, and in the other businesses, lower orders for IT equipment sold to medical institutions, led to declines in revenue and profit.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Sales of keyboard instruments exceeded the prior-year level in the major markets of North America, Europe, China, and Japan, while a temporary decline in production during the relocation to the new plant in Indonesia and relocation expenses affected performance. The company attributed the downward revision to its full-year forecasts to increased uncertainty resulting from continuing global inflationary pressures and large-scale demonstrations in Europe, a key market.
