ROHM announced its financial results and raised its consolidated ordinary profit forecast for the current fiscal year to ¥53.0 billion, up 87.3% year on year and compared with the previous forecast of ¥36.0 billion. As a result, the growth rate is expected to expand to approximately 2.8 times.
In the most recent three-month period, consolidated ordinary profit for July–September fell 48.4% year on year to ¥5.64 billion, while sales and the operating profit margin showed somewhat different trends from the previous fiscal year.
