Summary
First-quarter sales revenue and profits both declined as compared to the prior-year period due to weaker demand in major markets, reflecting global economic stagnation caused primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the Components Business, sales revenue from the Electronic Devices Group declined due mainly to lower sales at AVX Corporation, a U.S. subsidiary, alongside a general slowdown in manufacturing, particularly in the automotive industry. In the Equipment & Systems Business, sales revenue from the Document Solutions Group declined as the trend toward remote work suppressed institutional demand for office equipment and consumables. As a result, total first-quarter sales revenue decreased by JPY67,843 (USD 628) million, or 17.6%, as compared to the prior year’s first quarter, to JPY317,094 (USD2,936) million.
Profit declined as well, due mainly to lower sales revenue in most business segments. Compared to the prior first quarter, operating profit decreased by JPY15,055 (USD139) million, or 66.5%, to JPY7,574 (USD70) million; profit before income taxes decreased by JPY15,075 (USD140) million, or 33.1%, to JPY30,411 (USD282) million; and profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by JPY9,657 (USD89) million, or 30.1%, to JPY22,380 (USD207) million. read more here
