Kyocera Announces Consolidated Financial Results for Year Ended March 31, 2024Kyocera Corporation (TOKYO:6971) today announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 ("fiscal year 2024" or the "period"), as summarized below. Complete details are available at: https://global.kyocera.com/ir/library/f_results.html Consolidated Results: Year-Over-Year
Summary
As compared to the prior fiscal year, consolidated sales revenue decreased by 1.0%, to JPY2,004,221 (USD13,273) million, due mainly to lower demand for major products in the Core Components and Electronic Components businesses, which more than offset increased sales revenue in the company's Solutions business. Consolidated profits declined also, due mainly to lower production capacity utilization rates caused by reduced orders, as well as an increase in labor expenses and other costs. Nonetheless, the company continued proactive capital investment to allow production expansion as recovery occurs in the future. As a result, operating profit decreased by 27.7%, to JPY92,923 (USD615) million; profit before income taxes decreased by 22.7%, to JPY136,143 (USD902) million; and profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 21.0%, to JPY101,074 (USD669) million. Consolidated Financial Highlights: Fourth Quarter
Consolidated Forecasts: Year Ending March 31, 2025
Kyocera aims to expand its business in the Core Components and Electronic Components segments by preparing thoroughly for a recovery in demand for semiconductor- and information & communication-related components, following our proactive and strategic capital investment initiative. In the Solutions segment, the company seeks to develop new products, services, and businesses. At the same time, Kyocera will strive to improve profitability through continued implementation of structural reforms aimed at revitalizing lower-profit, lower-growth businesses.
