Financial Results Overview

Net sales of the fourth quarter of 2004 were up 15% from the same term last year to ¥9,361 million. Although sales in businesses of magnetics and optical electronics reduced, the expanding sales in coils for information technology and communication equipment plus the sharply growing sales in automotive electronics parts, coils for audiovisual equipment and others have come to push up the overall sales.
Operating profit increased to ¥832 million, slightly up by 2.3% over the year-before figure. The sustainable profit was accredited to the increase in coil sales coupled with the effective cost control on labor wages and manufacturing cost. Operating loss for electromagnetics business improved following the downsizing directive despite the sharp decline of the optical business. Likewise, the drop in exchange loss resulted in an increase in ordinary income to ¥652 million, up 16.8% compared with the corresponding period of last year although the investment loss brought by the equity method remained unfavorable to the result.
Net Income before tax amounted to ¥220 million, 2.3 times over the figure of the same term last year. The extraordinary loss was eased this year despite all associated costs for removing Malaysia production and closing down of Mexico magnetics factory in comparison with the big losses in 2003 relating to the sales of the subsidiary and unrealized investment loss in securities.

FY2004 1st Quarter Financial Results

Date
April 22,2004
Venue
Tokyo Stock Exchange

Financial Results Overview

Net sales of the 1st quarter of 2004 were up 13.7% from the same term last year to ¥8,188 million. Sales of the unprofitable businesses like magnetics and optical electronics declined as planned whereas sales in automotive electronics parts, coils for audio visual equipment and for information technology and communication equipment considerably increased by 18.8%.
Operating income increased to ¥764 million, up 154.2% over the year-before figure, on account of sustainable growth of sales and substantial improvement on gross profit due to slash on raw material costs and manufacturing expenses for general coils, decreased operating loss in the declining magnetics business by reduction of manufacturing and development expenses, and constant operating income in our optical electronic business resulting from improved manufacturing efficiency despite the drop in sales. Meanwhile, ordinary income reached ¥625 million, up 104.3% over the year-before figure, though the unrealized exchange loss arising from valuation of foreign currency deposits and trade account receivables at overseas subsidiaries caused by the strong Japanese yen in addition to the loss through the equity method remained unfavorable to the result. The dramatic loss imputed to the disposal of components division in last term caused to reflect a remarkable growth on earnings. Net income of the current term maintained at ¥475 million.
