Review of Operations

1. Review of Operations

In this second quarter, the world economy tended in general toward recovery due to ongoing strong market expansion in emerging countries, including China.  But on the other hand, there were rapid progress of strong yen due to credit impairment such as the concern of US economic slowdown, downgrade of US government bonds, the reactivation of a concern about expanding debt problem in Euro zone nations triggered by Greece and slowdown economic growth at emerging countries, including China.

There were indications that the Japanese economy was steadily recovering from the devastating Tohoku Earthquake on March 11th, although radioactive pollution, electricity restriction and distrust of politicians exert a negative impact on the recovery of the economy.

However the future of economy is still unclear due to a severity of employment situation, decrease of export involved by strong yen or slowdown of economic growth in overseas mainly the Americas and Europe, sluggish personal consumption by the end of consumption incentive and overseas transfer of domestic company.

The Maruwa Group is seeing an increase in demand for its electronic components, in both domestic and global markets. This is due to 1) strong consumer demand for digital electric items, mainly in China and other Asian countries, 2) continuous growth of high power modules for environmentally-friendly HEV/HV, windmills and LED lighting, and 3) a recovery in the demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.   

In these circumstances, because of an increased demand for ceramic substrate products for the electric items market and for quartz glass products for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, consolidated turnover for this quarter was 10,975 million yen. (This is up 14.6% compared to same period last year)

We have been improving production profitability in order to be able to take appropriate countermeasures against rapid changes in the market climate.  This was achieved through improvement of production yield, lead time and cost reduction.  As a result, our consolidated operating income was 1,802 million yen. (This is up 22.1% compared to same period last year) Net income was 1,263 million yen. (This is up 38.3% compared to same period last year)

2.Operating Results by Business Division

The Ceramic Components Division

The second quarter turnover was 10,294 million yen. This is a 13.3% increase over the same period last year.

The demand for ceramic substrate products, EMC component products and thin film circuit products has grown in the market of digital electric items, especially smart phones in China and other Asian countries and high power modules for environmentally friendly HEV/HV, windmills.  Demand for quartz glass products for semiconductor manufacturing equipment has also increased.

Operation income was 2,147 million yen. This is up 18.8% compared to same period last year, and is due to improvement of production profitability and the addition of new high-value products.

Turnover for LED lighting devices has increased consistently in the public utilities markets, and MARUWA is continuing to press forward with the development of new LED lighting products.  The turnover during this second quarter was 682 million yen.
