Jul. 29, 2022

KARIYA (Japan) ―DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, today announced its global financial results for its first quarter, ending June 30, 2022, for its 2023 fiscal year, ending March 31, 2023:

  • Consolidated revenue totaled 1,415.0 billion yen (US$10.4 billion), a 4.3 percent increase from the previous year.

  • Consolidated profit attributable to owners of the parent company totaled 51.9 billion yen (US$0.4 billion), a 41.9 percent decrease from the previous year.

 

“Revenue in the first quarter increased compared to the previous year due to sales expansion and foreign exchange gains, though sales were negatively impacted by semiconductor shortages and lockdowns in China. Operating profit decreased compared to the previous year due to challenging business conditions such as vehicle production declines,” said Yasushi Matsui, CFO, senior executive officer and member of the Board of Directors of DENSO Corporation. “We have revised our full-year forecast based on a continuation of vehicle production losses and gains made through changing foreign exchange preconditions, adjusting our revenue projection to 6,220.0 billion yen (US$45.5 billion) and operating profit projection to 480.0 billion yen (US$3.5 billion). Moreover, to achieve shareholder return and improve capital efficiency, DENSO decided repurchase of treasury stock up to 100.0 billion yen (US$0.7 billion) or 16.0 million shares, whichever is lesser.”

In Japan, revenue increased to 825.3 billion yen (US$6.0 billion), decreasing 5.5% from the previous year, and operating profit was 31.8 billion yen (US$232.4 million), a 45.4% decrease from the previous year.
