“Revenue in the first quarter remained consistent with the previous year, driven by a strong increase in vehicle sales in Japan, despite a decline in revenue due to the impact of the strong yen.” said Yasushi Matsui, CFO, Executive Vice President and member of the Board of Directors of DENSO CORPORATION. “In this fiscal year, we forecast 7,200.0 billion yen (US$48.2 billion) in revenue and 675.0 billion yen (US$4.5 billion) in operating profit. Forecast of revenue will be based on reflecting the results of the first quarter, and the expected increase in revenue due to the reflection of tariff costs from the second quarter onwards. Operating profit forecast remains unchanged supported by efforts to minimize the impact of tariff costs and to steadily reflect incurred costs in pricing. Furthermore, as part of measures to enhance corporate value, it was resolved to sell DENSO’s own shares in Toyota Industries Corporation (“Toyota Industries”) and to provide advance notice of a tender offer for its own shares held by Toyota Industries.”
