Performance overview for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025
During the current consolidated fiscal year, the US economy remained firm, supported by strong growth in personal consumption and capital investment. In contrast, economic growth in Europe remained sluggish. In China, despite government stimulus measures, the economy continued to face difficulties due to weak personal consumption and a downturn in the real estate market. In Japan, although the increase in inbound tourism provided some positive momentum, a sense of stagnation persisted amid sluggish personal consumption caused by higher prices of food and other essentials, frequent natural disasters, and a decline in automobile production. Under these circumstances, the performance of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries businesses was favorable overall, due mainly to a significant increase in sales, driven by strong demand for semiconductor and electronic component-related products and recovery in sales volumes of adhesive products for seals and labels in the United States. In terms of profitability, although the price of fuel and raw materials and cost of logistics continued to rise, higher sales volumes of various products including semiconductor and electronic component-related products contributed to increased profits.
