Following the structural reorganization that took place in April, we will change our business segment classifications starting this fiscal year.
Our new business segment categories include, machined components, electronic devices and components, other, as well as adjustment. Major businesses included in each segment are shown in the diagram.
Business segment forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 based on the new classifications are shown in the table.
We expect higher sales in the machined components business segment due to increased ball bearing sales for existing as well as new applications, the expanding aircraft parts business, and expected gains on the weak yen. We also anticipate slightly lower profits due to lower ball bearing and pivot assembly sales for HDDs compared to the first half of the last fiscal year when demand soared in the wake of the Thai floods. We expect the HDD market to remain stable with sales hovering around the same level they were during the second half of the last fiscal year.
In the new Electronic Devices and Components business segment, the HDD spindle motor business is expected to bounce back with higher sales volumes due to its bigger market share. The information motor business is expected to pare down its losses significantly via restructuring, while the electronic device division will see significantly higher sales and profits from LED backlights and measuring components.
