Overview for the FY 3/2022 (From April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022)

During the consolidated fiscal year, the Japanese economy saw a gradual return of normal economic activity as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic steadily eased, and overall economic recovery continued. In the U.S. economy, although employment issues and restrictions on the supply of raw materials put downward pressure on the economy, overall, the economy showed signs of modest recovery. Elsewhere, although the European economy showed signs of recovery following the relaxation of restrictions brought on by the pandemic, aggression against Ukraine at the end of February has caused an uncertain future. In the Chinese economy, although severe COVID-induced restrictions in certain regions negatively impacted individual consumption and industrial production, overall, the economy continued on an upward trend. In Southeast Asia, the return of economic activity following the pandemic ensured economic recovery was on track.

Working against this backdrop, the MinebeaMitsumi Group concentrated on cutting costs, creating high-value-added products, developing new technologies, and enhancing its marketing approach to boost profitability further.

As a result, net sales were up 135,716 million yen (13.7%) year on year to 1,124,140 million yen, and for the first time since our founding we exceeded 1 trillion yen in net sales. Operating income was up 40,970 million yen (80.1%) year on year to 92,136 million yen, profit before income taxes was up 41,261 million yen (83.3%) year on year to 90,788 million yen, and profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent was up 30,176 million yen (77.9%) year on year to 68,935 million yen. In each of these three areas we achieved record highs.
