Consolidated Financial Summary

(¥ billion)

The targets of Fuji Electric’s Reiwa Prosperity 2023 medium-term management plan, which concludes with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, were accomplished a year ahead of schedule in the fiscalyear ended March 31, 2023. Specifically, these targets were net sales of ¥1 trillion and an operatingprofit ratio of more than 8.0%. To achieve further growth in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, theyear of the centennial anniversary of Fuji Electric’s founding, the Company will move forward withthe promotion of growth strategies centered on expanding its power electronics and powersemiconductor businesses, the further improvement of profitability through the strengthening ofglobal manufacturing capabilities, and the ongoing reinforcement of operating foundations focused onenvironmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, with a particular emphasis on human resourcesin regard to social factors. In addition, adaptiveness toward operating environment changes will beheightened with the goal of growing sales and profit.

In the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, brisk capital investment by manufacturers and data center business operators was seen amid constantly growing needs related to vehicle electrification, energy saving, and digital infrastructure. These needs were sparked by the growth in investments for achieving carbon neutrality and promoting digitalization. Meanwhile, the demand for machine tools was weak amid ongoing economic stagnancy in China.

In this environment, ongoing steps were taken to improve profitability through production capacity increases for power semiconductors carried out in response to growing demand, efforts to optimize production systems to accommodate demand, and promotion of local production and consumption.

Net Sales

Increases were seen in the sales of all segments, resulting in consolidated net sales in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, rising ¥68.9 billion, or 10%, year on year, to ¥759.7 billion.

Operating Income, Ordinary Income and Profit Attributable to Owners of Parent

Although profit was impacted by high material and energy prices as well as by rising expenses for research and development and production capacity augmentations, overall profit was buoyed by sales volume growth coupled with the benefits of increases to product selling prices, cost reduction activities, and foreign exchange influences. As a result, consolidated operating profit rose ¥15.2 billion year on year, to ¥57.7 billion; ordinary profit was up ¥15.4 billion, to ¥56.6 billion; and net profit attributable to owners of parent increased ¥8.3 billion, to ¥37.3 billion. New record highs were posted for net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit attributable to owners of parent.

Net sales: ¥229.3 billion (up 2% year on year)
Operating profit: ¥14.4 billion (down ¥0.8 billion year on year)

In the Energy segment, net sales were up year on year primarily due to higher demand in the power supply and facility systems business while operating profit was down year on year as a result of reduced demand in the ED&C components business.

  • In the power generation business, net sales and operating results were down year on year due to the absence of large-scale renewable energy projects recorded in the previous equivalent period.

  • In the energy management business, net sales and operating results were up year on year as a result of increases in large-scale orders for substation equipment for industrial applications and for power supply equipment.

  • In the power supply and facility systems business, net sales and operating results improved year on year as a result of increases in projects from data centers and semiconductor manufacturers.

  • In the ED&C components business, net sales and operating results were down year on year due to reductions in demand from finished machinery manufacturers and for semiconductor production
    equipment.

Industry

Net sales: ¥279.1 billion (up 15% year on year)
Operating profit: ¥11.5 billion (up ¥7.3 billion year on year)

In the Industry segment, net sales and operating profit were up year on year as a result of higher demand in the social solutions business and the equipment construction business.

Operating profit: ¥6.9 billion (up ¥4.0 billion year on year)

  • In the vending machine business, net sales and operating results improved year on year because of growth in demand in Japan and the benefits of cost reduction activities.

  • In the store distribution business, net sales and operating results were up year on year due to higher orders for counter fixtures combined with growth in demand for convenience store equipment renovations.

Others

Net sales: ¥46.7 billion (up 8% year on year)
Operating profit: ¥3.0 billion (up ¥0.5 billion year on year)
