1. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

(1) Fiscal 2023 Operating Results

(1) Overview

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the global economy benefited from ongoing recovery resulting from progress in the normalization of economic activities premised on embracing the new normal of living with the risk of COVID-19 infection. On the other hand, the outlook remained unclear due mainly to consistently high energy costs in the face of continuing geopolitical risks, the shortage of semiconductor and other parts supply on the back of recovery in demand, and foreign exchange fluctuations resulting from monetary tightening undertaken by major countries.

(2) Consolidated Performance

Given the above environment, the domestic printing machinery market has seen an ongoing trend toward executing investment aimed at improving productivity, enhancing efficiency and otherwise streamlining printing operations in light of surging costs for energy and printing supplies as well as labor shortages. Amid this trend, Komori secured a robust volume of orders for such products as sheet-fed offset presses and thereby achieved growth in net sales, thanks to the positive effect of its marketing activities focused on delivering proposals designed to enhance ROI via the use of "advance" models. In the printed electronics (PE) business, showings of semiconductor manufacturing equipment were similarly strong, contributing to higher net sales for this business. In North America, demand remained on a recovery track since 2022 despite the impact of interest rate hikes and inflation. With consistently strong demand offsetting these negative factors, net sales in this region remained virtually unchanged from the previous fiscal year. In Europe, although demand has been negatively affected by ongoing geopolitical risks and surging energy prices, net sales in this region were supported by post-pandemic economic recovery and thus grew larger, especially in western European countries. In Greater China, on the other hand, net sales declined from the previous fiscal year due to the significant impact of economic downturn resulting from repeated resurgences of the pandemic since the beginning of the fiscal year and the subsequent enforcement of "zero- COVID" policy. However, demand in this region has returned to a recovery track despite temporary turmoil following the lifting of the "zero-COVID" policy in December 2022. While Other Regions, which include ASEAN and India, remained stagnant in terms of recovery in demand in the previous fiscal year, Komori has seen a turnaround of this trend in these regions in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Thus, drastic recovery in demand enabled the Company to achieve higher sales in India and elsewhere.
