KARIYA (Japan) ―DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, today announced global financial results for its first quarter, ending June 30, 2024, for its 2025 fiscal year, ending March 31, 2025:
Consolidated revenue totaled 1,753.8 billion yen (US$10.9 billion), a 2.4 percent increase from the previous year.
Consolidated operating profit totaled 120.6 billion yen (US$0.7billion), a 27.7 percent increase from the previous year.
Consolidated profit attributable to owners of the parent company totaled 94.5billion yen (US$0.6billion), a 10.5 percent increase from the previous year.
“Revenue in the first quarter increased compared to the previous year, due in part to slowing depreciation of the yen, though suspensions of operations by Japanese customers and lower vehicle production volumes due to poor vehicle sales in Asia did affect overall performance. Operating profit in the first quarter increased compared to the previous year due to foreign exchange gains and improvement efforts though lower production volumes.” said Yasushi Matsui, CFO, Vice President and member of the Board of Directors of DENSO CORPORATION. “In this fiscal year, we forecast 7,330.0 billion yen (US$45.5 billion) in revenue and 692.0 billion yen (US$4.3 billion) in operating profit. In the first quarter, due to the idling of Japanese customers and lower vehicle production volumes in Asia, both sales revenue and operating profit decreased compared to the announced forecast at the beginning of the year. And from the second quarter onward, the impact of suspended operations by customers in Japan is expected to be reduced, but poor vehicle sales, especially in Asia, are expected to continue. On the other hand, the yen is also expected to continue to depreciate. As we navigate these uncertainties, we commit to execute our plan from the second quarter onward announced at the beginning of the year. Based on the above, our forecast of revenue and operating profit reflects only the downside of the first quarter and revise full-year financial forecast downward.”
In Japan, revenue increased to 984.6illion yen (US$6.1 billion), up 0.4% from the previous year, and operating profit was 45.1 billion yen (US$280.0 million), up 81.6% from the previous year.
