Profitability was pressured by higher memory costs and an ¥8.889bn product-warranty loss; a ¥6.048bn gain on investment securities partly offset extraordinary charges.
Q2 revenue exceeded plan, led by Mobility, and operating income beat forecast partly on yen weakness; FY guidance remained unchanged.
Financial highlights
1H net sales increased ¥37.2bn YoY; favorable FX contributed ¥39.7bn.
Operating income fell ¥8.0bn YoY; FX added ¥2.6bn, offset by higher memory prices, fixed costs, R&D costs and other factors.
Ordinary profit declined 44.1% to ¥13.804bn; profit before income taxes was ¥10.482bn versus ¥24.201bn YoY.
Gross profit was ¥89.130bn versus ¥89.640bn YoY; SG&A increased to ¥75.924bn from ¥68.418bn.
