In the second quarter, sales were down 5.6% from previous period to 56,387 million yen and ordinary profit decreased 18.3% to 1,390 million yen.


The company's auto parts business slowed in North America and China, resulting in sales decline of 5.9% to 54,486 million yen.

On the other hand, some improvements were found in this period. For example, sales in the wire harness-related business increased 3.4% year on year to 1,377 million yen due to an increase in aircraft-related orders, and sales in the welfare equipment-related business also increased thanks to growing sales of electric wheelchairs leading to sales increase of 3.0% to 523 million yen.

As a result, in the full-year business forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, net sales will be 112,000 million yen, a decrease of 5.5% from the previous year, and net income is expected to be 2,100 million yen, a decrease of 15.1% from the previous year.
