KYOTO, Japan, January 31, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kyocera Corporation (TOKYO: 6971) today announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Results are summarized below, both as an aggregation of Kyocera’s first three fiscal quarters (the “period,” i.e., nine months), and as the third quarter alone (the “quarter,” i.e., three months) ended Dec. 31, 2021. Complete details are available at: https://global.kyocera.com/ir/library/f_results.html

Consolidated Financial Highlights: Nine Months Ended December 31, 2021

Summary

Despite pandemic-related disruption to supply chains that affected semiconductors in particular, the economic environment generally recovered during this period as COVID-19 vaccination expanded. Along with the improved business environment, the company achieved sales and profit increases in all segments, fueled by quick response to rising demand for 5G and semiconductor-related components as well as expanded production capacity made possible by capital investments initiated during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

As compared to the prior-year nine-month period, sales revenue increased by 23.2%, to JPY1,355,665 (USD11,788) million, marking a record. Profits increased as well, due to the effects of increased sales, productivity improvements, cost reductions in each segment, and the absence of an impairment loss totaling JPY11.5 billion (USD100 million) in the Smart Energy Business that was recorded in the prior-year period. Operating profit increased 175.6%, to JPY118,458 (USD1,030) million; profit before income taxes increased by 87%, to JPY163,103 (USD1,418) million; and profit attributable to owners of the parent increased by 87.4%, to JPY119,833 (USD1,042) million.

Average exchange rates for the period show the Japanese yen weakened by 4.7% against the U.S. dollar, to JPY111, and weakened by 7.4% against euro, to JPY131. As a result, sales revenue and profit before income taxes were pushed up by approximately JPY47 billion (USD409 million) and JPY15 billion (USD130 million), respectively, as compared to the prior-year nine-month period.

Consolidated Financial Highlights: Third Quarter

Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2022

Although demand for components is expected to remain steady, led by semiconductor-related markets, uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will also continue during the three months ending March 31, 2022. As a consequence, the Company’s consolidated full-year sales and profit forecasts remain unchanged from those announced with upward revisions in November 2021.
