Profits are up, net sales are up. Net sales in office equipment are up 1.4%. While overall net sales were up, although barely, the US market showed the most significant increase in net sales, up 29%, with Asia up 14.6%, Japan up 2.7% and Europe down 2.9%.
Sales in the United States of America increased compared with fiscal 2012 due to the full-year contribution from Kyocera Display Corporation, which became a consolidated subsidiary in February 2012, and increased sales in the Telecommunications Equipment Group resulting from increased sales of mobile phone handsets.
