Key Points of Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2024

Increase in sales / Decrease in income and profit

(Compared to 1Q of FY2024)

Sales

Result

  • Sales of data for in-car navigation systems in the automotive-related business increased thanks to the recovery in automobile production in conjunction with the alleviation of the semiconductor shortage.
  • Orders received from the national and local governments increased and there were more opportunities to provide residential map data, while orders received in the marketing solutions-related business also increased.

Expenses

Profit and loss

  • Increase in cost of sales due to the increase in revenue, as well as an increase in expenses for developing map databases to improve the precision of location data, the effects of the rising cost of living and wage hikes from the first quarter of fiscal 2024 resulted in an increase in operating expenses compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. As a result, profits decreased for 2 consecutive periods.
  • These increases in operating expenses have already been incorporated in the forecast for the consolidated results of operations for fiscal 2024.
  • It should be noted that while fixed costs such as the expenses for developing map databases are incurred throughout the year, expenses generally precede net sales due to drastic seasonal fluctuations in which net sales tend to be concentrated in the fourth quarter.
