{Highlights of FY2012 1Q consolidated financial results}
1. Grew sales and profits amid a global economic slowdown by driving penetra of the MISUMI business model in global markets
*In FY2012 1Q (April 1 through June 30, 2012), sales grew for the 10th consecutive quarter and reached a record high for a 1Q period. Net sales were ¥ 32.6 billion up to 4.2% compared to the same period in the previous year. Please note that beginning FY2012 1Q, PROMICLOS Corporation (medical supplies for veterinary hospitals and medical practitioners) is no longer included in consolidated numbers as a result of the divestiture of the business. Excluding results attributable to PROMICLOS from FY2011 1Q, sales in FY2012 1Q grew 7.1% year-on-year.
*The management environment surrounding our company continued to be hash as European economies stagnated under the increasingly grave burden of the European sovereign debt crisis, economic growth in China and other Asian countries decelerated, and yen appreciation advanced. Amid this environment, we continued to grow sales both inside and outside Japan by redoubling effort to drive penetration of the MISUMI business model in global markets. Operating income was ¥ 4.6 billion (up 15.5%) and net income was ¥ 2.8 billion (up tp 15.0%), also record highs for a 1Q period. Although results were affected by strong yen, we achieved double-digit growth in operating income thanks to increased sales and improved gross margins.
2. Sales increased for ten consecutive quarters in all segments
* Sales in 1Q by business segment were as follows.
* Our Factory Automation segment, driven by demand for factory automation, broke record high quarterly sales for the third consecutive quarter.
3. International sales accounted for 29.9% (+1.1 ppt) of total sales
* International sales in the quarter were ¥ 9.7 billion (up 8.2% on a yen basis and up 12.5% in local currency). International sales accounted for 29.9% of total sales, up 1.1 percentage points.
