Highlights
Operational Review
Flat knitting machines 】
・Asia
In China, the impact of the lockdown in urban areas according to the zero COVID policy weakened the appetite for capital spending. This resulted in slowing the introduction of the WHOLEGARMENT® flat knitting machines.
In regions, such as Bangladesh, where OEM is at the center of production, there were many inquiries about computerized flat knitting machines partially due to the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, and capital spending remained steady.
European and Middle Eastern markets
In the Italian market, there was a growth in capital spending mainly in high-valued added computerized flat knitting machines as economic activities became active. Also, in Turkey and the East European areas, there were continuing many inquiries due to a strong appetite for capital spending.
Design systems 】
For the apparel design system SDS-ONE APEX4, its sales units increased because of increased sales of computerized flat knitting machines. In addition, the subscription service APEXFiz steadily increased agreements mainly in license agreements with large apparel manufacturers.
For the auto fabric cutting machine P-CAM, the demand recovered mainly in overseas markets.
【Globe knitting machines】
・After the start of this fiscal year, net sales of the machines decreased because of a round of capital spending by large manufacturers.
Income
・The gross profit margin recovered because of an improvement in capacity utilization of plants, and selling, general, and administrative expenses were controlled; consequently, operating income was -435 million yen, down from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
(The gross profit margin increased by 3.7 percentage points YoY to 38.1%)
