Denso said full fiscal year results included healthy overall rises in sales and profits.

Revenue rose 11.7% to JPY5,515.5 billion (US$45.1 billion) while operating profit soared 120% to JPY341.2 billion ($2.8 billion).

“Both revenue and operating profit increased compared to the previous year due to recovery of vehicle sales from COVID-19 and profit improvements, though semiconductor shortages and other challenging business conditions occurred,” said top executive Yasushi Matsui.

“We forecast for the next fiscal year JPY6,350.0 billion ($51.9 billion) in revenue and JPY560 billion yen ($4.6 billion) in operating income. While it is difficult to project how the business environment might change, we will expand ADAS and electrification product sales, make gains through profit improvements and enhance our management foundation, strengthening our ability to cope with market changes.”
