DENSO Announces Third Quarter Financial Results

KARIYA, Japan, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, today announced global financial results for the third quarter, ending December 31, 2024, of its fiscal year, ending March 31, 2025:

• Consolidated revenue totaled 5288,4 billion yen (US$33.5 billion), a 1.2 percent decrease from the previous year.
• Consolidated operating profit totaled 401.6 billion yen (US$2.5 billion), a 68.3 percent increase from the previous year.
• Consolidated profit attributable to owners of the parent company totaled 312.7 billion yen (US$2.0 billion), a 78.1 percent increase from the previous year.

"Revenue in the third quarter decreased compared to the previous year, due in part to lower vehicle production volumes in Asia and suspensions of operations by Japanese customers, though slowing yen depreciation supported our overall performance. Operating profit in the third quarter increased compared to the previous year through foreign exchange gains and cost management efforts, despite lower production volumes and increasing parts and material costs," said Yasushi Matsui, CFO, Executive Vice President and member of the Board of Directors of DENSO CORPORATION. "In this fiscal year, we forecast 7,090.0 billion yen (US$44.9 billion) in revenue and 550.0 billion yen (US$3.5 billion) in operating profit. Our revenue forecast will be based on actuals of foreign exchange gains and revised upwards. Our operating profit forecast will remain the same, as we continue to manage increasing parts and material costs, quality costs and structural reform costs, and offset these factors through foreign exchange gains and business improvement activities."

In Japan, revenue decreased to 3,121.8 billion yen (US$19.8 billion), down 0.8% from the previous year, and operating profit increased to 177.7 billion yen (US$1,125.6 million), up 694.6% from the previous year.
