Results of operations in FY2024 (Year ended March 31, 2025)
Infrastructure With respect to Communications Solutions business, on the background of the growth of datacenter/AI-related market, we strived to increase sales by expanding product line-up, including high-value-added products such as rollable ribbon cables, and strengthening our supply system. In the telecommunication market in North America, demand for optical fibers, etc. has been gradually recovering from the slump caused by reduced customer investments and inventory adjustments, and we have continuously strengthened marketing activities and improved the production system, while striving to improve the productivity. Consequently, both net sales and profit increased.
In the midst of rapid changes in the external environment, we will expand net sales by reforming the operating structure of Optical Fiber and Cable business, and operating business while ensuring efficient and speedy decision-making under the globally unified strategy. For the datacenter/AI-related market which is expected to continue growing, we will also build a competitive advantage in the market by strengthening the supply system for optical fibers, acquiring a company with strong optical connector technologies which are indispensable for high-speed, high-volume communications and demonstrating synergy in product development capability and cost competitiveness. In addition, to prepare for a full-fledged economic recovery of demand in the telecommunication market, we will continue improving the production system and the productivity. Furthermore, by acquiring, as a subsidiary, a company which has the world’s top-level share in the high-speed optical modulators market, we will advance the development of integrated device, etc. for optical networks in the B5G(note) era.
(note) B5G (Beyond 5G): In addition to further advancement of 5G's characteristic features (high speed and high capacity, low latency, and multiple simultaneous connections), it is expected to have such features as scalability (expansion of communication areas to sky, sea, and space, ultra-low power consumption, and ultra security and reliability). It is also called 6G (the 6th generation mobile communication system).
