Kyocera said its sales revenue increased 10.1 percent to 2,025.332 billion yen for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
This was due to increased sales by the Document Solutions Unit and the Industrial Tools Unit, and also to the impact of the weaker yen, in addition to a contribution from the expansion of component production for semiconductors.
Kyocera revealed that its sales were affected by the weakening demand in the smartphone market.
Kyocera has generated revenue of 1,068.597 billion yen (+8.6 percent) from Solutions Business, 592.376 billion yen (+12.2 percent) from Core Components Business, 378.536 billion yen (+11.6 percent) from Electronic Components Business.
