In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Kyocera reported a slight increase in sales revenue to 2,014,454 million yen, marking a 0.5% growth compared to the previous year.

These results were impacted by increased costs and a substantial impairment loss in the Core Components Business.

Key financial metrics highlighted the company’s struggles, including a decrease in earnings per share from 71.58 yen to 17.11 yen. The Core Components and Electronic Components businesses both reported losses, while the Solutions Business showed a modest increase in business profit. The company also noted a decrease in cash flows from operating activities, reflecting the challenging economic environment.

Looking ahead, Kyocera’s management remains cautiously optimistic, forecasting a recovery in profitability for the next fiscal year. The company plans to implement structural reforms and cost reduction strategies to enhance its financial performance. Despite the current challenges, Kyocera aims to strengthen its position in the market by focusing on core businesses and optimizing its investment strategies.
