TOKYO, May 13 (Pulse News Wire) – ROHM Company Limited (6963.T) reported a lower net profit of ¥1,584 billion for fiscal year 2025 due to significant impairment losses, particularly in its SiC business. However, the company expects operating profit to improve significantly in fiscal year 2026 thanks to reduced depreciation expenses and cost-cutting measures.
Revenue increased to ¥2.400 billion in FY25 compared to ¥2,184 billion in FY24, driven by growth in automotive and industrial segments. In FY26, ROHM forecasts revenue of ¥2.500 billion, with strong demand expected in Europe and Japan for SiC devices used in electric vehicles. The company also plans to continue reducing inventory levels, aiming for a six-month turnover rate by the end of FY26.
ROHM intends to maintain its dividend policy, with an annual payout of ¥1 per share planned for FY26, consistent with previous years. Additionally, ROHM is progressing with discussions to integrate Toshiba's semiconductor business and Mitsubishi Electric’s power device operations. The company anticipates further benefits from ongoing structural reforms aimed at improving operational efficiency and profitability across various segments.
