Fiscal 2014 in Review Strong earnings in North America;
growth in China / Asia despite economic slowdown
Revenues in Japan were down year on year, mainly
due to higher consumption taxes and slow demand
among certain customers.
Overseas, favorable exchange rates contributed
to sharply higher earnings compared to the prior
fiscal year. A strong U.S. economy drove revenues
in North America, while a more gradual recovery in
Europe still supported revenue growth in that region.
We found revenue gains in China and the nations of
Asia, pushed by slightly weaker —but still positive—
economic growth.
Revenue growth and the weakness of the yen were
two major factors contributing to significant operating
income gains overseas.
Fiscal 2015 Forecast and Strategies Focus on North America and emerging economies;
new business projects for greater growth
We have set a target of ¥140 billion for fiscal 2015
net sales (1.5% year-on-year growth), with operating income scheduled to reach ¥9.3 billion (0.8%
growth). We expect domestic revenues to decline,
mainly due to bearish automobile demand. Looking
overseas, we forecast overall growth, supported by
strong North American markets. At the same time,
it is difficult to predict the direction of the economies of China and other Asian nations with any
certainty.
To drive growth under the EARTH-2 STAGE
(FY2017-2020) plan, we will focus on developing
products that solve new needs arising in our car
society. We will also look beyond products that answer the stated needs of our clients, actively seeking
answers to future car society issues.
We intend to answer the challenges presented by
s long-term vision (VG2020),
the goals set in Omron’
winning new projects and building a foundation for
a new stage of growth.

Corporate Value Initiatives
Stricter CO2 laws and rising consumer awareness of their own carbon footprint have driven improvements
in automobile fuel efficiency. One example is the popular idle-off function that has become a more visible
feature over the past few years. This function reduces the use of fuel when a driver stops their car, leading to
expected fuel efficiency gains of 5% to 10%, depending on individual driving patterns. However, electric
vehicles and hybrids can experience a dramatic drop in voltage once the car is restarted. This can interfere
with car audio and other electrical systems. To solve this problem, we invented a compact, high-function DC/
DC converter that provides stable voltage when starting after idle-off. Our business also produces a number
of other products that contribute to fuel efficiency and smaller carbon footprints, including electronic power
steering controllers, fuel pump modules,
high-output DC/DC converters for hybrid
vehicles, and more.
