the medium-term business plan.
- Percentage of
target achieved
Net sales: 92% (estimated)
Operating income: 52% (estimated)
- All business segments except electronic equipment and metal products failed to
meet sales targets. All business segments failed to meet operating income targets.
- Although the musical instrument business failed to meet targets, it is becoming
more profitable.

YSD50 Review by Topic
Musical instrument business operating income target: ¥30 billion
Reasons Medium-Term Business Plan targets not achieved
- Decline in gross profits due to sales and production targets not being met
- Slow in taking steps to drop prices and differentiate products amid polarizing demand
trends
- Products made in China has penetrated into market more quickly than anticipated
and the measures to the situation is behind.
- Although efforts to expand sales of high-added-value products showed results for
wind instruments, they were insufficient overall
- Pianos: While new products were launched, targets were not met due to shrinking
demand in North America and Japan
- Electronic pianos: Market share of volume fell amid lower unit prices and expanding
market
Launched high-added-value initiatives aimed at sparking new demand such
as design pianos, but full-scale roll-out was delayed
- Guitars: Yamaha lacked presence and lost market share amid growing overall
demand
- Delay in taking steps to expand demand for keyboard products in the Japanese market
led to sluggish sales
