Denso revenue down 1.1% in half year results as vehicle sales in Asia slows

The group is also impacted by the suspended operations of Japanese customers.

Denso Corporation, an automotive components manufacturer, experienced a 1.1% year-on-year (YoY) revenue decrease for the six months ended 30 September due to a decline in vehicle production, driven by slowing vehicle sales in Asia and ongoing suspensions of operations amongst Japanese customers.

Denso, a major Toyota manufacturer, said that operating profit increased by 18.6% YoY mainly due to the depreciation of the yen and efforts of cost reduction despite production volume decrease.

The group still reported a profit before income taxes increased by 13.8% YoY. Profit for the period increased by 10.8% YoY whilst profit attributable to owners of the parent company 13%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
