QUARTERLY SALES REVIEW
Summary of regional performance profiles
As mentioned in the previous page, the performances of subsidiaries operating in
the three major marketing regions (Asia, Europe, the Americas) have diverged
only slightly over the past five years. These subsidiaries each demonstrate a
different performance profile, and these difference can be accounted for in part by
the contrasting economic conditions prevailing in each region. The Asian
subsidiary has experienced a sustained period of growth during the five-year
period covered in this report. Performances in Europe and the Americas have also
been positive. The European market, in particular, continues to show a constant,
steady growth towards higher overall sales figures. As for the Americas, this
region has also reported healthy growth.
Evaluation of current term sales volume
Early indications for the current term suggest that the trends described in this
report will continue their upward trajectory. Cumulative sales statistics for FY2000
indicated a profit of USD242 million, a figure that exceeded both the initial
estimate and the revised estimate. This was the fifth consecutive fiscal year that
the actual earnings had
exceeded both the initial
and revised earnings
estimates. The trend began
in FY1996, the first year for
which net earnings figures
were consolidated among
the three regional
subsidiaries. As is visible
from the following graph,
the most significant jump
occurred during FY97 and
FY98, when new systems
were implemented to boost
production capabilities in a
