4Q Follow-Up - Torex Semiconductor (6616 JP)
SUMMARY
- While current underlying demand has yet to show signs of a strong recovery, progress has been made in inventory adjustments in the distribution supply chain, and TOREX expects a recovery in sales from the 2H of 2024, and the top priority for this term is strengthening sales expansion initiatives.
- Regarding the initial FY25/3 consolidated OP forecast, in addition to a contribution of ¥1,150mn from the +8.7% YoY increase in net sales, the decrease of ¥2,370mn in inventory write-downs in manufacturing cost of sales will drive a strong recovery in OP.
- Although capex is set to decline -31.9% YoY to ¥3,600mn (mainly for equipment being installed in the new Phenitec Kagoshima Fab clean room), having peaked out last term, depreciation will increase +27.7% YoY to ¥3,000mn as the new clean room has started operations.
