TOKYO, JAPAN — DENSO Corporation announced its global financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2005.

Some of the highlights include a consolidated net sales totaling $6.8 billion, a 10.7 percent increase from the first quarter of last term; operating income totaling $641.4 million, an 18.7 percent increase from the first quarter of last term; and a 3.3 percent increase in income before income taxes and minority interests from the first quarter of last term.

The company posted a consolidated net income totaled $324.3 million, a 2.5 percent decrease from the first quarter of last term. The decrease is mainly due to the extraordinary loss resulting from the charge for full amount of transitional obligation for employees’ retirement benefits at DENSO subsidiaries in the United Kingdom

“We are pleased with the financial results for this first quarter,” said Koji Kobayashi, managing officer of DENSO Corporation. “The increase in domestic and overseas car production for Japanese auto manufacturers contributed to the increase in sales, and the increase in production volume in Japan and Asia and Oceania contributed to the increase in operating income.”

In Japan, sales totaled $4.8 billion, a 9.0 percent increase from the first quarter of last term, and operating income totaled $482.9 million, a 10.4 percent increase from the first quarter of last term. Growing domestic car production and continuing growth in the popularity of car navigation systems contributed to the increase in sales. The increase in operating income was led by the increase in production volume.

In North, Central and South America, combined sales totaled $1.5 billion, an 8.0 percent increase from the first quarter of last term. The growth in car production for Japanese auto manufacturers in North America contributed to this increase. In spite of the rise in production volume, operating income decreased to $73.0 million, a decline of 9.9 percent, due to production transfer to DENSO’s new plant in Arkansas and new additions to the product line-up.

In Europe, sales totaled $943.2 million, an 8.0 percent increase from the previous period, due to sales growth in car navigation systems, car air conditioners, and diesel common rail systems. An increase in production volume in the Czech Republic led to the increase in operating income in this region.

In Asia and Oceania, sales totaled $815.3 million, a 47.5 percent increase from the first quarter of last term, and operating income totaled $78.4 million, a 111.9 percent increase from the first quarter of last term. Production of the Toyota Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle, or “IMV”, especially in ASEAN countries, resulted in an increase in both sales and operating income.

“As a result of our good financial results in this first quarter, we have revised and raised our first-half fiscal year estimates announced on April 27,” said Kobayashi.
