The purchase price of these raw materials and other materials fluctuates depending on the supply-demand situation and the rising cost of certain raw materials and fuel as well as when purchases are made in foreign currencies from suppliers overseas. Kyocera’s businesses are many and varied, and we are working to enhance our price negotiating power when procuring raw materials and other materials through the ties we have inside the Kyocera Group. We are also striving to absorb the rising cost of raw materials and other materials in each business by making internal improvements that include cost reductions. In addition, we have executed long-term agreements with suppliers for certain raw materials in consideration of the future supply-demand balance.
