Here is a precise overview of the financial situation of the Rohm statistics ratios hopefully giving a clear impression of the standing of the company.

Editor’s Choice

  • In 2024, ROHM’s net revenue amounted to ¥467.78 billion or decreased by ¥40.10 billion (-7.90%) compared with FY2023, largely resulting from weaker semiconductor demand.
  • Profit experienced a strong increase, and it resulted in 12.33% in the previous year, getting up to ¥507.88 billion, while an increase in demand took place in the automotive and industrial sectors.
  • It exhibited a fluctuating trend in its revenue growth for the last five years, experiencing tremendous growth in 2022 (25.63%), followed by a contraction in 2020 (-9.05%)) and smaller in 2021 thereof (-0.83%).
  • Rohm statistics show that the shareholding of the corporation has varied, with 36.38% foreign holdings, 28.54% holdings by banks, and 13.27% held by individuals.
  • The first is The Master Trust Bank of Japan, Ltd., whose stake is 14.84%, and then comes the Rohm Music Foundation with a 10.76% stake.
  • These 23,300 people were employed by ROHM in FY2023. That is down from over 400 employees in the previous year.
  • Operating profit in FY2024 decreased significantly, falling by ¥58.3 billion. This reduction is attributable mainly to the increase in fixed costs, Forex, and the impact of increased labour and depreciation costs.
  • Rohm statistics indicate that the major expenditure foreseen for FY2024 was ¥52.7 billion, much below what was originally stated (¥150 billion) with an emphasis on capacity increase and the acquisition of land and buildings.
  • For ROHM, in FY2024, the sales of Integrated Circuits (IC) and Discrete semiconductors fell whereas the segments Modules and others showed a slight growth in sales as well as profits.
  • ROHM had total assets amounting to ¥1,528,346 million as Q2 of FY2025, higher by ¥47,072 million from the immediate, preceding fiscal year in effect because there was a real increase in investment in property and equipment.
  • The total liabilities have been elevated by ¥66,379 million, due mainly to the enhancement of long-term borrowings and bonds payable.
  • Rohm statistics reveal that most of the decline in net assets to the tune of ¥19,308 million is due to the difference in shareholders’ equity, conversion in foreign currency, and the valuation of available-for-sale securities.

Rohm Revenue

  • Rohm statistics state that ROHM’s revenue in these five consecutive years shows some subtle annual fluctuations, which have been affected by market conditions and industry demand. In the most recent fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, ROHM reported revenue of ¥467.78 billion.
  • Despite the fact that these are reduced by ¥40.10 billion from the previous year’s statistics, which turned out to be ¥507.88 billion, hence a red flag marking a negative growth rate of – 7.90%. This scrupulously the downturn is marked by weak demand in many sectors’ semiconductor market.
  • This simply implies that whereas the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, marked a period of very significant income growth for ROHM, the company realized revenue increased by ¥55.76 billion to ¥507.88 billion.
  • This figure represents 12.33% revenue growth due to a significant demand spurt in semiconductor components used in automotive and industrial applications.

  • This hike in revenue was certainly catalyzed by the post-pandemic recovery, which indicated increased investments in electronics, renewable energy, and industrial automation.
  • However, during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, for the subject of changing fortunes, ROHM fell slightly by recording either ¥3.00 billion less or a total of ¥359.89 billion in revenue.
  • The declining figure of -0.83% that year was mainly due to disruptions in the supply chain and uncertainties caused by COVID-19.
  • A much larger drop was reported in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, when a decrease of ¥36.10 billion down to ¥362.89 billion was recorded to demonstrate that some growth in revenue was expected to hold a negative rate of about -9.05%.

Rohm Assets And Liabilities

  • According to March 31, 2025, the total assets of ROHM stood at ¥1,528,346 million as of that quarter.
  • This represented an increase of ¥47,072 million over the total assets of the company during the previous fiscal year.
  • The increase was primarily due to a decrease of ¥14,480 million in investment securities and ¥7,406 million reduction in income taxes refundable, which were partly offset by an increase of ¥6,356 million in securities and a rise of ¥10,912 million in property, plant and equipment.
  • However, a steep rise was witnessed in total liabilities totalling ¥579,551 million.
  • Comparing this figure from the previous fiscal year, it was evident that there was indeed an increase of ¥66,379 million in liens.
  • Obviously, the reason for this was the ¥200,000 million decrease in short-term borrowings as well as the ¥34,220 million decrease in accounts payable (other).
  • In every situation, a raise of ¥200,000 million on long-term debt was countered as were additional bonds payable issues worth ¥100,000 million.
  • Total net assets amounted to ¥948,794 million, which was less than ¥19,308 million.
  • Among the most important causes for the decline in net assets, there was a ¥7,491 million reduction in shareholders’ equity resulting from the payment of dividends, a ¥6,304 million decrease in foreign currency translation adjustments, and a ¥5,704 million reduction in valuation differences on available-for-sale securities.

Conclusion

According to Rohm statistics, it is anticipated that ROHM will continue to see challenges for both global economic and semiconductor industries. The company forecasts a full-year sales decline to ¥450 billion due to an estimated decrease in operating and ordinary profit. In responding to these challenges, production adjustments would lead them to better align future production volume with customer demand, especially in products involving energy-saving solutions and advanced power devices.

In short, as the company had a difficult year marked by declines in terms of sales and profitability, strategic investments as well as consumer adjustments will put it in good shape to capture future growth opportunities in the semiconductor industry.
