of a strengthening
euro, rising crude oil prices and other negative
factors.8%, from Yen 166,818 million to Yen 174

amid lackluster demand, TDK was able to absorb sales price declines
and the effect of forex movements by improving the sales mix.
(High-frequency components)
Sales of high-frequency components
declined marginally year on year because higher sales volume and
an improved product mix failed to completely offset persistently
strong discounting pressure from
mobile phone handset manufacturers,
the main customer for these components.
However, demand for
HDD heads rose in the second half of the fiscal
year following the end of these cutbacks, leading
to higher
year-on-year sales.
