Business Details
Operates the White Goods business (refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, cooking appliances, etc.) and the Energy Solutions business (solar cells, storage batteries, etc.). ASEAN is the core market, with cooking appliances also deployed in Europe and the US. Centers on high value-added products such as Plasmacluster Ion Generators and beauty/hair care appliances, and also includes device products such as Sensor Modules and CMOS Image Sensors. Sharp Semiconductor Innovation Corporation was incorporated into this segment from the current fiscal year. Main sites include Asian manufacturing bases such as Sharp Appliances (Thailand) Ltd. and Sharp Manufacturing Vietnam CO., LTD.
Recent Overview
Cumulative 3Q net sales decreased 8.2% year on year to ¥447,910 million, while segment profit increased 43.8% year on year to ¥21,702 million
Net sales to external customers for the nine months ended December 2025 (April 2025-December 2025) of FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥447,910 million (down from ¥487,659 million in the same period of the prior year). Meanwhile, segment profit improved significantly to ¥21,702 million from ¥15,094 million in the same period of the prior year. For the full year (FY2025, ended March 2025), net sales were ¥461,351 million (102.0% of the prior year) and segment profit was ¥20,343 million (73.2% of the prior year). The White Goods business achieved higher sales driven by growth in refrigerator and washing machine sales in ASEAN and strong cooking appliance sales in Europe and the US, but profit was squeezed by the impact of yen depreciation and wind-down costs for the European Energy Solutions business. As a result of organizational restructuring in April 2025, the segment was integrated into the Smart Life Business Group.
