Despite a slight revenue contraction of 0.1% year-on-year, totalling 612.8 billion yen (€4.11 billion / $4.47 billion), the firm’s portfolio demonstrated remarkable steadiness in a volatile market environment. The business segment profit saw an impressive 18.6% jump to 61.6 billion yen (€412.72 million / $449.68 million) as Brother optimised operational efficiencies and leveraged market opportunities, especially in the printer sector, which remains a cornerstone of the business.
The company’s operating profit also reflected positive momentum, with a 3.5% increase to 61.1 billion yen (€409.37 million / $446.03 million). This growth is attributed to Brother’s strategic cost management and commitment to innovation, which continues to drive its market position forward.

In the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2023, Brother Industries Ltd. navigated through economic challenges to post financial results with mixed outcomes.
