New Year's greetings
We would like to wish you a very Happy New Year.
We would like to thank you for your patronage and support during the past year.
Thanks to your support and cooperation, we have been able to realize many achievements and growth as a company. Last year, we were visited by members of the Shiga Prefecture Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan, the House of Representatives Committee on Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Kyushu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. Moreover, in Hokkaido, we discussed regional contributions in semiconductor design in the Hokkaido region with the Hokkaido Government, the Hokkaido Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry, the City of Sapporo, and professors at various universities. As an achievement, we conducted a class using our original “Edge AI: SAMACT” for National Institute of Technology, Asahikawa College students to upgrade the content of the “integrated circuit design” class.
Once again, we would like to thank all of you for your support and cooperation.
Review of fiscal year 2024
While we experienced firsthand the dynamism and excitement in Kumamoto Prefecture following TSMC (JASM)'s factory bid, the LSI design contract business environment surrounding us was extremely severe, resulting in lower sales and profits compared to the previous fiscal year for the first time since the company's founding. Even in such a situation, we were able to achieve results exceeding 10% in both operating income and ordinary income. We consider this a significant achievement.
In the LSI design contracting business, we were able to participate in the development of our first cutting-edge 3nm LSI process products, and we are confident that we have maintained our position as a domestic leading semiconductor design contracting company.
In addition, turnkey development, which began in cooperation with Toppan Technical Design Center Co., Ltd. successfully completed tape-out, the final stage of the semiconductor design process, and LSI samples were delivered to customers. Our original edge AI: SAMACT was exhibited at the Hirata Corporation booth at SEMICON Japan 2024 held at Tokyo Big Sight in December 2024 as “Robot Mechanism Anomaly Detection AI” incorporated into a product. Mass production is expected to begin in the summer of 2025 or later, and new business is steadily underway.
Major Events in fiscal year 2024
Aspirations for fiscal year 2025
In order to provide a bright and pleasant future for our employees, their families, and society, we will continue to operate our company with integrity and high ethical standards so that we can be the only-one partner for each of our customers.
We look forward to your continued guidance and encouragement.
The slogan of our mid-term plan for FY2025 is “Realizing a carbon-neutral world with semiconductors,” and we have started “Beyond2nm” in the LSI design contract business and “Realizing the future of edge AI” in R&D.
In the commissioned design business, we will strengthen the MID and BED design processes at the head office and promote collaboration with business partners on the latest EDA tools and IP to enhance our semiconductor cutting-edge process development capabilities. At the same time, we will promote the public release of the world's cheapest and most reliable ARM platform, Renesas Electronics IP and SAMACT, which we have developed to date.
R&D will take on various challenges to develop new solutions that will lead to solving issues faced by local communities, such as solving the shortage of labor, labor-saving measures, and environmentally friendly products, and to start the realization of MCUs acting SAMACT.
In addition, we will boldly challenge the realization of inter-company discussions to resolve various issues with the aim of starting the design of Rapidus' cutting-edge 2nm process as early as possible, as well as the acquisition of a Design Center Alliance (DCA) partner from TSMC.
Maviss Design Corporation will continue to strive for a better future and comfortable life for many people through our semiconductor products.
