Analysis
FY2023 Q3 (Oct-Dec 2022): Deep semiconductor downturn. Memory fabs cutting utilization rates. Wafer shipments declining. ChatGPT launched Nov 2022 but had zero immediate impact on wafer demand — AI chip orders take 6-12 months to translate into additional wafer consumption. Total revenue ~¥580B (~$4.3B). Semiconductor Materials ~40%. AI exposure unchanged — the nascent AI boom had not yet reached raw material demand. Math: ¥580B × 1.5% = ~¥8.7B (~$64M) estimated AI revenue.
