I'm probably wrong, but I thought they purchased all parts through longterm contract bids that locked in set pricing years ago.  

Edit: I didn't think they paid one price for a chip one month and then another price for the same chip a different month. Or for any of the parts.  

International contracts are signed in US dollars and the Japanese end consumers aren't paying them in dollars. That's the problem here.

Sorry, I edited a little more.  I believe price increases everywhere else may have leveraged those potential losses and still averaged net gains.
