1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Financial Results

1. Explanation of Operating Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Japanese economy witnessed a movement toward increased economic and social activities, and has been recovering moderately followed by the easing of restrictions on activities as Japan downgraded COVID- 19 to a "common infectious disease." On the other h and, economic trends remain uncertain due to downside risks to overseas economies caused by monetary tightening in various countries, hikes in raw material prices, and price increases caused by the yen's depreciation.

Under these circumstances, based on our management styles of "Add values to product business with engi neering approach," "Change from OEM business to Engineering Service," a nd "Improvement the Management base supporting rapi d changes and diversity," the Group has proceeded with various in itiatives to add value for the success of our customers using "coating, slitting, and polishing" technologies that are our strengths and basis.

As a result, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Group posted net sales of 1,867 million yen (down 33.9% year-on- year), operating loss of 336 million yen (operating income of 62 million yen in the same period of the previous year), ordinary loss of 231 million yen (ordinary income of 331 million yen in the same period of the previous year), and loss attributable to owners of parent of 175 million yen (profit attributable to owners of parent of 293 million yen in the same period of the previous year).

Results by segment are as follows:

1. • Product Business
     In the Product Business, net sales were 1,553 million yen (down 33.7% year-on-year).
     Sales in the semiconductor, hard disk, and optical fiber markets declined due to a drop in demand in the high-tech market caused by a slowdown in data center investment. As a result, we posted a segment loss of 158 million yen (segment profit of 267 million yen in the same period of the previous year).
   • Processing Service Business
     The Processing Service Business posted net sales of 313 million yen (down 34.9% year-on-year).
     Sales decreased due to a slowdown in demand in the end market affected by demand trends for PCs, tablets, and smartphones. As a result, we posted a segment loss of 177 million yen (segment loss of 205 million yen in the same period of the previous year).
