ALINCO INCORPORATED (5933) Financial Results for FY3/22

1. Overview of Results of Operations

(1) Results of Operations

During the fiscal year ended March 20, 2022, the Japanese economy remained challenging due to many events. As the pandemic continued, the economy was affected by concerns about a global economic slowdown due to the Ukraine crisis, supply chain turmoil, rapidly rising prices of energy and resources, and other events. Furthermore, the outlook for the economy is extremely unclear.

In the construction and housing related sectors, which are the primary industry of ALINCO group, there were indications of a recovery in industry trends in the current fiscal year, such as the continuation of year-on-year growth in building construction starts based on floor area. Sales of the new ring lock ALBATROSS system (ALBATROSS), our main product, were much higher than in the previous fiscal year as the market share of this product rose steadily because of the start of shipments to fill new orders received from a major construction company. In the rental business, the utilization rate for rental scaffolding materials recovered to the pre-pandemic level during the summer of 2021 and continued to increase. In the fitness equipment business, however, sales of home fitness equipment fell sharply following record-high sales in the previous fiscal year backed by strong stay-home demand during the pandemic.

Sales in the current fiscal year were 55,255 million yen, 3.6% higher than one year earlier, because of the recovery of sales in our core business of scaffolding manufacture, sales and rental. Operating profit decreased 56.2% to 1,119 million yen due to several factors that made expenses significantly higher than anticipated. Major factors include the increase in prices of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, which are affected by the international commodity market prices, and the depreciation of yen. Although selling prices were raised to reflect higher expenses and improve profit margins, the benefit of price increases was limited because of further increases in prices of raw materials and the accelerated yen's depreciation in a short period of time.

Ordinary profit fell 60.8% to 1,126 million yen because of an equity-method loss associated with PT. KAPURINDO SENTANA BAJA (KAPURINDO), an equity-method affiliate in Indonesia because of doubts about the ability of this company to repay long-term loans received from ALINCO. By making investments in KAPURINDO, ALINCO has been involved in Indonesia with the business of renting scaffolding and other construction materials for use at private sector building and civil engineering projects and power plant construction projects. Currently, activity at many construction sites in Indonesia has been temporarily suspended and other construction projects have been delayed or postponed because of the extended impact of the pandemic. Due to this situation, there are doubts about the ability of KAPURINDO to repay long-term loans received from

ALINCO.

As a result from above, profit attributable to owners of parent decreased 72.9% to 451 million yen, although there is a record of extraordinary income because of subsidy income related to Fukuchiyama Logistic Center and partial sales of cross-shareholding.

HIGASHI ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CO., LTD. (Higashi Electronics Industry) and UEKIN Co. Ltd. (Uekin) have been added to the consolidated financial statements based on an acquisition date of July 31, 2021 and November 30, 2021, respectively, for accounting purposes. Consequently, the income statement for the current fiscal year includes results of operations of Higashi Electronics Industry for the six-month period from August 1, 2021 to January 31, 2022 and of Uekin for the three-month period from December 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022. (Higashi Electronics Industry is in the electronic equipment segment and Uekin is in the construction materials segment.)

Notes: 1. Segment profit (loss) is adjusted to be consistent with ordinary profit in the consolidated statement of income.

2. The adjustment to segment profit (loss) is primarily non-operating income and expenses, such as equity-method income and losses, foreign exchange gains and losses, and interest expenses that cannot be allocated to a reportable segment.

In accordance with "Practical Guidelines on Equity method Accounting," an equity-method loss of 878 million yen was recorded for long-term loans extended by ALINCO to equity-method affiliate PT. KAPURINDO SENTANA BAJA.

Construction materials

Sales increased 14.3% from one year earlier to 19,880 million yen. Sales of scaffolding and other temporary materials used at construction sites rose sharply by 57.7% year on year because of sales to new customers such as start of ALBATROSS shipments to a major construction company that decided to adopt this scaffolding system and additional ALBATROSS sales to current customers. In addition, sales of racks for distribution warehouses also remained strong.
