1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

For the first three months of the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023 (hereinafter "the period under review"), despite the progress being made in balancing infection controls against COVID-19 and economic activities, the outlook for the Japanese economy remains uncertain. This is due to the concerns over the impacts of the persistent lockdown in Shanghai and other major cities in China as well as the recent situations in Ukraine. In addition, Japanese economy also suffered from the soaring natural resource prices and restrictions on supplies along with the rapid fall of yen.

In the electronic device market, which is the Uyemura Group's main market area, demands for semiconductors and electronic components remained solid, despite the supply shortage of semiconductors in some areas. This was backed by the progresses being made in electrification, autonomous driving, and digital transformation (DX) of automobiles.

In this environment, the Group has focused on the development of high value-added products, and proposal and sales activities for these products to make the operations more profitable.

As a result, consolidated net sales for the period under review were 20,187 million yen (up 28.1% year-over-year), operating profit 3,866 million yen (up 37.8%), ordinary profit 4,294 million yen (up 42.1%), and profit attributable to owners of parent 3,663 million yen (up 72.9%).

The results of operations by business segment are shown as below.

1) Surface finishing materials business

Both segment sales and profit of mainstay plating chemicals for package PWBs saw year-over-year increases thanks to an increase in demand in the high-speed communication market and semiconductor market.

Consequently, net sales in the surface finishing materials business increased 31.9% year-over-year to 16,859 million yen and segment profit increased 46.8% year-over-year to 3,575 million yen.

2) Surface finishing machinery business

Segment sales of the surface finishing machinery business increased year-over-year thanks to the strong demands for the surface finishing machineries for semiconductors and electronic components especially in Taiwan market. However, segment profit decreased year-over-year due to the soaring prices of various components used to manufacture the surface finishing machineries such as resin plates, electronic components, and filters.

Consequently, net sales in the surface finishing machinery business increased 17.2% year-over-year to 1,828 million yen but segment profit decreased 36.0% year-over-year to 137 million yen.

3) Plating job business

While Taiwan showed a strong performance, the business environment remained challenging for automotive industries in Thailand and Indonesia. This is due to the persistent production adjustments of various automobile manufacturers resulting from the impacts of COVID-19 and also the soaring prices of raw materials such as non-ferrous metals and others.

Consequently, net sales in the plating job business increased 6.3% year-over-year to 1,281 million yen but segment profit decreased 34.8% year-over-year to 15 million yen.

4) Real estate rental business

The occupancy rate of properties owned by the Company remained strong including office buildings for rent in Shin-Osaka.

Consequently, net sales in the real estate rental business increased 1.6% year-over-year to 211 million yen and segment profit increased 4.7% year-over-year to 133 million yen.

It is noted that sales of the segments above include intersegment sales and transfers.

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

Total assets at the end of the period under review decreased 977 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 100,211 million yen. This was primarily attributable to a 608 million yen increase in notes receivable-trade, and a 206 million yen increase in contract assets, which were partially offset by a 1,017 million yen decrease in accounts receivable-trade and an 869 million yen decrease in cash and deposits.

Total liabilities increased 157 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 22,634 million yen. This was primarily attributable to a 560 million yen increase in contract liabilities, and a 373 million yen increase in electronically recorded obligations-operating, which were partially offset by a 992 million yen decrease in notes and accounts payable-trade and a 412 million yen decrease in income taxes payable.

Total net assets decreased 1,135 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 77,576 million yen. This was primarily attributable to a 1,700 million yen increase in foreign currency translation adjustment and a 1,423 million yen increase in retained earnings, which were more than offset by a 4,077 million yen increase in treasury shares.

As a result, the equity ratio decreased by 0.4 percentage points from 77.8% at the end of the previous fiscal year to 77.4%.
