1. Qualitative Information Regarding Financial Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2019

  1. Information Regarding Operating Results

The global economy as a whole saw moderate growth during the six months ended September 30, 2019, but concerns over a slowdown in the future further deepened, mainly due to increasing trade disputes, the slowdown of the Chinese economy, and policy uncertainties in many countries. In the United States, steady economic recovery continued, underpinned by a continued improvement in the employment situation and an increase in individual consumption. Meanwhile, Chinese economic growth continued to slow down as a result of the trade conflict with the United States and a slowdown in domestic demand, which resulted in a slowdown in exports and a decline in production in Europe and weakened the performance of Asian emerging economies. Amid such circumstances, the Japanese economy was faced with a fall in business confidence, mainly in the manufacturing industry, largely due to a slowdown in industrial production and exports.

Among the industries in which the Group operates, the automobile industry in Japan saw an increase in sales of new vehicles, mainly light vehicles and medium-sized and large ordinary passenger vehicles. Meanwhile, China experienced a significant drop mainly in sales of passenger vehicles, and both the United States and Europe also saw a decrease in sales, leading to a drop in global automobile sales as a whole. Both domestic and overseas demand for industrial machinery were weak. Housing starts remained flat in the United States but declined in Japan. In the electronics field, smartphone shipments decreased.

Under the business circumstances described above, the Group's operating results for the six months ended September 30 were as follows.

Revenues decreased by 12.0% year on year to ¥456,888 million due to a fall in raw material prices (sliding-scale raw material price system), in addition to a decrease in demand mainly for the Group's mainstays.

Adjusted operating income* for the six months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by ¥27,147 million year on year to ¥5,932 million. This was attributable to a major production adjustment implemented in order to address a decrease in demand and to optimize inventories, as part of measures to improve operational efficiency, in addition to a slowdown in the electronics-related and semiconductor-related markets, a decline in demand for various manufacturing equipment and industrial machinery, and a decrease in sales of new vehicles, despite measures including a reduction in fixed costs.

Operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by ¥73,375 million year on year, resulting in an operating loss of ¥37,600 million. This was attributable to the recording of impairment losses amounting to ¥42,581 million in other operating expenses for the magnetic materials and applications business as a whole during the six months ended September 30, 2019, which was due mainly to the changes in the operating environment of the rare earth magnet business and the subsequent review of the future profitability of the magnetic materials and applications business. For the details, please refer to "Notice Concerning the Recording of Impairment Losses, Revisions to Operating Forecast for the Year Ending March 31, 2020 and Revisions to Dividend Forecast" released today. Income before income taxes decreased by ¥75,918 million year on year to a loss before income taxes of ¥38,681 million. Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company decreased by ¥69,130 million from the same period of the previous year to a net loss attributable to shareholders of the parent company of ¥40,992 million.

The Group introduced business management based on Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) with the aim of improving cash flow and capital efficiency. As one of the measures to address these key management challenges in the fiscal year 2021 Medium-term Management Plan, the Group reduces the level of equity investment mainly by shortening the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) to reduce the risk of fluctuations in raw material prices. As a result, free cash flow for the six months ended September 30, 2019, improved by ¥33,290 million from the same period last year.

The results by business segment are as follows. Note that revenues for each segment include intersegment revenues. There were no significant changes to the businesses of the Group during the six months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company transferred soft magnetic components and materials from the Specialty Steel Products segment to the Magnetic Materials and Applications segment, and changed the segment name from the Magnetic Materials and Applications segment to the Magnetic Materials and Applications / Power Electronics Materials segment as of April 1, 2019. Due to this change, the results of soft magnetic components and materials for the six months ended September 30, 2018 (April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018), have been recorded under the Magnetic Materials and Applications / Power Electronics Materials segment.

Specialty Steel Products

Revenues in the Specialty Steel Products segment for the six months ended September 30, 2019 were ¥127,320 million, a decrease of 9.4% as compared with those for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

Breaking down the revenues by business, sales of molds and tool steel, among the business of tool steel & roll, decreased year on year, due to a fall in raw material prices (sliding-scale raw material price system) as well as a decrease in demand in international markets especially in China and inventory adjustments in Japan. Both domestic sales and exports of rolls increased year on year. Sales of injection molding machine parts remained unchanged year on year as demand remained firm.

Among the business of industrial, aerospace & energy materials, sales of industrial materials decreased year on year, on the back of a decline in demand for products related to automobiles and a fall in raw material prices (sliding-scale raw material price system). Sales of aerospace and energy materials increased year on year due to an increase in demand for aircraft-related components and materials.

Overall sales of alloys for electronic products decreased year on year, due to a decline in demand for smartphone-related materials, and semiconductor package components, although sales of organic EL panel-related components increased and sales of battery related components remained firm.

Adjusted operating income decreased by ¥14,843 million to ¥360 million compared with the six months ended September 30, 2018, due to a decline in demand for the Company's mainstays including molds and tool steel and alloys for electronic products, a fall in raw material prices, and an active reduction of work in process. Operating income of the segment decreased by ¥14,086 million year on year to ¥386 million.

Functional Components and Equipment

Revenues in the Functional Components and Equipment segment for the six months ended September 30, 2019 were ¥157,473 million, a decrease of 14.6% year on year.

Breaking down the revenues by business, sales of casting components for automobiles in the United States decreased year on year. This was attributable to a decrease in demand for light truck and passenger vehicles and a fall in raw material prices (sliding-scale raw material price system), despite an increase in demand for casting components for commercial vehicles. Meanwhile in Asia, sales decreased year on year driven by a fall in demand in the Indian market. Sales of heat-resistant exhaust casting components decreased year on year, mainly reflecting a decrease in sales of new vehicles in China and Europe. It has been determined to withdraw from the aluminum wheels business. Therefore, in March 2019, the Company sold a consolidated subsidiary manufacturing aluminum wheels in the United States, and the termination of production in Japan is also progressing as planned towards the end of September 2020. As a result, overall sales of casting components for automobiles decreased year on year.

Among piping components, overall sales of pipe fittings in the six months ended September 30, 2019 decreased from the those of the six months ended September 30, 2018, due to a decline in exports to the United States and the Middle East although sales in Japan remained unchanged year on year. Sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment decreased year on year due to the delay of some capital investment projects. As a result, overall sales of piping components decreased year on year.

Adjusted operating income decreased by ¥5,686 million year on year to ¥1,204 million, largely due to a decrease in sales from the automotive casting components business in the United States which is the Company's core business as well as a continued slump in sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Operating income decreased by ¥4,240 million year on year to ¥646 million.

Magnetic Materials and Applications / Power Electronics

Revenues in the Magnetic Materials and Applications / Power Electronics segment for the six months ended September 30, 2019 were ¥60,595 million, a decrease of 16.0% year on year.

Breaking down the revenues by business, sales of rare earth magnets among magnetic materials and applications decreased year on year. This was because sales of industrial equipment-related rare earth magnets decreased year on year due to a slowdown in the electronics-related and semiconductor-related markets and a significant decline in demand for various manufacturing equipment and industrial machinery, and sales of automotive electronic components also decreased year on year. Sales of ferrite magnets decreased year on year due to a decrease in automotive electronic components. As a result, overall sales of magnetic materials and applications decreased year on year.

Among power electronics materials, sales of soft magnetic materials and their applied products decreased year on year due to a decline in demand for amorphous metals for transformers and some components for consumer equipment, despite an increase in demand for the use of automotive electronic components. Meanwhile, sales of ceramic components increased year on year due to an increase in demand mainly for the use of automotive electronic components. As a result, sales of power electronics materials as a whole remained at the same level as the same period last year.

- 5 -

Adjusted operating income decreased by ¥3,819 million year on year to an adjusted operating loss of ¥674 million, due to a decrease in demand for magnetic materials and applications. Operating income decreased by ¥52,199 million year on year to an operating loss of ¥43,385 million, compared with the six months ended September 30, 2018. This was attributable to the recording of impairment losses amounting to ¥42,581 million in other operating expenses for the magnetic materials and applications business as a whole during the six months ended September 30, 2019, which was due mainly to the changes in the operating environment of the rare earth magnet business and the subsequent review of the future profitability of the magnetic materials and applications business.

Wires, Cables, and Related Products

Revenues in the Wires, Cables, and Related Products segment for the six months ended September 30, 2019, were ¥110,988 million, a decrease of 8.3% year on year.

Breaking down the revenues by business, sales of medical use increased year on year due to an increase in demand for both tubes and cables. Sales of wires and cables for rolling stock decreased year on year as large-scale projects entered the offseason. Sales of magnet wires decreased year on year due to a decrease in their demand for both automotive and industrial applications. Sales of electronic wires also decreased year on year due to a decline in their demand mainly for FA / robots. As a result, overall sales of wires, cables, and related products decreased year on year.

Sales of automotive components decreased year on year, reflecting a decline in demand for automotive electronic components and brake hoses due to a decrease in global new vehicle sales.

Adjusted operating income decreased by ¥3,457 million to ¥3,743 million, as compared with the six months ended September 30, 2018, led in part by a decline in demand. Operating income of the segment decreased by ¥3,160 million year on year to ¥3,719 million for the same period.

Other

Revenues in the Other segment for the six months ended September 30, 2019, were ¥1,708 million, a decrease of 22.8%, and adjusted operating income increased by ¥80 million to ¥380 million, as compared with those for the six months ended September 30, 2018. Operating income of the segment decreased by ¥229 million to ¥153 million for the same period.

*In order to give a true view of the condition of the Group's business without the effects of business restructuring etc., the Group shows "adjusted operating income"which is the operating income (loss) recorded in the consolidated statement of income, excluding non-operating income and expenses, and extraordinary income and losses.

(5) Changes in Accounting Policies

Adoption of IFRS 16 "Leases"

From the beginning of the full-year ending March 31, 2020, the Group has adopted IFRS 16 "Leases." IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. This standard introduces a single accounting model under which lessees recognize all leases in the statement of consolidated financial position.

As a transitional measure upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group applies this standard with the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard recognized as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings for the full-year ending March 31, 2020.

The leases held by the Group are mainly real estate leases, and the effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the condensed statement of consolidated financial position as of the beginning of the full-year ending March 31, 2020 are minor and include: an increase of ¥16,693 million in assets mainly due to recognizing right-of-use assets, an increase of ¥17,300 million in liabilities mainly due to recognizing lease liabilities, and a decrease of ¥607 million in equity due to the adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. Additionally, under IFRS 16, the depreciation adjustment of right-of-use assets is included in cash flows from operating activities instead of the payment of operating lease expense, and the payment of lease liabilities is included in cash flows from financing activities, in the condensed cash flow statement for the six months ended September 30, 2019. This resulted in an increase in cash flows from operating activities and a decrease in cash flows from financing activities, compared to those under the old accounting standard.
