1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Results

(1) Analysis of operating results

In the Japanese economy of the consolidated cumulative period of the second quarter of this fiscal year, the business sentiment in the manufacturing industry deteriorated due to the stagnation of supply chains due to the lockdown of cities in China, and there were also concerns about the risk of an economic recession due to inflation, such as the depreciation of the yen and the surge in resource prices affected by the situation in Ukraine. On the other hand, there are signs of recovery in private consumption due to the alleviation of activity restrictions that recovered the crowds and resulted in recovery of service consumptions.

As for the global economy, in the United States the manufacturing and housing sectors weakened, while private consumption remained firm. In China, due to the implementation of strict movement restrictions in Shanghai and other cities this spring, private consumption decreased and production activity in the manufacturing industry also declined. ASEAN continued to recover moderately amid the continuing spread of the novel coronavirus infections. Thai economy remained sluggish, while Indonesia continued to expand its economy of domestic demand and also external demand of primary commodities, etc. due to the "With Corona" policy. In Malaysia, both domestic and external demand are firm due to the recovery of flow of people from the corona situation and exports mainly for electrical/electronic products, etc.

The automotive industry, to which the company group belongs, due to the impact on the supply chain caused by the Chinese government's tightening of restrictions on activities, the number of vehicles produced in Japan decreased significantly compared year-on-year in the consolidated cumulative period of the second quarter of this fiscal year. The production volume in China also declined year-on-year. On the other hand, automobile production in ASEAN is steady, Malaysia and Indonesia have a significant year-on-year growth, resulting in a significant year-on-year increase in the total of the three countries.

In such an environment, due to the effect of new product launches, the overseas sales increase rate exceeded the market growth rate on a vehicle production volume basis mainly in ASEAN in the consolidated cumulative period for the second quarter of this fiscal year. However, as a result of the decline in sales in the mainstay Japan domestic market and the Company's non-consolidated sales at approximately the same level, sales decreased to 62,935 million yen (down 3.8% year-on-year) on a consolidated basis. Despite cost reductions and productivity improvements, the operating income was 1,121 million yen (down 72.3% year-on- year) due to the impact of declining sales, soaring raw material costs and energy prices, etc., ordinary income was 1,613 million yen (down 65.5% year-on-year) due to the allocation of investment income of 776 million yen by equity method , etc., and net income attributable to the parent company became 1,266 million yen (down 57.8% year-on-year).

Results by each segment are as follows: 1.Auto-Components business

Due to the effect of new product launches, the overseas sales increase rate exceeded the market growth rate on a vehicle production volume basis mainly in ASEAN. However, as a result of the decline in sales in the mainstay Japan domestic market and the Company's non-consolidated sales at approximately the same level, the sales of auto-components business decreased to 59,460 million yen (down 3.3% year-on-year). Despite cost reductions and productivity improvements, the operating income was 966 million yen (down 75.3% year-on-year) due to the impact of declining sales, soaring raw material costs and energy prices, etc.

2.After-Market business

In the after-market business, sales was 4,215 million yen (up 3.2% year-on-year) due to strong sales of winter wipers and sales through the Internet, and operating income was 154 million yen (up 63.7% year-on- year), due to the termination of liquidation of a U.S. after-market sales subsidiary.

In the previous consolidated fiscal year, the automobile light bulb manufacturing and sales business, which was included in "Other," was abolished from the "Other" category from the first quarter of this fiscal year by the sale of the such business. As a result, from the consolidated cumulative period of the first quarter of this fiscal year, the segments became two segments: "Auto-Components business" and "After-Market business".

In addition, from the beginning of the consolidated accounting period for the first quarter of this fiscal year, "Accounting Standards for Revenue Recognition" (Corporate Accounting Standards No. 29, March 31, 2020, hereafter "Revenue Recognition Accounting Standard"), etc., is applied, and the figures related to the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 are figures after applying such accounting standards, etc. Also, each type of increase/reduction figures and rates are also calculated by comparisons with the figures after such accounting standards, etc. is applied.

The application of the Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards, etc. is in accordance with the transitional treatment set forth in the proviso to Paragraph 84 of the Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards, and the cumulative impact of retrospectively applying the new accounting policy before the beginning of the first quarter consolidated accounting period is adjusted to the retained earnings at the beginning of the first quarter of this fiscal year.

As a result, the sales for the consolidated cumulative period of the second quarter of this fiscal year decreased by 1,794 million yen, cost of sales decreased by 1,204 million yen, and operating income, ordinary income and net income before income taxes and other adjustments decreased by 590 million yen respectively. In addition, the retained earnings balance increased by 1,031 million yen.
