1. Outline of Consolidated Results

(1) Outline of Consolidated Results in Fiscal 2019

During fiscal 2019, the period under review, the Japanese economy showed a trend of moderate expansion due to an increase in capital investment and robust personal consumption. Although the global economy experienced intensifying trade tensions between U.S. and China, Brexit issues in U.K., and geopolitical risks, it remained to be robust as a whole. This was due primarily to firm economies in the U.S. and Asia.

In the Japanese auto industry, the production volume remained flat for both domestic and export vehicles. Despite increased demand in ASEAN countries and India, the global automobile production volume decreased year on year. This was due mainly to the decreased production volume in China caused by the expired tax reduction on compact cars in the previous fiscal year, and production decrease in Europe.

In this climate, for the purpose of expanding earnings of automotive lighting equipment in the mid- and long- term perspective, KOITO Group has reinforced its overseas production capacity, strengthened development capability, and expanded marketing activities. In addition to KOITO's subsidiary in Brazil put into operation in May 2018, KOITO has expanded plants and put into operations in FUZHOU KOITO TAYIH AUTOMOTIVE LAMP., LTD. in November 2018, and PT. INDONESIA KOITO in March 2019.

KOITO Group's consolidated net sales decreased 2.7% year on year to ¥826.2 billion. This was attributable to a decrease in the automobile production volume and the status change of Shanghai Koito Automotive Lamp Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Koito") from a consolidated company to a company accounted for by the equity-method in the end of September 2017, and its non-consolidation in the end of March 2018.

Results by geographical segment are outlined as follows:

〔Japan〕

While domestic automobile production remained flat, sales in Japan increased 5.5% year on year to ¥384.6 billion due to an increase in new orders and a shift in automobile lamps to LED.

〔North America〕

While automobile production in the region remained flat, sales in North America increased 7.2% year on year to ¥200.3 billion due to an increase in new orders and a shift in automobile lamps to LED.

〔China〕

Despite the decrease in production volume, new orders expanded in China. However, sales in China decreased 40.6% year on year to ¥93.7 billion due to the effect of non-consolidation of Shanghai Koito.

〔Asia〕

Sales in Asia increased 10.2% year on year to ¥106.3 billion. Sales growth was mainly driven by an increase in automobile production volume and an increase in new orders in Thailand.

〔Europe〕

Sales in Europe decreased 10.3% year on year to ¥38.5 billion. This was mainly attributable to the decrease in automobile production volume and completion of current round of new vehicle stage effects or the end of production of some of our ordered products portfolio in this region.

〔Other regions〕

KOITO's subsidiary, NAL Brasil commenced operations in May 2018. Sales in the region was ¥2.5 billion.

On the earnings front, although KOITO implemented rationalization in Japan and overseas, operating income decreased 2.2% year on year to ¥101.5 billion, and recurring profit decreased 2.3% year on year to ¥105.4 billion. This was attributable to the effect of non-consolidation of Shanghai Koito and increased R&D expenses. As KOITO recorded extraordinary gain on sales of investment in Shanghai Koito's capital in the previous fiscal year, profit attributable to owners of parent decreased 12.6% year on year to ¥72.8 billion.
