1. Qualitative Information Regarding the Quarterly Financial Results

(1) Overview of Consolidated Business Results

In October 2023, Komori Corporation will celebrate the centennial of its founding. In anticipation of this landmark celebration, Komori has defined its Purpose (reason for being) as "Delivering Kando-customer satisfaction beyond expectations-with the power of print technology to support society." Print technology is capable of expanding the potential of both print media and digital media, enhancing the economic efficiency and trustworthiness of social activities, and contributing to the reduction of environmental burden. The Komori Group will continue advancing this technology in order to better contribute to society and grow into a corporate group that transcends the expectations of all its stakeholders. Based on the above Purpose, the Company has also formulated "KOMORI2030," a long-term vision to be achieved by 2030. Komori will promote business management aimed at realizing this long-term vision over the course of the Sixth Medium-Term Management Plan, which is currently under way, as well as the subsequent Seventh and Eighth Medium-Term Management Plans.

During the first three months of the fiscal year under review, the outlook for the global economy remained uncertain due to the prolongation of the Ukraine situation, along with worldwide inflation and the resulting tightening of monetary policies in major countries. Against this backdrop, consolidated net sales amounted to ¥19,369 million, representing a 1.0% increase from the same period of the previous fiscal year. An overview of consolidated net sales by region is set out below.

spread of COVID-19 infections resulted in recovery in personal consumption and inbound tourism demand, leading to modest yet constant economic recovery. Amidst these circumstances, there has been an ongoing trend toward executing investment aimed at improving productivity, enhancing efficiency and otherwise streamlining printing operations in light of surging labor costs, worker shortages, constantly high energy prices and rising prices of printing supplies. To accommodate this trend, Komori engaged in marketing activities focused on delivering proposals designed to enhance ROI via the use of "advance" models. As a result, the volume of orders received for sheet-fed offset presses remained robust, with domestic sales increasing 11.6% year on year to ¥5,243 million.

North America

In North America, the pace of economic recovery was dragged down by steep inflation and high interest rates. However, on the back of ongoing improvement in employment and strong demand associated with capital expenditure, net sales in this region amounted to ¥1,764 million, an increase of 3.8% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Europe

In Europe, the volume of orders received remained robust despite the prolongation of the Ukraine situation and ongoing fallout from inflation. However, sales recorded for products delivered in the first three months were lower than those recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. With the schedule for product delivery concentrated in the second quarter, first-quarter net sales in this region decreased 13.9% year on year to ¥3,979 million.

Greater China

In Greater China, personal consumption continued to recover after the lifting of the "zero- COVID" policy. Having participated in Print China 2023 (5th International Printing Technology Exhibition of China) held in April in Guangdong, Komori was able to confirm the robustness of printing machinery demand. On the other hand, there is a trend toward postponing capital expenditure as the economic recovery that began in January 2023 has been halted by supply chain reorganization undertaken by overseas corporations, unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations and the resulting depreciation of Chinese yuan. Consequentially, net sales in this region decreased 4.5% year on year to ¥4,495 million.
