The above forecasts are based on the information available as of the date of the release of this document. As a result, a variety of factors in the future may cause actual results to differ from these forecasts.

1. Qualitative Information

(1) Operating Results

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 (January 1-March 31, 2022), the global economy saw economic activity stagnate from a resurgence of new coronavirus infections, higher resource prices and logistics costs, and shortages in supplies of semiconductors, compounded by supply chain disruptions from the increasingly tense situation in Ukraine. In the United States, despite a pickup in inflation caused by higher resource prices, the economy remained solid, supported by retail consumption reflecting the easing of measures to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections and a favorable environment for hiring and wages. While a move toward normal economic activity was seen in Europe as countries eased lockdowns in major cities and other measures to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections, economies were adversely affected by high energy prices and supply chain disruptions from the tense situation in Ukraine. The pace of recovery in the Japanese economy slowed on stagnant economic activity from a resurgence of new coronavirus infections. The recovery in emerging market economies was sluggish, in large part reflecting the stagnation of economic activity in China from lockdowns in major urban areas.

With regard to markets related to the Mabuchi Group's products, the automotive products market saw production adjustments from shortages in supplies of semiconductors and electronic parts, and markets slowed in all regions except China. Demand remained stable in the life and industrial Products market.

Against this backdrop, Mabuchi's motor sales declined 9.4% year on year in terms of volume, with a 0.7% year-on-year decrease in value. These figures were 2.4% below the initial first-quarter plan for volume, and 0.5% short in terms of value. As a result, consolidated net sales for the first quarter were 35,179 million yen (a 0.8% decrease year on year), and motor sales, which account for the majority of net sales, were 35,175 million yen (a 0.7% decrease year on year).

Although operating income was boosted by factors including a weaker yen year on year and improvements in sales prices and the product mix, these were more than offset by negative factors including lower sales volume and a rise in commodity prices, resulting in operating income of 2,704 million yen (a 48.4% decrease year on year). With this decline in operating income, ordinary income was 4,924 million yen (a 32.7% decrease year on year). Profit before income taxes was 4,844 million yen (a 33.4% decrease year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 3,058 million yen (a 46.9% decrease year on year).

The next session describes market trends and sales conditions categorized into separate markets for motors.

  • 1) Automotive Products Market

    Net sales declined to 25,804 million yen (a 3.4% decrease year on year). The main reason was production adjustments from the shortage of semiconductor supplies and logistics disruptions, with lower sales of both medium-sized automotive motors, which includes motors for power window lifters, motors for power seats, and motors for electric parking brakes, and small automotive motors including door lock actuators, motors for door mirrors, and air conditioning damper actuators.

  • 2) Life and Industrial Products Market

Net sales rose to 9,371 million yen (a 7.6% increase year on year). Sales of motors for home appliances, power tools and housing equipment, and office equipment decreased on a lull in demand related to working from home and people staying at home instead of going out, but sales of motors for health and medical devices and personal care products rose.

From the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the previous Consumer and Industrial Products Market segment has been renamed the Life and Industrial Products Market to reflect a greater emphasis on motors for medical devices and industrial equipment in addition to the previous applications for home appliances, etc.

(2) Financial Position

Total assets as of March 31, 2022, were 292,094 million yen, a 6,389 million yen increase from the end of the previous fiscal year. Major changes from the end of the previous fiscal year included increases of 5,642 million yen in inventories, 4,039 million yen in property, plant and equipment, and 2,987 million yen in trade notes and accounts receivable, and a 7,142 million yen decrease in cash and bank deposits.

Total liabilities decreased 1,680 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 24,114 million yen. Major changes from the end of the previous fiscal year included decreases of 1,879 million yen in accrued income taxes and 1,031 million yen in other current liabilities, and a 1,037 million yen increase in deferred tax liabilities-non-current.

Total net assets increased 8,070 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 267,979 million yen. This included an 11,510 million yen increase in foreign currency translation adjustments, a 784 million yen decrease in retained earnings, and a 2,957 million yen increase in treasury stock, which is deducted from net assets.

(3) Forward-Looking Statements Including Consolidated Results Forecast

There are concerns of a slowdown in the global economy as economic activity is expected to stagnate on a resurgence of new coronavirus infections and higher resource prices and logistics costs, as well as supply chain disruptions caused by shortages of semiconductor supplies and the increasingly tense situation in Ukraine. Although continued growth is forecast for the U.S. economy, supported by solid retail consumption on a favorable hiring and wage environment, the pace of growth is expected to slow on proactive interest rate increases to rein in high inflation. In Europe, an economic slowdown is forecast from high energy prices and supply chain disruptions from the increasingly tense situation in Ukraine. While the Japanese economy is seen moving back toward normal economic activity as new coronavirus prevention measures are eased, increased pressure on household finances from higher resource prices is seen restraining retail consumption, and only a gradual pace of recovery is expected. In emerging market economies, a slowdown is forecast for China on factors including stagnant economic activity from lockdowns of urban areas, and the overall pace of growth is seen slowing as other economies are affected by U.S. interest rate increases.

With regard to markets related to the Mabuchi Group's products, the outlook for the automotive products market is unclear, given shortages in supplies of semiconductors and other parts and supply chain disruptions from logistics issues and the increasingly tense situation in Ukraine. In the life and industrial products market, we are forecasting continued solid demand in markets in all regions.

With regard to the situation in Russia and Ukraine, events going forward could affect the Mabuchi Group's business activities, and we will be following developments closely.

Against this backdrop, our forecasts for consolidated results and dividends are unchanged. Going forward, if extremely major changes emerge in our operating environment, we will review our forecasts for operating results, and promptly disclose any changes to these forecasts.

Our forecasts assume an exchange rate of US$1 = ¥110, which is unchanged from the initial forecasts.

Note: The above forecasts were made based on information that is available at the present moment. Actual results may differ from expectations owing to various future factors, the main ones of which are as follows:

Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates

Changes in economic conditions and demand trends in our business areasRapid technological innovations, such as new technologies or new productsFluctuations in market prices of copper, steel materials, rare earths, and other raw materials Note, however, that the factors that could affect our results are not limited to the above.
