1. Consolidated Performance

(1) Operating Results

In the first two quarters under review, the global economy faced increasing uncertainty due to the ongoing sharp rises in raw material and energy prices, supply chain disruptions, the protracted situation in Ukraine, inflation, and rising interest rates. This was despite easing of restrictions aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19. In Japan, consumer spending and corporate earnings showed signs of recovery, but the rapid depreciation of the yen and concerns about further price hikes made the situation unpredictable.

In the domestic housing-related industry, the number of new housing starts showed signs of weakness, but the household appliance sector remained firm, particularly in the renovation category. Under these circumstances, the Rinnai Group pursued three key strategies under its medium-term business plan, New ERA 2025: "Advancement in addressing social challenges," "Expansion of business scale," and "Revolution of corporate structure." During the period under review, for example, we developed an ultrafine-bubble water heater that helps improve people's quality of life, as well as a gas water heater with a built-ininstant-heating unit. We also commissioned a new plant in the United States and otherwise worked to expand our business in the growing U.S. market. In these and other ways, we made steady progress in fulfilling our promise to our customers, "Creating a healthier way of living," and achieving sustainable and solid long-term growth.

For the period, overseas sales weakened due to delays in product supply from Japan and activity restrictions caused by lockdowns in China. However, domestic sales increased thanks to strong demand, especially for water heaters, and the Rinnai Group reported a year-on-year increase in net sales. On the earnings side, we posted a decrease in operating income due to rises in raw material and distribution costs, and increased expenses for the operation of a new plant in united states.

As a result, consolidated net sales for the period amounted to ¥194,347 million, up 8.1% from the previous corresponding period. Operating income declined 5.1%, to ¥19,084 million, while ordinary income climbed 2.4%, to ¥22,213 million, thanks to an increase in foreign exchange gain. Net income attributable to owners of the parent company edged up 1.0%, to ¥13,382 million.

Our results by geographical segment were as follows:

Japan

In Japan, sales of mainstay water heaters grew substantially as we worked to strengthen our production system to eliminate supply delays. Despite soaring raw material prices and distribution costs, our business benefited from higher sales and the yen's depreciation. Sales in Japan increased 11.0% year on year, to ¥93,982 million, and operating income jumped 29.5%, to ¥13,200 million.

United States

In the United States, sales in local-currency terms declined due to disruptions in international logistics and tight parts procurement conditions, which caused delays in the supply of finished tankless water heaters and knockdown parts from Japan. Nevertheless, sales in yen terms increased 9.6%, to ¥23,325 million, thanks to foreign exchange factors. Due to higher expenses for the operation of a new plant, however, we reported a segment operating loss of ¥1,179 million.

Australia

Sales in Australia declined due to tight parts procurement conditions, which affected supplies of tankless water heaters and heating equipment from Japan. Due also to surging raw material prices and logistics costs, sales decreased 1.3% year on year, to ¥13,613 million, and operating income fell 66.4%, to ¥460 million.

China

Production and sales activities in China were constrained by lockdowns in Shanghai due to the spread of COVID-19. As a result, sales in China edged down 0.9% year on year, to ¥24,971 million. Due to decreases in sales promotion expenses and provision for doubtful accounts, however, operating

income rose 22.0%, to ¥3,810 million.

South Korea

Sales of mainstay boilers declined amid weakening business confidence due to rising prices and interest rates. Accordingly, sales in South Korea slipped 0.5%, to ¥15,596 million, and operating income declined 9.8%, to ¥885 million.

Indonesia

Despite weak sales of mainstay tabletop stoves, sales of built-in hobs (stovetops) and range hoods increased on the back of sales promotion activities. Consequently, sales in Indonesia rose 19.1%, to ¥8,043 million. Due to soaring raw material prices, however, operating income fell 36.8%, to ¥955 million.
