1. Qualitative Information about the Quarterly Results
(1) Operating Results
During the period up to the first quarter of the fiscal year 2022 (from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022), the global economy and capital investment demands within a wide range of industries have seen recoveries from the economic impacts due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. However, a high degree of future uncertainty has continued with supply chain disruptions mainly with the shortage of parts and raw materials in semi- conductors, a large-scale lockdowns in China with the zero-covid strategy, high price energy inflation triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and accelerating inflation in the U.S.
The demand for automatic control equipment within the semi-conductor and electronic industries has remained high within China, other regions in Asia, and in Japan. The demand within the automotive industry increased related to batteries for the electric vehicles in China and in the U.S. The demand for machine tools has also done well in the global market outside Japan, and the food, medical equipment manufacturing and other industries have remained strong in the market.
Within this business environment, the SMC Group has continued to strive to avoid the impacts of part and raw material shortages on its production capabilities. At the same time, SMC has continued to make aggressive capital investments to secure its product supply capabilities in order to meet its customers' demands, and create multi- location production facilities to withstand disasters based on their BCP (Business Continuity Plan) initiatives. In addition, SMC has also continued to develop new products with highly environmentally friendly features which contribute to a significant CO2 emission reduction for its customers, and has strived to strengthen its global sales collaboration with its IT infrastructure.
As a result, the consolidated net sales of SMC were 211,359 million yen (increased by 15.6% from the previous corresponding period) mainly from increase in sales quantity and increase in revenue from the foreign exchange fluctuations for the sales in overseas. Operating profit was 67,975 million yen (increased by 18.5%) due to the revenue increase, in spite of the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses mainly from personnel cost increase. Ordinary profit was 104,008 million yen (increased by 69.5%), with the increase in interest income from the interest rate increase in the market and increase from depreciation of the yen. With the sale of investment securities, profit before income taxes was 106,182 million yen (increased by 72.9%), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 75,403 million yen (increased by 64.1%).

(3) Consolidated Forecasts and Other Forward-Looking Information
Even though there is still an assumption that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) will re-expand, each and every factory within the SMC has been taking thorough measures to prevent the spread of infections and continuing its normal operations. In addition, our factories in China are out of the scope of the lockdown so the effect has been limited.
Regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the business within the conflict region only consists 0.8% of the consolidated sales and the 0.6% of the consolidated assets and consolidated net assets respectively, that impact on the SMC's business is limited. As the G7 and its allies are tightening the sanctions against Russia, SMC have brought its exports to Russia to a complete standstill. SMC will continue to act cautiously in complying with each countries' laws and regulations.
There is no change to the consolidated forecast for the fiscal year 2023, announced in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights for the Year ended March 31, 2022 [under Japanese GAAP]" issued on May 13, 2022.
