2. Review of Financial Results

1. General Overview
2. • Q1 FY2021 consolidated performance rebounded from the impact of the pandemic in the same period of the previous year, with an economic recovery pushing up demand. Revenue and profit increased year-on-year (with a return to profitability). Meanwhile, the outlook remains unclear due to such factors as the drop in vehicle production caused by the global semiconductor shortage, the spread of virus variants, and the impact of soaring material prices.
   • The group aims to build a strong business structure that can respond flexibly and quickly to rapid changes in the external environment and secure stable profits. We are endeavoring to strengthen profitability through structural reforms, such as the closing/consolidation and concentration of business locations, as well as through further cost reduction activities.
3. Performance by Business Segment

Net sales 109.8 billion yen (up 67.9% YoY)

1. Automotive Products 94.7 billion yen (up 78.6% YoY)

• Japan, the Americas, Europe
  While there was an impact from the drop in vehicle production caused by the semiconductor shortage, production volume and revenue increased due to a rebound from the impact in the same period of the previous year of restrictions on economic activity and reconfigured production plans.
• Asia
  In China, although production was impacted by the semiconductor shortage in some places, overall, sales were brisk and increased. In addition, a positive effect from foreign exchange increased revenue.
  In Thailand, although there was an observable impact from the pandemic, revenue increased due to higher production volume, primarily for export.
  The result was higher year-on-year revenue across Asia.

• Chemical Products Business
  Factors such as an economic recovery were accompanied by a gradual recovery in demand for printers and copy machines, pushing up revenue.
