1. Qualitative Information on the Quarterly Results

1. Explanations on Operating Results

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 (from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022), the Japanese economy showed signs of a gradual recovery as restrictions on action due to the COVID-19 eased.

The global economy continues to experience high raw material and energy prices due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and policy rate hikes by national central banks to curb inflation, all of which have raised concerns about a stagnant economic recovery.

Under such circumstances, consolidated net sales for the period were 20,079 million yen (a 70.0% increase as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year), the operating income was 2,622 million yen (a 110.2% increase). The ordinary income was 2,956 million yen (a 138.0% increase) and the net income attributable to owners of the parent was 2,019 million yen (compared to a 157.4% increase in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Results by business segment were as follows.

From the three months ended June 30, 2022 (from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022), in order to better evaluate and manage the performance of each reportable segment, the Company has changed its method of allocating company-wide general and administrative expenses. Excluding general and administrative expenses related to research and development mainly for the creation and promotion of new businesses, to each segment based on reasonable standards.

Segment information for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year is described based on the calculation method after the change.

Titanium Metal Business

Sales of titanium metal in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, demand for both aircraft and general industrial applications remained steady.

Demand for aircraft applications is increasing on the back of a recovery trend in passenger demand, along with demand for substitutes for Russian-made expanded products. Demand for high-purity titanium for general industrial and semiconductor applications also remains strong. In addition to domestic shipments including inventory, we also supply titanium from our joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

In terms of earnings, costs continue to rise due to the high cost of raw ore, sub-materials, and transportation.

However, in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, due to the time lag in reflecting rising costs in the cost of sales, the depreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar, price revisions by some customers, and increased shipment volume, net sales of the Titanium Metal Business for the period reported 13,978 million yen, (an increase 140.3%, as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year) and the operating income of the business for the period was 1,652 million yen, (a loss of 438 million yen).

Catalysts Business

Sales of catalysts for polyolefin in the first quarter of the current fiscal year were lower than the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the recording of sales for the first quarter of the previous fiscal year that had been delayed from the previous fiscal year, despite strong demand for polyolefin catalysts themselves.

2

Under such circumstances, net sales of the Catalysts Business for the period were 1,850 million yen (a decrease 8.4%, as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year), and the operating income of the business for the period was 533 million yen, a 26.0% decrease.

Chemicals Business

Sales of chemicals in the first quarter of the current fiscal year were lower than in the same period of the previous year due to a decline in demand for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), which is the main application for ultra-fine nickel powder, and economic stagnation caused by the U.S. interest rate hike and the lockdown in China.

Under such circumstances, net sales of the Chemical Business for the period were 4,295 million yen (an increase 6.8%, as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year), and the operating income of the business for the period was 817 million yen, a 31.3% decrease.
