Consolidated Financial Performance and Financial Position
1. Overview of the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020
During the period under review, the global economy was hit hard by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The stagnation in production and consumption activities as well as the disruption to supply chains caused by the restrictions on international movement of people and goods resulted in chaos in both Japanese and overseas economies, causing a record-setting drop in the economy. Subsequently, the global economy rebounded around July, as economic activities resumed, initially in China and followed by the U.S. and Europe.
Under such circumstances, Toray Group in May 2020 launched the new medium-term management program "Project AP-G 2022" aimed at achieving sound, sustainable growth through the implementation of basic strategies such as global expansion in growth business fields, strengthening competitiveness, and strengthening the management foundation.
As a result, consolidated revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, declined 14.0% compared with the same period a year earlier to ¥1,364.2 billion, and core operating income fell 35.7% to ¥67.0 billion. Operating income declined 63.6% to ¥36.2 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent declined by 62.8% to ¥27.9 billion as a U.S. subsidiary recorded an impairment loss.
Financial performance by segment is described below.
Financial Performance by Segment:
Fibers & Textiles
The segment was affected by the stagnation in production activities and consumption behavior caused by the COVID-19 in Japan and overseas. In the apparel applications, demand declined due to lockdown and excessive channel inventory in various countries, while in industrial applications, general purpose materials remained weak and sales volume declined. Demand for nonwoven fabrics increased for the applications of medical gowns and masks and there were signs of recovery in the automotive applications in the third quarter, but these factors fell short of offsetting the decline in the overall sales volume in the segment.
As a result, revenue of overall Fibers & Textiles segment declined 16.4% to ¥536.3 billion compared with the same period a year earlier and core operating income fell 41.7% to ¥28.0 billion.
Performance Chemicals
The resins business was affected by the stagnation in production activities caused by the COVID-19, but demand was strong in the third quarter with automobile manufacturers operating and the recovery of the Chinese economy. The chemicals business saw a recovery trend in the basic chemicals market. In the films business, battery separator films for lithium-ion secondary batteries were affected by lower market
