1. Qualitative Information on Financial Results

(1) Explanation of Business Results

During the nine months of the fiscal year, while Asian economies, especially China, have been recovering steadily since the lifting of lockdown against the coronavirus, supply shortages and price hikes of food, resources, and other commodities in Europe and the United States due to prolonged war and economic sanctions have become significant downside factors for the global economy. Furthermore, the trend of yen depreciation, which has not been halted by the increase in the U.S. policy interest rate and the widening interest rate differential between Japan and the U.S., is restraining the recovery of consumption and slowing the pace of global economic recovery.

Under these circumstances, sales for the nine months of the fiscal year increased 14.1% year-on-year to 58,409 million yen, contribution with a steady increase in EV production, demand for machine tools, price pass-through of surging raw material and utility costs, and the continued effect of the yen's rapid depreciation. Operating profit decreased 50.5% year-on-year to 2,662 million yen, due to expenses of 2.3 billion yen incurred in the second quarter for business restructuring of the roller business in Europe, and price hikes in raw materials, utilities and other costs that were not passed on to customers, despite the increase in sales and cost improvements. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased 55.4% year-on-year to 1,494 million yen.

We will continue to take effective measures to improve our business performance as soon as possible, focusing on cost improvement and promotion of growth strategies.

The segment performance is as follows. Precision Components Business

Sales in the segment increased 14.7% year-on-year to 54,387 million yen, mainly due to continued growth in demand for ceramic balls for machine tools and EVs, as well as for steel balls in Asia.

Segment profit (operating profit) decreased 50.0% year-on-year to 2,421 million yen, reflecting expenses of 2.3 billion yen for business restructuring of the roller business in Europe.

Linear Business

Sales in the segment increased 6.6% year-on-year to 4,021 million yen due to stable demand for machine tools. Segment profit (operating profit) decreased 56.9% year-on-year to 225 million yen due to the impact of the product mix and soaring prices of raw materials and other items.

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

Total assets at the end of the third quarter increased by 22,019 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 179,193 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase of 5,226 million yen in trade and other receivables and 8,198 million yen in inventories, while a decrease of 7,692 million yen in cash and cash equivalents caused current assets to increase by 6,982 million yen. Non-current assets increased by 15,037 million yen mainly due to increases in property, plant and equipment by 5,200 million yen, intangible assets and goodwill by 4,556 million yen, and other non-current assets by 5,374 million yen, attributable to the depreciation of the yen.

Liabilities increased by 10,120 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 113,925 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase in trade and other payables, other current liabilities, and bonds and borrowings, excluding current portion due to the depreciation of the yen.

Equity increased by 11,899 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 65,268 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase of 12,076 in accumulated other comprehensive income, reflecting the appreciation of the US dollar and the Euro since the end of the previous fiscal year.

(Analysis of Status of Cash Flows)

The cash flow status and factors for each activity during the nine months of the fiscal year are as follows.

Net cash used by operating activities was 3,791 million yen due to an increase in trade and other receivables and inventories.

Net cash used in investing activities was 3,963 million yen, mainly due to the payments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was 1,295 million yen, mainly due to cash dividends paid and payments for acquisition of treasury stock. After adding the foreign currency translation adjustments of 1,357 million yen, mainly due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and Euro during the period, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled 24,832 million yen, a decrease of 7,692 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.
