(1) Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year under Review

Operating results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Japanese economy showed a moderate recovery supported by the improvement in the employment and income situation, partly due to the effects of various policy initiatives. Meanwhile, the future global economic outlook remains uncertain due to such factors as persistently high interest rates in Europe and the United States, US policy trends, concerns about the Chinese economic outlook, situations in the Middle East, and fluctuations in financial and capital markets. In the renewable energy market in Japan, a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 46% compared to 2013 levels by 2030 has been set based on the Japanese government's declaration of carbon neutrality in 2050. Internationally, there have been further efforts to realize a carbon-free society, including climate change responses in accordance with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) held in 2024 and the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the renewable energy market is expected to grow in the medium to long term.

In the Solar Panel Manufacturing Business, our core business, although demand is strong worldwide, the market environment has been weak due to an oversupply of solar products. In the US market, uncertainty remains over tax policies, as the US government has advanced the consideration of imposing anti-dumping and countervailing duties on four Southeast Asian countries. In response to this business environment, we have implemented new sales strategies in India and Taiwan. At the same time, to drive future earnings growth, we moved forward with the construction of a cell plant in Ethiopia and a panel plant in Texas, the United States. Despite the costs incurred from the prior investment in these new plants, we remained profitable for the fiscal year under review, even as the global solar panel market faced ongoing challenges.

During the fiscal year under review, we changed our fiscal year-end, resulting in an irregular nine-month period for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. As this accounting period differs from the previous consolidated fiscal year, year-on-year changes in amount or percentage are not included in the following explanation of operating results.

As a result of the above, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Abalance Corporation (the "Company," together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") recorded net sales of 72,417 million yen, operating profit of 3,602million yen, ordinary profit of 3,737 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent of 951 million yen.

In the Solar Panel Manufacturing Business, Vietnam Sunergy Joint Stock Company ("VSUN") and TOYO Co., Ltd. ("TOYO") in Vietnam, are collaborating to engage in strengthening the global supply chain. TOYO owns ("TOYO SOLAR"), which manufactures the cells that are the upstream processes of solar panels.

In the Green Energy Business, while continuing with the sale of solar power plants and related equipment (one-time revenue business model), we are working to strengthen our business foundations by promoting company ownership of solar power plants (recurring revenue business model).

The business results for each segment are as follows.

1. Solar Panel Manufacturing Business

Net sales were 64,348 million yen and segment profit was3,489 million yen.

Net sales were maintained at a certain level. Sales to the United States, our main sales destination, declined due to the termination of import duty exemptions for solar panel products (in June 2024), as well as uncertainty over the future of anti-dumping and countervailing duties, resulting in a decrease in orders received. However, sales strategies in India and Taiwan and for other new customers were successful. Meanwhile, operating profit decreased, primarily due to increased prior investment costs for the construction of new plants in Ethiopia and Texas, the United States, and inventory valuation losses at a cell plant in Vietnam. Due to a decline in the utilization rate of the Vietnam plant caused by sluggish sales to the United States, we are making efforts to improve earnings by lowering manufacturing costs, among other initiatives.
