      Note: Core operating profit is calculated as revenue subtracted by cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

      Revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 increased by 6.8% to ¥115,593 million compared with the previous fiscal year, core operating profit increased by 2.1% to ¥7,743 million, operating profit decreased by 55.2% to ¥3,480 million as impairment losses such as that related to a consolidated subsidiary were recorded, and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by 75.8% to ¥1,496 million.

      The operating results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 by business segment were as follows:

      Automotive Parts

      In Japan, although automobile production volume decreased, sales of accessory drive power transmission belts (such as RIBACE ™) and accessory drive power transmission system goods (such as Auto-Tensioner) increased due to increase in the number of models adopting to the Company's products.

      Overseas, in the U.S. sales of products for aftermarket industries increased. In China and Asia, sales of variable speed belts for scooters, etc. increased as production by motorcycle manufacturers was recovering.

      As a result, revenue increased by 9.0% to ¥58,056 million compared with the previous fiscal year, and segment profit increased by 19.1% to ¥4,897 million.

      Industrial Products

      Regarding industrial power transmission belts, sales of power transmission belts for industrial machinery shifted the same level as the previous year in Japan. Overseas, sales of power transmission belts for industrial machinery increased in the U.S. and Europe, sales of power transmission belts for agricultural machinery increased in China and Asia.

      For conveyor belts, sales of light-duty conveyor belts (such as SUNLINE™ belt) increased in Japan. On the other hand, sales of heavy-duty conveyor belts decreased.

      As a result, revenue increased by 3.9% to ¥38,100 million compared with the previous fiscal year. However, segment profit decreased by 27.2% to ¥2,541 million due to changes in sales mixes and an increase in costs such as raw material costs.

      Advanced Elastomer Products

      Regarding films products, sales of films for construction materials and decorative display films increased.

      For precision parts, sales of precision belts increased. However, sales of high-performance rollers and cleaning blades decreased.

      As a result, revenue increased by 3.2% to ¥14,216 million compared with the previous fiscal year. Segment loss was ¥15 million compared with ¥151 million of segment loss for the previous fiscal year.

      Other

      Other segment mainly includes robotics-related devices, electronic products, and medical equipment businesses. Revenue increased by 13.9% to ¥6,095 million compared with the previous fiscal year. Segment profit increased by 306.2% to ¥296 million compared with the previous fiscal year.

      The above revenues by segment and segment profit or loss were the amount before the elimination of intersegment transactions.

    2. Overview of Financial Position

      Total assets as of March 31, 2025, decreased by ¥4,928 million to ¥120,693 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was a decrease in property, plant and equipment and goodwill.

      Total liabilities decreased by ¥1,919 million to ¥38,191 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was a decrease in trade and other payables, borrowings and income taxes payable.

      Total equity decreased by ¥3,009 million to ¥82,501 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was a decrease in retained earnings in addition to purchase of treasury shares.

      As a result, the ratio of equity attributable to owners of parent to total assets was 68.0%, compared with 67.8% at the end of the previous fiscal year.

    3. Overview of Cash Flows

      Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 decreased by ¥219 million to ¥17,715 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The summary of cash flows and major factors were as follows:

      (Cash flows from operating activities)

      Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by ¥3,297 million to ¥10,762 million compared with the previous fiscal year. The main reason was an increase in increase in working capital such as inventories and income taxes paid.

      (Cash flows from investing activities)

      Net cash used in investing activities decreased by ¥550 million to ¥4,186 million compared with the previous fiscal year. The main reason was an increase in proceeds from sale of equity instruments.

      (Cash flows from financing activities)

      Net cash used in financing activities decreased by ¥2,051 million to ¥6,908 million compared with the previous fiscal year. The main reason was a decrease in repayments of borrowings while total shareholder returns increased.

    4. Forecast for the Next Fiscal Year

    Revenue for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 is expected to decrease by 0.5% to ¥115,000 million compared with the previous fiscal year, core operating profit is expected to increase by 5.9% to ¥8,200 million, operating profit by 172.9% to ¥9,500 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent by 347.7% to ¥6,700 million.

  5. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Going Concern Assumption)

None

(Impairment of Non-financial Assets)

The Group assesses for impairment of assets by each cash-generating unit, which is the smallest identifiable group asset that generates largely independent cash flows. As a result of impairment assessment, if the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, and the Group records impairment losses as "Other expenses" on consolidated statements of income.

Assets that the Group recorded impairment losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 are as follows.

In the Automotive Parts Business, the Group recorded an impairment loss of ¥850 million as business restructuring expenses due to the decision to terminate production at Bando USA, Inc. The recoverable amount was measured based on value in use, which was assumed as zero. The disclosure of discount rate is omitted as the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were negative.

The Group recorded an impairment loss of ¥1,604 million for certain assets in the Advanced Elastomer Products Business, due to identifying impairment indicators by decrease in its profitability. The recoverable amount was measured based on value in use or fair value less costs of disposal. The value in use was assumed as zero. The disclosure of discount rate is omitted as the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were negative. For fair value less costs of disposal, its fair value hierarchy was level 3.

In the Other segment, the Group recorded an impairment loss of ¥3,406 million as a result of assessing for impairment of goodwill related to acquisition of shares of Aimedic MMT Co., Ltd. ("AIM"), a consolidated subsidiary, based on AIM's latest business plan. The recoverable amount was measured based on value in use. The pre-tax discount rate used to calculate its value in use was 11.7%.

In addition, the Group recorded an impairment loss of ¥81 million due to identifying impairment indicators such as a decrease in its profitability for certain assets in each segment. The recoverable amount was measured based on value in use, which was assumed as zero. The disclosure of discount rate is omitted as the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were negative.
