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

      Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by 0.9% to ¥29,092 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, core operating profit increased by 3.0% to ¥2,018 million, operating profit increased by 66.6% to ¥3,818 million, profit before tax increased by 27.3% to 3,636 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 37.2% to ¥2,652 million.

      The operating results for the three months ended June 30, 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™) increased due to an increase in the number of models adopting to the Company's products.

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

      In addition, overall overseas revenue decreased due to stronger yen, although it increased on a local currency basis.

      As a result, revenue decreased by 2.1% to ¥14,626 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. On the other hand, segment profit increased by 4.2% to ¥1,178 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year due to cost reduction activities.

      Industrial Products

      Regarding industrial power transmission belts, sales of power transmission belts for industrial machinery decreased 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. Sales of power transmission belts for agricultural machinery decreased in Asia.

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

      As a result, revenue decreased by 1.7% to ¥9,495 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. On the other hand, segment profit increased by 5.3% to ¥706 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year due to changes in sales mix.

      Advanced Elastomer Products

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

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

      As a result, revenue increased by 0.9% to ¥3,595 million and segment profit increased by 86.1% to ¥78 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

      Other

      Other segment includes the robotics-related devices, electronic products, and medical equipment businesses. Revenue increased by 18.2% to ¥1,553 million and segment profit decreased by 91.0% to ¥7 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

      The above revenue and profit by segment were the amount before the elimination of intersegment transactions.

    2. Explanation of Financial Position

      Total assets as of June 30, 2025 decreased by ¥3,817 million to ¥116,876 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets, and investment accounted for using equity method.

      Total liabilities decreased by ¥4,356 million to ¥33,835 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was a decrease in borrowings.

      Total equity increased by ¥539 million to ¥83,040 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was an increase in retained earnings while the Company acquired treasury shares.

      As a result, the ratio of equity attributable to owners of parent to total assets was 70.9%, compared with 68.0% at the end of the previous fiscal year.

    3. Explanation of Cash Flows

      Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 decreased by ¥2,374 million to ¥15,341 million compared with the beginning of the fiscal year. The summary of cash flows and major factors were as follows:

      (Cash flows from operating activities)

      Net cash provided by operating activities increased by ¥2,121 million to ¥5,307 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was an increase in income from operations after adjustments for non-cash items from profit before tax.

      (Cash flows from investing activities)

      Net cash used in investing activities decreased by ¥888 million to ¥323 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was proceeds from withdrawals of term deposits exceeded payments into term deposits.

      (Cash flows from financing activities)

      Net cash used in financing activities increased by ¥2,573 million to ¥7,194 million compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. The main reason was an increase in repayments of borrowings.
