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.

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.
