C. Uyemura & Co., Ltd. (4966) Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2022

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

For the first half of the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2022 (hereinafter "the period under review"), the Japanese economy saw some signs of recovery with the gradual resumption of economic activities amid the lingering impact of the pandemic. However, the situation remained unstable due to the resurgence of COVID-19 caused by the spread of its variants. Despite an expected pickup in economy along with an increase in the vaccination rate, the outlook for the Japanese economy remains uncertain because it is not predictable when COVID-19 infection will be contained.

In the electronic device market, which is the Uyemura Group's main market area, demand for servers remained solid backed by the commercialization of the 5G (5th generation mobile communication system) related technologies and the wider spread of telework. In the car electronics segment, the production of automobiles and other products was affected by the shortage of semiconductors although the production of semiconductors themselves continued for the supply-demand balance to improve.

In this environment, the Group has focused on the development of high value-added products, and proposal and sales activities for these products to make the operations more profitable.

As a result, consolidated sales for the period under review were 33,027 million yen (up 25.5% year-over-year), operating profit 6,226 million yen (up 63.9%), ordinary profit 6,559 million yen (up 63.9%), and profit attributable to owners of parent 4,543 million yen (up 55.6%). Due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020), net sales increased by 440 million yen, and operating profit and ordinary profit increased by 125 million yen each.

The results of operations by business segment are shown as below.

1) Surface finishing materials business

Both segment sales and profit of mainstay plating chemicals for printed wiring boards (PWBs) and package PWBs saw year-over-year increases thanks to an increase in 5G and semiconductor market demand.

Consequently, sales in the surface finishing materials business increased 39.1% year-over-year to 27,464 million yen and segment profit increased 59.6% year-over-year to 5,636 million yen.

2) Surface finishing machinery business

Segment sales of the surface finishing machinery business decreased year-over-year because of a decline in sales of general-purpose surface finishing machinery although demand for semiconductors and electronic components remained firm.

Consequently, sales in the surface finishing machinery business decreased 33.2% year-over-year to 2,808 million yen and segment profit increased 30.2% year-over-year to 293 million yen. Due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, net sales increased by 440 million yen and segment profit increased by 125 million yen.

3) Plating job business

Both segment sales and profit of the plating job business increased year-over-year. The business environment remained challenging with the persistent slowdown of the automotive industry in Thailand an d Indonesia due to the spread of COVID-19. Meanwhile, plating job operations for PWBs in Taiwan continued to show strong performance.

Consequently, sales in the plating job business increased 17.8% year-over-year to 2,328 million yen and segment profit was 35 million yen (compared with segment loss of 191 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

4) Real estate rental business

Both segment sales and profit of the real estate rental business increased year-over-year thanks to the rent revision for an office building for rent in Shin-Osaka.

Consequently, sales in the real estate rental business increased 3. 4% year-over-year to 418 million yen and segment profit increased 10.6% year-over-year to 253 million yen.

It is noted that sales of the segments above include intersegment sales and transfers.

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

1) Changes in financial position

Total assets increased 5,482 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 90,587 million yen at the end of the period under review.

Total liabilities increased 2,683 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 18,315 million yen. This was primarily attributable to a 395 million yen increase in electronically recorded obligations-operating, a 278 million yen increase in deferred tax liabilities, a 272 million yen increase in notes and accounts payable-trade, and a 255 million yen increase in long-term accounts payable-other, which were partially offset by a 404 million yen decrease in income taxes payable.
