C. Uyemura & Co., Ltd. (4966) Third 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 nine months 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. Also, the outlook for the Japanese economy remains uncertain amid concerns that economic activities may be affected by security issues between the United States and China, surging natural resource prices, and a shortage of semiconductors and other components.

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 51,641 million yen (up 27.6% year-over-year), operating profit 10,154 million yen (up 55.5%), ordinary profit 10,555 million yen (up 55.5%), and profit attributable to owners of parent 7,302 million yen (up 48.5%). Due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, net sales increased by 905 million yen, and operating profit and ordinary profit increased by 106 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 38.8% year -over-year to 43,276 million yen and segment profit increased 58.9% year-over-year to 9,389 million yen.

2) Surface finishing machinery business

Both segment sales and profit of the surface finishing machinery business decreased year -over-year because of a shortage of raw materials and parts as well as a hike in logistics costs, although demand for semiconductors and electronic components remained firm.

Consequently, sales in the surface finishing machinery business decreased 24.5% year -over-year to 4,351 million yen and segment profit decreased 32.7% year-over-year to 349 million yen. Due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, net sales increased by 905 million yen and segment profit increased by 106 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 and 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 15.4% year-over-year to 3,371 million yen and segment profit was 22 million yen (compared with segment loss of 255 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 3.8% year-over-year to 628 million yen and segment profit increased 10.1% year-over-year to 383 million yen.

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

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

Total assets increased 10,224 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 95,330 million yen at the end of the period under review. This was primarily attributable to a 4,530 million yen increase in notes and accounts receivable-trade, and contract assets, a 1,673 million yen increase in land, and a 1,076 million yen increase in merchandise and finished goods, which were partially offset by a 1,006 million yen decrease in cash and deposits and a 366 million yen decrease in buildings and structures, net.

Total liabilities increased 4,590 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 20,221 million yen. This was primarily attributable to a 1,125 million yen increase in electronically recorded obligations-operating and a 496 million yen increase in deferred tax liabilities, which were partially offset by a 752 million yen decrease in income taxes payable and a 193 million yen decrease in provision for retirement benefits for directors (and other officers).

Total net assets increased 5,634 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 75,108 million yen. This was primarily attributable to a 5,764 million yen increase in retained earnings and a 1,829 million yen increase in foreign currency translation adjustment, which were partially offset by a 1,990 million yen increase in treasury shares.

As a result, the equity ratio decreased by 2.8 percentage points from 81.6% at the end of the previous fiscal year to 78.8%.

(3) Explanation of Consolidated Forecast and Other Forward-looking Statements

We have maintained the full-year consolidated forecasts that we announced in the "Notice Regarding the Differences between Consolidated Financial Forecasts and Actual Results for the First Half, and Revisions of Consolidated Financial Forecasts for FY2022" on November 11, 2021.

Actual results may differ from these forecasts due to various factors in the future.
