Business Results Breakdown (YoY Comparison)

• The Japanese economy continues to show a moderate recovery trend, with stable employment and income

conditions.

The outlook for the global economy is uncertain due to factors such as sluggish growth in domestic demand in

China and the deteriorating of the situation in the Middle East.

• Overall sales remained sluggish, resulting in a decline in net sales. Although gross profit increased due to improved profitability, operating profit declined due to the inability to absorb an increase in SG&A expenses, including increased personnel and system-related costs. Income taxes decreased due to the dissolution and debt forgiveness of a consolidated subsidiary, resulting in an increase in net profit attributable to owners of parent.
