Qualitative Information on Operating Results, etc.
Operating Results
Overview
In the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the global economy as a whole maintained steady growth, but the outlook remained uncertain due to the impact of U.S. tariff policies, geopolitical risks, and fluctuations in financial markets.
In this economic environment, the GS Yuasa Group's consolidated net sales for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 totaled ¥272,151 million, up ¥7,645 million or 2.9%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This increase in Group sales reflects an increase in sales of industrial batteries and power supplies, automotive lithium-ion batteries, and automotive batteries-Japan. In line with this, operating profit came to ¥18,722 million (operating profit before amortization of goodwill came to ¥19,092 million), up ¥2,999 million or 19.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Ordinary profit came to ¥17,283 million, up ¥2,803 million or 19.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in profit at operating profit level. Profit attributable to owners of parent came to ¥10,465 million, up ¥1,056 million or 11.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in gain on sale of non-current assets, despite an increase in income taxes.
Business Segment Results (Automotive Batteries)
Net sales in Japan for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 totaled ¥47,124 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥3,561 million or 8.2%, due to the increase in sales volume, and the measures to revise sales prices. Segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥3,716 million, up ¥366 million or 10.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Overseas net sales totaled ¥123,129 million, a year-on-year decrease of ¥4,377 million or 3.4%, due to the effect of yen appreciation on foreign exchange rate and the decrease in sales volume at the Turkey site, despite the increase in sales volume in Australia and Southeast Asia. Overall automotive batteries segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥9,145 million, down
¥226 million or 2.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
As a result of the above factors, the automotive batteries segment's combined net sales in Japan and overseas in the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 totaled ¥170,254 million, a year-on-year decrease of ¥816 million or 0.5%. Segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥12,862 million, up ¥139 million or 1.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
(Industrial Batteries and Power Supplies)
As a result of large orders received for emergency power supply systems and increased demand for lithium-ion batteries for energy storage systems, net sales in the industrial batteries and power supplies segment totaled ¥50,861 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥4,671 million or 10.1%. In line with this, segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥4,450 million, up ¥529 million or 13.5% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
(Automotive Lithium-ion Batteries)
Net sales in the automotive lithium-ion batteries segment totaled ¥40,449 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥4,126 million or 11.4%, due to an increase in sales volume of lithium-ion batteries for plug-in hybrid vehicles, lithium-ion batteries for hybrid vehicles, etc. Segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥835 million, an increase of ¥2,594 million from the same period of the previous fiscal year, which had been affected by lower sales prices, etc. due to falling raw material market prices.
(Other)
Net sales in the other segment totaled ¥10,586 million, a year-on-year decrease of ¥335 million or 3.1%, due to decline in sales prices of lithium-ion batteries for submarines, etc. Segment profit after adjustments for corporate expenses, etc. (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥944 million, down
¥225 million or 19.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Financial Condition
Total assets amounted to ¥684,472 million, a decrease of ¥9,265 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This mainly reflects a decrease in cash and deposits, as well as the collection of trade receivables, despite an increase in inventories.
Liabilities decreased to ¥286,590 million, down ¥16,160 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This mainly reflects decreases in trade payables, electronically recorded obligations - facilities, borrowings and accounts payable - other, despite an increase in commercial papers.
Net assets totaled ¥397,882 million, an increase of ¥6,895 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This mainly reflects an increase due to the recording of profit attributable to owners of parent and an increase in the foreign currency translation adjustment due to forex rate fluctuations, which outweighed outflows from dividends paid.
[Cash Flows]
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, amounted to ¥35,495 million, a decrease of
¥21,185 million or 37.4%, from the end of the previous fiscal year.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first half of the fiscal year, amounted to ¥14,564 million, compared with net cash provided of ¥5,052 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. There were main contributions from profit before income taxes, depreciation, and the collection of trade receivables, partially offset by an increase in inventories and income taxes paid.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥26,885 million, compared with net cash used of
¥36,694 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The main cash outflow from investments was the purchase of property, plant, and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥10,989 million, compared with net cash provided of ¥19,183 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The main cash outflows were repayments of borrowings and dividends paid.

Notes on the Semi-annual Consolidated Financial Statements
(Use of accounting procedures specific to preparation of semi-annual consolidated financial statements)
(Tax expense calculation)
The Company calculates tax expenses by rationally estimating its effective tax rate after application of tax effect accounting to profit before income taxes for the current fiscal year, which includes the six months ended September 30, 2025, and multiplying profit before income taxes by said estimated effective tax rate. However, in cases where calculations using said estimated effective tax rate yield a result that is notably lacking rationality, tax expenses are calculated using the statutory effective tax rate.

(Additional information)
(Accounting procedures in hyperinflationary economies)
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, since the cumulative three-year inflation rate in Turkey exceeded 100%, the GS Yuasa Group determined that its subsidiary in Turkey, whose functional currency is the Turkish lira, is operating in a hyperinflationary economy. Therefore, the GS Yuasa Group has made accounting adjustments to the financial statements of its Turkish subsidiary in accordance with the requirements set forth in IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" from the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of subsidiaries in a hyperinflationary economy be restated by applying the unit of measurement as of the end of the reporting period before inclusion in the consolidated financial statements. The Group uses conversion factors calculated from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of Turkey published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) for the purpose of adjusting the financial statements of its subsidiary in Turkey.
For the subsidiary in Turkey, non-monetary items such as property, plant, and equipment presented at cost are adjusted using conversion factors based on the acquisition date or the reevaluation date. Monetary and non-monetary items presented at current cost are not adjusted, since they are considered to be presented in the unit of measurement as of the end of the reporting period. The effect of inflation on net monetary items is presented in non-operating income/loss in the consolidated statements of income. The financial statements of the Turkish subsidiary are translated into Japanese yen at the spot rate prevailing on the last day of the quarter and reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the GS Yuasa Group.
