  1. Overview of Financial Performance

    1. Operating results

      Forward-looking statements below are based on our judgment as of September 30, 2025.

      Business environment

      Japan Lifeline operates in the medical device sector, primarily focusing on cardiac devices for general hospitals in Japan. As Japan's population ages, the demand for medical care is rising, a trend expected to persist. However, the medical care supply is under strain, raising concerns about the sustainability of various medical services. To address this, the government is promoting working-style reform for doctors to reduce the chronic long working hours faced by medical professionals.

      In this competitive environment, it's crucial for us not only to offer effective medical devices but also to help solve broader healthcare sustainability issues. We have been tackling these challenges by leveraging its dual role as both manufacturer and distributor to build a flexible and robust product portfolio.

      Status of business

      For the six months ended September 30, 2025, we saw year-over-year increases across key financial metrics. Net sales increased by 4.6%, gross profit rose by 3.5%, operating profit grew by 5.7%, and net income attributable to owners of the parent increased by 7.7%. The business environment has been undergoing substantial changes, including the revision of

      reimbursement prices in June 2024 and the rapid adoption of Pulsed Field Ablation ("PFA"), a new treatment for atrial fibrillation advanced by our competitors. Amid this situation, we steadily promoted continuously introducing competitive products and expanding new therapeutic areas, key initiatives in the medium-term management plan (from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028). As a result, business performance progressed largely in line with the initial guidance.

      Our core businesses EP/Ablation and Cardiovascular performed well, with sales up 4.1% and 5.0% year-over-year, respectively, driven by the growth in core products. Specifically, in EP/Ablation, sales of intracardiac defibrillation catheters were strong against the backdrop of an increase in atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. In addition, hemostatic devices for femoral vein experienced a smooth progress in expanding facility adoption. In Cardiovascular, the Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) remained solid due to market expansion.

      The sales volume of new therapeutic areas within high-growth businesses increased driven by a broader product lineup, with Neurovascular sales up 48.4% and Gastrointestinal up 15.7%*1year-over-year.

      Cardiac Rhythm Management, positioned as a stable business, posted a 0.9% year-over-year decrease in sales, mainly

      reflecting a decline in the company's market share due to weaker pacemaker sales.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 234 million yen year-over-year due to factors including higher personnel and research and development expenses, partially offset by reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts due to the partial collection of bad debts. Nevertheless, the higher sales volume absorbed the impact of the increased expenses. As a result, operating profit for the period under review increased 359 million yen, with the operating margin of 22.6%.

      We recognize that volatility in foreign currency exchange rates had a limited impact on our business performance. This is because our third-party product purchases made in yen accounted for approximately 75% of all transactions. Additionally, we use the moving-average method for cost of sales, which smooths out the impact of any temporary increases in procurement costs over time.

      *1 Sales of Gastrointestinal included those from the terminated coronary intervention business; without this business, sales would have increased 25.0% year-over-year.

      1. Net sales

        Net sales were 29,285 million yen, an increase of 4.6% year-over-year. For more details, please refer to the "Sales by product" section later in this report.

      2. Gross profit

        Gross profit was 17,557 million yen, up 3.5% year-over-year. While the decline in sales prices-stemming from the revisions to the reimbursement prices in June 2024-affected results for two months compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, increased sales volume in the core and high-growth businesses offset the impact.

        The gross margin reached 60.0%, a decrease of 60 bps year-over-year due to the decline in sales prices noted above and the deterioration in the product mix. Note that proprietary sales mix fell to 55.1%, a decrease of 250 bps year-over-year.

      3. Operating profit

        We reported operating profit of 6,620 million yen, an increase of 5.7% year-over-year, and operating margin of 22.6% (an increase of 20 bps year-over-year). Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 234 million yen year-over-year. The main reasons for increase/decrease are as follows:

        (Reasons for increase)

        • Higher personnel expenses from salary increases

        • An increase in research and development expenses related to the development of PFA systems and other projects

        • An increase in sales-related expenses due to higher business activity (Reason for decrease)

        • Recognition of reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts due to the partial collection of bad debts (provision of allowance for doubtful accounts from suspended customer transactions was recorded in the previous fiscal year)

      4. Ordinary profit

        Ordinary profit was 6,624 million yen, up 7.4% year-over-year. Non-operating income totaled 95 million yen, including interest income and dividend income. Non-operating expenses of 90 million yen included foreign exchange losses and loss on valuation of investment securities.

      5. Net income attributable to owners of the parent

        Net income attributable to owners of the parent was 4,774 million yen, marking a 7.7% increase year-over-year. The income tax burden was 27.5%, down 70 bps.

        system, ERCP guide wire, colonic stent, gastro duodenal stent, RF needle for liver cancer treatment

        1. Cardiac Rhythm Management

          Net sales in Cardiac Rhythm Management reached 6,666 million yen, a decrease of 0.9% year-over-year. Pacemaker sales were sluggish as leadless competitors gained market share. On the other hand, although slightly affected by competitors' new products, net sales of the core product S-ICD remained strong, supported by steady growth in sales volume. Additionally, the launch of the lead management device of Philips in May 2025 also contributed to this result.

        2. EP/Ablation

          Net sales in EP/Ablation reached 14,707 million yen, an increase of 4.1% year-over-year, marking a record high for the six-month period. Sales volume of the core product intracardiac defibrillation catheter increased, driven by an estimated 10% year-over-year rise in atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. In addition, expansion into new markets for hemostatic devices for femoral vein progressed steadily. On the other hand, some EP catheters, such as esophageal temperature monitoring catheters, saw sluggish sales due to the market penetration of PFA, a new treatment for atrial fibrillation advanced by our competitors.

        3. Cardiovascular

          Net sales in Cardiovascular reached 5,936 million yen, an increase of 5.0% year-over-year. The core product Frozen Elephant Trunk performed well with the high market share maintained, as a result of focusing on targeted sales initiatives, including procedure training programs utilizing the product. The following factors also contributed to the result: (1) the launch of pressure-sensor-equipped guide wire for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) as a new product in the Structural Heart Disease area in the second quarter of the current fiscal year, and (2) the supply of the cell delivery catheter system in regenerative medicine products for Heartseed Inc.

        4. Neurovascular

          Net sales in Neurovascular reached 1,187 million yen, an increase of 48.4% year-over-year. Sales of aspiration catheters were significantly driven by a newly introduced peripheral vascular model. Stent retrievers, fully released in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year, started off stably. Embolic coil sales remained robust, driven by our expanded reach through the introduction of an interventional radiology model.

        5. Gastrointestinal

        Net sales in Gastrointestinal amounted to 787 million yen, an increase of 15.7% year-over-year. Excluding the coronary intervention business, which was terminated in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, adjusted net sales increased 25.0% to 747 million yen. Sales of the bile-duct tube stent were higher than expected on the back of favorable clinical evaluations of the new model introduced in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. Sales of other products, including ERCP guide wires and biliary dilation balloons, were also solid.

    2. Financial position

      Analysis of the interim consolidated balance sheets

      1. Assets

        The balance of current assets as of September 30, 2025 was 44,824 million yen, an increase of 488 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to increases of 604 million yen in notes and accounts receivable - trade and 1,184 million yen in inventories, partially offset by a decrease of 1,384 million yen in cash and deposits, resulting from payments for dividends and income taxes.

        The balance of fixed assets was 30,450 million yen, a decrease of 336 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to decreases of 276 million yen in long-term prepaid expenses and 219 million yen in deferred tax assets included in "Other" under investments and other assets, partially offset by an increase of 288 million yen in leasehold and guarantee deposits in "Other" under investments and other assets.

        As a result, the balance of total assets was 75,274 million yen, an increase of 151 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

      2. Liabilities

        The balance of current liabilities as of September 30, 2025 was 13,577 million yen, a decrease of 756 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was primarily due to decreases of 208 million yen in provisions for bonuses and 180 million yen in accrued expenses included in "Other."

        The balance of long-term liabilities was 719 million yen, a decrease of 154 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to decreases of 85 million yen in provision for director's stock based compensation and 34 million yen in long-term accounts payable - other included in "Other."

        As a result, the balance of total liabilities was 14,297 million yen, a decrease of 911 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

      3. Net assets

        The balance of net assets as of September 30, 2025 was 60,977 million yen, an increase of 1,063 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to dividend payments of 3,722 million yen, partially offset by the recording of net income attributable to owners of the parent of 4,774 million yen.

        Analysis of the interim consolidated statements of cash flows

        The balance of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 amounted to 9,630 million yen, a decrease of 1,384 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Cash flows for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 by activities were as follows.

        1. Cash flow from operating activities

          Net cash provided by operating activities was 3,495 million yen (for the first six months of the previous fiscal year, net cash provided by operating activities was 2,938 million yen). The main factors are profit before income taxes of 6,582 million yen, despite an increase in trade notes and accounts receivable of 606 million yen, an increase in inventories of 1,187 million yen, and income taxes paid of 1,543 million yen, which decreased cash flows.

        2. Cash flows from investing activities

          Net cash used in investing activities was 1,023 million yen (for the first six months of the previous fiscal year, net cash used in investing activities was 424 million yen), mainly due to purchase of property, plant and equipment of 672 million yen.

        3. Cash flows from financing activities

        Net cash used in financing activities was 3,880 million yen (for the first six months of the previous fiscal year, net cash used in financing activities was 7,187 million yen), mainly due to dividends paid of 3,718 million yen.

    3. Consolidated financial guidance

      Our performance for the six months ended September 30, 2025 progressed steadily, almost in line with initial guidance. In Cardiac Rhythm Management and Gastrointestinal, performance showed slightly slower progress than initially expected, but this was offset by strong performance in Neurovascular and Cardiovascular. In EP/Ablation, the market penetration of PFA

      resulted in a more severe decline in sales of some products than expected. However, overall performance remained strong as sales of core products including intracardiac defibrillation catheters and hemostatic devices for femoral vein exceeded expectations.

      We anticipate sales will continue steadily into the second half and beyond. Expenditure is also expected to remain broadly aligned with planned allocations. Therefore, as of today, the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, as announced on May 7, 2025, remains unchanged. Should any revisions become necessary, we will promptly disclose them.
