Overview of financial results

In the fiscal year under review, despite a gradual recovery trend, the outlook for the global economy remained uncertain due to heightened geopolitical risks and U.S. trade policies. Under these circumstances, the overall Japanese economy continued to recover moderately, reflecting signs of a pick-up in personal consumption and capital investment. In India, the economy was supported by both fiscal and monetary policies, and domestic demand-led steady growth, centered on personal consumption and capital investment, continued. In Europe, the economy maintained its resilience, mainly in personal consumption, but exports slowed due to the effects of tariff policies with the U.S. and production activities were pushed down. In China, the economy was stagnant due to trade problems between the U.S. and China and the stagnant real estate market.

The Group's net sales for the third quarter of the current fiscal year were 442,418 million yen (down 0.5% year on year). Operating profit was 39,021 million yen (down 0.6% year on year) mainly due to increased fixed costs, despite the promotion of measures to improve selling prices and reduce costs. Ordinary profit was 45,387 million yen (up 8.6% year on year) mainly due to the increase in foreign exchange gains. Profit attributable to owners of parent was 29,982 million yen (down 8.9% year on year) reflecting the absence of the impact of one-time extraordinary gains recorded in the previous year.

Segment overviews are as follows.

In the automotive coatings sector, although the number of automobiles manufactured fell below compared to the previous year, net sales increased from the previous year due to efforts to improve selling prices. Also, in the industrial coatings sector, net sales increased from the previous year due to the success of sales promotion activities. Meanwhile, in the decorative coatings and protective coatings sector, net sales fell below the previous year due to sluggish market conditions. In the marine sector, although overall performance remained steady, net sales fell below the previous year’s levels due to a recent decline in demand. Segment profit decreased from the previous year, mainly due to higher profit in the automotive coatings and industrial coatings sector and lower profit in the decorative coatings and marine sector.

As a result of those factors, the segment’s net sales and segment profit were 121,876 million yen (down 2.0% year on year) and 17,210 million yen (down 1.0% year on year), respectively.

In the decorative coatings sector, net sales fell below the previous year due to sluggish overall market demand and the shift to lower-priced products. In the automotive coatings sector, net sales were higher than the previous year due to an increase in the number of automobiles manufactured, partly driven by tax cuts. However, overall net sales in India fell below the previous year due to the impact of foreign currency translation caused by the appreciation of the yen. Segment profit decreased from the previous year due to a decrease in sales and an increase in personnel expenses.

As a result of those factors, the segment’s net sales and segment profit were 104,654 million yen (down 4.8% year on year) and 10,743 million yen (down 7.5% year on year), respectively.

In Turkey, net sales fell below the previous year due to the impact of foreign currency translation caused by the depreciation of the Turkish lira, despite an increase in the number of automobiles manufactured by major customers compared to the previous year. In other European countries, net sales increased from the previous year, partly due to the contribution of bolt-on M&A conducted in the previous year. As a

result, overall net sales in Europe increased from the previous year. Segment profit increased from the previous year due to stable raw material prices and an improvement in share of loss of entities accounted for using equity method.

As a result of those factors, the segment’s net sales and segment profit were 122,376 million yen (up 3.5% year on year) and 1,314 million yen (97 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year), respectively.

In China, the number of automobiles manufactured increased from the previous year, and net sales increased from the previous year. Meanwhile, in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, the number of automobiles manufactured declined. As a result, overall net sales in Asia fell below the previous year. Segment profit increased from the previous year due to improved profitability resulting from efforts to reduce total costs.

As a result of those factors, the segment’s net sales and segment profit were 50,343 million yen (down 1.1% year on year) and 8,126 million yen (up 7.2% year on year), respectively.

In South Africa and neighboring countries, net sales increased from the previous year, partly due to the contribution from the acquisition of new customers in the decorative coatings sector, despite the continued political instability. In East Africa, net sales were firm in the industrial coatings sector as well as in the mainstay decorative coatings sector. Segment profit increased from the previous year due to the expansion of the decorative coatings sector business and progress in structural reforms.

As a result of those factors, the segment’s net sales and segment profit were 36,354 million yen (up 8.3% year on year) and 4,048 million yen (up 43.9% year on year), respectively.

In North America, the number of automobiles manufactured was lower than the previous year, and net sales fell below the previous year. Segment profit decreased from the previous year due to the impact of lower sales and a decrease in share of profit of entities accounted for using equity method.

As a result of those factors, the segment’s net sales and segment profit were 6,813 million yen (down 13.2% year on year) and 1,493 million yen (down 46.9% year on year).
