  1. Qualitative information regarding the quarterly financial results
    1. Explanation of operating results

      During the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review, the Japanese economy continued to show signs of gradual recovery, underpinned by improvements in the employment environment and wage increases. However, concerns over U.S. trade policy and prolonged geopolitical risks led to further uncertainty about the future of the global economy. The domestic economy, too, continues to face inflation driven by soaring raw material prices and the weak yen. Consequently, real wages have struggled to grow, resulting in persistently lackluster personal consumption.

      Against this backdrop, the Matsuda Sangyo Group's Precious Metals Business Segment worked to develop and utilize production bases both domestically and overseas, ensure the stable supply of precious metal materials, and boost sales of products as well as expand its industrial waste treatment outsourcing business, based on a strategy of differentiating itself through its comprehensive resource recycling capability and the development of high-performance electronic materials. In addition, the Food Business Segment made maximum use of its global procurement network to source products that meet diversifying customer needs and ensure stable supplies of safe and reliable food products, with the aim of increasing sales volumes.

      As a result of the above, for the cumulative consolidated third quarter, net sales were ¥477,927 million (up 37.1% year on year) and operating profit was ¥14,969 million (up 37.9% year on year). Ordinary profit was ¥15,804 million (up 37.3% year on year) and quarterly profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥11,124 million (up 37.6% year on year).

      The following is a summary of business by segment.

      Precious Metals Business Segment

      In the electronic devices field of the electronics sector, which is the key market for the Precious Metals Business Segment, while production for the EV market has continued to stagnate, robust demand for AI servers and data centers drove overall growth, resulting in overall gradual recovery in the production of semiconductors and electronic components.

      Against this backdrop, the Precious Metals Business Segment recorded year-on-year increases in both net sales and operating profit on the back of an increase in precious metals recycling volume, including from the jewelry sector, as well as the significant rise in the market price of precious metals.

      As a result of the above, net sales for the Precious Metals Business Segment were ¥386,734 million (up 45.3% year on year) and operating profit was ¥12,243 million (up 39.9% year on year).

      Food Business Segment

      In the food production sector, which is the key market for the Food Business Segment, rising prices due to soaring raw material prices have contributed to a stronger trend toward frugality in personal consumption, resulting in a market environment of persistent cautious purchasing attitudes overall.

      Against this backdrop, despite a decrease in the sales volume of seafood products, the Food Business Segment registered an increase in the sales volume of livestock and agricultural products, thanks to flexible product proposals in response to changing consumer needs and efforts to build a stable supply system. Moreover, an increase in selling prices also contributed to a year-on-year increase in net sales and operating profits.

      As a result of the above, net sales for the Food Business Segment were ¥91,227 million (up 10.6% year on year) and operating profit was ¥2,726 million (up 29.5% year on year).

    2. Explanation of financial position (1) Assets, liabilities and net assets status

      Assets:

      Total assets as of the end of the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review were ¥206,328 million, an increase of

      ¥37,428 million from the previous fiscal year end. This was mainly due to increases in notes and accounts receivable-trade and inventories.

      Liabilities:

      Total liabilities as of the end of the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review were ¥101,039 million, an increase of

      ¥32,273 million from the previous fiscal year end. This mainly reflected increases in accounts payable-trade, short-term loans payable, long-term loans payable, and other current liabilities.

      Net assets:

      Net assets as of the end of the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review were ¥105,288 million, an increase of ¥5,154 million from the previous fiscal year end. This mainly reflected the difference between an increase in retained earnings and a decrease in deferred gains or losses on hedges.

      (2)Cash flows status

      As of the end of the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review, the balance of cash and cash equivalents (hereafter, "cash") stood at ¥11,048 million, a decrease of ¥380 million from the previous fiscal year end.

      Cash flows from operating activities:

      Operating activities in the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review used cash of ¥14,057 million. This mainly reflected the difference between an increase in cash from quarterly profit before income taxes, depreciation, and an increase in notes and accounts payable - trade, and a decrease in cash from increases in accounts receivable-trade and inventories, and a decrease in income taxes paid. Compared with the same period in the previous fiscal year, when operating activities used cash of ¥16,631 million, cash from operating activities increased by ¥2,573 million.

      Cash flows from investing activities:

      Investing activities in the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review used cash of ¥2,597 million. This was mainly due to the difference between a decrease in cash for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, such the new installation of factory equipment, and an increase in cash from the repayment of time deposits. Compared with the same period in the previous fiscal year, when investing activities used cash of ¥3,603 million, cash used by investing activities decreased by ¥1,005 million.

      Cash flows from financing activities:

      Financing activities in the cumulative consolidated third quarter under review provided cash of ¥16,457 million. This mainly reflected the difference between an increase in cash from an increase in short-term and long-term loans payable, and a decrease in cash from cash dividends paid. Compared with the same period in the previous fiscal year, when financing activities provided cash of ¥524 million, cash from financing activities increased by ¥15,932 million.
