1. Overview of Business Results, etc.

(1) Overview of Business Results for the Current Quarter under Review

In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Japanese economy experienced a gradual recovery trend due to improvements in employment and income environment, with implementation of pay increase by many companies. Meanwhile, there remains a risk that a downturn in overseas economies, such as the impact of continuing high interest rates in Europe and the U.S. and concerns about the future of the Chinese economy, will put downward pressure on the economy.

With regard to the business environment surrounding the Nichireki Group (hereinafter referred to as the "Group"), levels of public investment were steady as a whole against the backdrop of growing construction demand for preventing and mitigating disasters, national resilience measures, etc. However, there is a need to address the issues of an increase in labor costs due to labor shortages caused by a declining and aging population, as well as long working hours. In addition, raw material prices remain in the high range due to the continuing depreciation of the yen, and consequently a close watch is continuously required on trends in crude oil prices and exchange rates.

In this business environment, the Group has implemented various measures, aiming to grow into a sustainable corporate group with the entire organization working as one under quick and accurate decision-making as we enter the fourth year of the Medium-term Management Plan "Resilience 2025 (Shinayaka 2025)."

In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Group posted net sales of ¥13,527 million (down 1.0% year on year), operating profit of ¥76 million (down 34.3% year on year), and ordinary profit of ¥164 million (down 69.2% year on year). Profit attributable to owners of the parent company decreased by 81.0% to ¥54 million.

Results by business segment were as follows.

Applied and Processed Asphalt Products Business

In the Applied and Processed Asphalt Products Business, we worked on increasing sales by further strengthening design and marketing activities for high value-added products aiming for "longer life and higher performance of paved roads" and "reduction of environmental load," in addition to coping with raw material prices that continued to remain in the high range.

Net sales for the segment were ¥5,475 million (down 1.1% year on year) and segment profit was ¥841 million (down 6.6% year on year) in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Road Paving Business

In the Road Paving Business, we worked on marketing activities by providing proposals on construction methods related to preventing and mitigating disasters and national resilience measures as well as the steady execution of construction work.

Net sales for the segment were ¥7,970 million (down 1.0% year on year) and segment profit was ¥127 million (up 57.2% year on year) in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Other Business

In the Other Business, net sales for the segment were ¥81 million (up 3.6% year on year) and segment profit was ¥59 million (up 1.9% year on year) mainly due to real estate lease revenue.

(2) Overview of Financial Position for the Current Quarter Under Review

Total assets decreased by ¥1,249 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥93,845 million. This is attributable mainly to an increase in construction in progress of ¥4,631 million, despite a decrease in notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets of ¥6,342 million.

Liabilities decreased by ¥107 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥20,150 million. This is attributable mainly to an increase in accounts payable - other of ¥4,197 million, despite a decrease in notes and accounts payable - trade of ¥2,606 million.

Net assets decreased by ¥1,141 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥73,694 million. This is attributable mainly to a decrease in retained earnings of ¥973 million.
