  1. ‌Overview of Operating Results, Etc.
    1. ‌Overview of Operating Results During the Period

      During the fiscal year under review (hereinafter "the period"), the Japanese economy was on a moderate recovery track, with improvements mainly in lease-related businesses, backed by companies' aggressive capital investment, and steady growth mainly in consumer-related areas, driven by the recovery of personal consumption. Looking overseas, in the Chinese economy, while overseas demand continued to grow with the expansion of exports to Asia, the EU and Africa, offsetting the decrease in exports to the U.S., domestic demand had personal consumption and investment that remained stagnant. Therefore, the overall economy was at a standstill. Regarding the European economy, the Eurozone as a whole is recovering with expanding government expenditures mainly in national defense and strong personal consumption. In the UK, both domestic and external demand remain sluggish due to weak employment and income environment, pressuring households' budgets. In the U.S. economy, the polarization of business sentiment progress since the non-manufacturing sector is showing steady trends while the manufacturing sector is experiencing a prolonged slump. Driven by capital expenditures form demand for AI, the economy remains strong. In this way, although the global economy is showing signs of recovery, the situation remains uncertain, as each country faces energy supply risks amid rising military tension in the Middle East.

      With regard to automobile manufacturers, which are the main customers of Nifco Inc. (the "Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group"), in the Japanese market, both production volume and sales volume slightly decreased year on year in the period. In overseas markets, production volume decreased year on year in Europe and Korea, while sales volume increased slightly during the period. In the U.S., both production volume and sales volume decreased significantly year on year, while both production volume and sales volume resulted in a significant year-on-year increase in China and India.

      Under this business environment, net sales for the period amounted to 352,650 million yen, down 0.1% year on year. In terms of profits, operating profit decreased 2.3% year on year to 48,078 million yen, due to the impact of rising prices and labor costs, despite active initiatives in various areas to reduce controllable expense. Ordinary profit decreased 1.7% year on year to 51,275 million yen. As for extraordinary income and losses, 1,115 million yen was recorded as extraordinary losses, mainly due to the recording of impairment losses, but 1,196 million yen was recorded as extraordinary income, due to gain on sale of non-current assets. As a result, profit attributable to owners of parent decreased 23.9% year on year to 34,079 million yen.

      Recognition, analysis and discussion of operating results by segment are as follows. Net sales in each segment are to external customers.

      1. Industrial plastic parts & components [For the domestic automobile industry]

        For automotive production in Japan, the Company's sales declined, affected by a series of production cuts and stops due to China's restrictions on rare earth exports, natural disasters, the postponement of the launch of new car models, the situation in the Middle East, etc. However, the full-year sales total exceeded the plan due to factors such as contributions from mold sales associated with the launch of new vehicles, compensation for electric power charges, and price pass-through on material and labor cost increases.

        [For the overseas automobile industry]

        Overseas, business for Korean OEMs remained strong. Business for Japanese OEMs also maintained its net sales and achieved a steady profit growth despite the impact of the additional U.S. tariff. In addition, business for ASEAN countries, mainly India and Indonesia, remained robust. The consolidation of plants in Thailand was also implemented. Overseas business as a whole successfully

        increased net sales and profit. However, in China, Japanese OEMs continuously struggled due to sluggish sales, resulting in a decrease in net sales and profit year on year, while securing net sales and profit exceeded the plan through the execution of optimization. In Europe, profit declined due to a decrease in net sales resulting from the postponement of new car models in the UK, but it ended with a profit increase after optimization. We aim to further boost profitability by strengthening capital investment in Japanese and Korean OEM business in North America and India, and increasing the value of the product installed per vehicle.

        [For other industries]

        In the housing and living sector, during the period, the number of new housing starts reached the lowest level in 61 years, and demand for housing-related components supplied by the Group dropped significantly, resulting in a year-on-year decline in net sales. Meanwhile, in the sports and outdoor sector, net sales and profit increased because Chinese sport brands expanded their adoption of our products and shifted to a more profitable product structure and profitability improved.

        As a result of the above, net sales in the industrial plastic parts & components business decreased 0.1% from the previous fiscal year to 315,691 million yen. Segment profit decreased 2.8% year on year to 47,663 million yen.

      2. Bedding & furniture

        Domestically, although sales to hotels and exports increased, sales to retailers struggled. In addition, due to the impact of the rent increase associated with the opening of the Yokohama Gallery in April, etc., both net sales and profits declined. On the other hand, overseas, sales to the hotel sector in Hong Kong declined sharply, affected by the backlash from the hotel's special procurement driven by the introduction of waste disposal charges last year. Singapore demonstrated sluggish wholesale sales.

        However, in China, both retail and wholesale sales to the hotel sector were strong, as the Central Government's consumption-stimulation initiative, implemented in August 2024, was extended to September 2025. Operations at the plants in Thailand, established last fiscal year, began stabilizing. Consequently, both net sales and profit rose. As a result, net sales in the bedding & furniture business decreased 0.4% year on year to 36,958 million yen. Segment profit increased 0.1% year on year to 5,970 million yen.

      Assets as of March 31, 2026 stood at 393,590 million yen, an increase of 13,774 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors for the increase were a 7,336 million yen increase in buildings and structures and a 2,649 million yen increase in machinery, equipment and vehicles and a 2,389 million yen increase in cash and deposits

      Liabilities as of March 31, 2026 stood at 94,018 million yen, a decrease of 7,072 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors for the decrease were decreases of 4,357 million yen in notes and accounts payable - trade, and 10,000 million yen in current portion of bonds payable, despite an increase of 3,121 million yen in income taxes payable.

      Net assets as of March 31, 2026 stood at 299,571 million yen, an increase of 20,846 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The increase in net assets was mainly due to an increase of 25,993 million yen in retained earnings and an increase of 3,988 million yen in foreign currency translation adjustment due to yen depreciation, despite an increase of 9,300 million yen in treasury shares. As a result, equity ratio was 75.3% and net assets per share was 3,183.40 yen.

    3. ‌Overview of Cash Flows During the Period

      (Cash flows from operating activities)

      Net cash provided by operating activities during the period totaled 47,163 million yen, a decrease of 7,054 million yen while increase of 54,217 million yen provided in the previous year. This was mainly due to decline in decrease (increase) in trade receivables and decline in increase (decrease) in trade payables.

      (Cash flows from investing activities)

      Net cash used in investing activities totaled 18,130 million yen, an increase of 5,760 million yen from 23,891 million yen used in the previous year. This was mainly due to payments for sale of shares of subsidiaries resulting in the changes in the scope of consolidation in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

      (Cash flows from financing activities)

      Net cash used in financing activities totaled 31,355 million yen, an increase of 3,798 million yen from 35,154 million yen used in the previous year. This was mainly due to decreases in repayments of longterm borrowings and purchase of treasury shares.

      As a result, cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 increased 562 million yen from the end of the previous period to 141,659 million yen.

      • All indicators are calculated based on consolidated financial figures.

      • Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the closing share price at the end of the period by the number of issued shares (less treasury shares) at the end of the period.

      • Cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows are used for cash flows. Interest-bearing debt includes all liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for which interest is paid. For interest payments, interest paid in the consolidated statements of cash flows is used.

    4. ‌Future Outlook

      It remains difficult to forecast future automobile production due to changes in regional demand trends and market conditions. Furthermore, ongoing geopolitical risks, elevated raw material and logistics costs and rising labor expenses are putting earnings under pressure. Additionally, uncertain remains due to factors such as China's continued economic slowdown, increasing uncertainty in the Middle East situation and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

      Despite this challenging environment, the Company will strive to improve profits by maintaining rigorous management of fixed costs and production improvement activities. Based on the above, financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, are forecast to be as follows: net sales of

      367.0 billion yen, operating profit of 50.8 billion yen, ordinary profit of 50.0 billion yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent of 34.0 billion yen.

      The foreign exchange rates assumed in this performance outlook are 1 USD = ¥153.

      *Notes regarding the use of earnings forecasts

      Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and beliefs by the Company's management in light of the information currently available to it and involve potential risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ greatly from these forward-looking statements due to changes in various factors.

    5. ‌Basic Policy on Profit Distribution and Dividends for the Current and Next Periods

    The Company strives to promote a dividend policy linked to business performance while maintaining a basic policy of continuous stable dividends.

    The Company plans to pay the dividend of 70 yen per share at the end of the current fiscal year. As a result, together with the interim dividend of 40 yen per share paid on November 28, 2025, the annual dividend per share will be 110 per share.

    For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, the Company plans to pay an interim dividend of 56 yen per share and a year-end dividend of 28 yen per share (after taking into account the stock split) (Note 1).

    When converted on a pre-stock-split basis, the year-end dividend would be 56 yen per share and the total annual dividend would be 112 yen per share.

    Note 1: At the Board of Directors meeting held on May 14, 2026, it was resolved to conduct a stock split at a ratio of 2 shares for each common share, with September 30, 2026 as the record date and October 1, 2026 as the effective date.
