Qualitative information on consolidated quarterly financial results
Overview of operating results
During the current third cumulative consolidated accounting period, Nisshinbo Group posted net sales of ¥364,568 million (up ¥14,764 million, or 4.2%, year on year), mainly due to higher sales in the Wireless and Communications business and the Real Estate business, despite a decrease in sales in the Micro Devices business.
Operating profit was ¥18,868 million (up ¥14,951 million, or 381.7%, year on year) due to significant increased profit in the Wireless and Communications business and the Real Estate business, despite an increase in losses in the Micro Devices business. Ordinary profit was ¥21,311 million (up ¥12,960 million, or 155.2%, year on year). Profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥13,824 million (up ¥10,871 million, or 368.2% year on year).
The results for the main business segments are as follows. Segment profit or segment loss is based on operating profit or operating loss.
(Wireless and Communications business)
The Wireless and Communications business consists of the Japan Radio Group and the KOKUSAI DENKI Electric Group. First, within the Japan Radio Group, the Solutions and Specialized Equipment business saw increased sales and improved profitability. This was driven by increased orders for prefectural disaster prevention systems due to renewal demand, as well as increased orders for equipment and maintenance materials for the Ministry of Defense, supported by the basic policy of the Defense Capability Development Plan based on national strategy. The Marine Systems business also saw increased sales and profits, driven by strong orders for equipment for new merchant ships, as well as for retrofitting existing merchant ships and aftermarket services such as maintenance. The Mobility business experienced decreased sales and worsened profitability. This was due to reduced orders for repeaters (mobile phone relay equipment) affected by specification changes and project delays, coupled with weak performance in mobile locators for industrial machinery.
Next, within the KOKUSAI DENKI Electric Group, increased sales and profits were achieved due to higher orders driven by customer renewal demand in businesses such as disaster prevention administrative radio systems, fire department radios, radios for the Defense Equipment Agency, and optical transmission equipment (Multi-drop Optical Feeder, MOF) (a system that expands communication coverage to areas within buildings where radio waves are difficult to reach, establishing a communication environment where mobile phones can be used), as well as increased orders for high-performance portable radios for overseas markets.
As a result, the Wireless and Communications business posted net sales of ¥178,352 million (up 6.5% year on year) and segment profit of ¥11,646 million (up 128.6% year on year).
(Micro Devices business)
Sales of consumer equipment/devices remained at the same level as the previous year due to orders for smartphones and amusement-related products. Sales of industrial equipment also remained at the same level as the previous year due to orders for domestic office automation equipment, but orders for automotive industry products declined due to sluggish demand in the EV market and inventory adjustments by customers in the sensor-related business. As a result, the Electronic Devices business saw a decline in sales and an increase in losses.
The Microwave business saw a decline in both revenue and profit, primarily due to sluggish shipments of maintenance parts for electron tubes caused by difficulties in procuring components under rare earth regulations.
As a result, the Micro Devices business posted net sales of ¥44,987 million (down 4.3% year on year) and a segment loss of ¥5,893 million (a loss expansion of ¥1,024 million year on year).
(Material)
・Automobile Brakes
The Japanese base saw an increase in sales and profit due to the stabilization of production cuts caused by issues such as car manufacturer certification irregularities and the recovery of orders. The US base also saw strong orders for Japanese automakers focusing on hybrid vehicles, resulting in increased sales and profit. Korean base saw a decrease
in sales but reduced losses through profitability improvement activities. Sales and profits at the Thailand base were on par with the same period last year.
As a result, the Automobile Brakes business posted net sales of ¥42,650 million (down 1.5% year on year) and segment profit of ¥2,706 million (up 39.3% year on year).
・Precision Instruments
The Precision Components Business achieved sales and profits comparable to the same period last year, despite reduced orders for automotive EBS components at the China facility, due to increased shipments from the India facility and other factors. Within the Molded Products Business, sales of air conditioning-related products were comparable to the same period last year, but profits increased due to cost reductions and other measures. Sales and profits for automotive industry products and medical-related products increased due to strong orders combined with cost reductions.
As a result, the Precision Instruments business posted net sales of ¥40,584 million (up 2.9% year on year) and segment profit of ¥1,936 million (up 145.5% year on year).
・Chemicals
Sales and income in the rigid urethane business decreased due to lower orders for liquid products and rigid blocks. Sales of carbon separators for fuel cells declined and losses widened due to a decrease in orders caused by stagnation in the overall hydrogen market. In Specialty Chemicals, sales and profit increased due to higher orders for water-based resins. Research and development expenses in the Chemicals business increased due to the promotion of commercialization.
As a result, the Chemicals business posted net sales of ¥7,214 million (down 12.0% year on year) and a segment loss of ¥44 million (a deterioration of ¥527 million year on year).
・Textiles
The shirt business, including Tokyo Shirt saw a decrease in sales and an expansion of losses due to reduced orders for Apollocot shirts (Super shape stability processing) and dress shirt materials. The Uniforms business saw increased sales and reduced losses due to factors such as higher orders for custom-made corporate uniforms. The Development Materials business also experienced increased sales and reduced losses, driven by factors including rush orders associated with the discontinuation of in-house production of nonwoven products.
As a result, the Textiles business posted net sales of ¥24,312 million (down 11.4% year on year) and a segment loss of ¥140 million (a loss expansion of ¥46 million year on year).
(Real Estate)
The Real Estate business achieved significant increases in both revenue and profit through the sale of units at the large-scale commercial facility Ario Nishiarai (Adachi Ward, Tokyo), condominium sales in Minato Ward, Tokyo, and residential land sales in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture.
As a result, the Real Estate business posted net sales of ¥16,989 million (up 107.6% year on year) and segment profit of
¥12,249 million (up 124.0% year on year).

Notes to quarterly consolidated financial statements
(Notes on premise of a going concern) There are no applicable items.
(Notes on significant changes in shareholders' equity) (Acquisition of treasury stock)
Based on a resolution of the Board of Directors held on February 12, 2025, the Company acquired 1,050,000 shares of treasury stock during the current third cumulative consolidated accounting period. As a result, including the increase due to the repurchase of fractional shares and decreases from sales, treasury stock increased by ¥939 million during the current third cumulative consolidated accounting period.
(Change in accounting policy)
(Application of Accounting Standards for Corporate Income Tax, Resident Tax, Business Tax, etc.)
"Accounting Standards for Corporate Income Tax, Resident Tax, and Business Tax, etc." (Corporate Accounting Standards No. 27, October 28, 2022; hereinafter referred to as the '2022 Revised Accounting Standards') have been applied from the beginning of the first quarter consolidated accounting period.
Regarding amendments to the classification of corporate income tax and other taxes (taxation of other comprehensive income), the transitional treatment specified in the proviso of Article 20-3 of the 2022 Revised Accounting Standards and the transitional treatment specified in the proviso of Article 65-2(2) of the "Guidance on the Application of Accounting Standards for Tax Effects" (Corporate Accounting Standards Application Guidance No. 28, October 28, 2022) (hereinafter referred to as the "2022 Revised Application Guidelines") shall apply. Hereinafter referred to as the "2022 Revised Application Guidelines.") Section 65-2(2) proviso. This will have no impact on the quarterly consolidated financial statements.
In addition, regarding revisions related to the treatment in consolidated financial statements of deferred tax gains or losses arising from the sale of subsidiaries' shares between consolidated companies, we have applied the 2022 amendment application guidelines from the beginning of the first quarter consolidated accounting period.
The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively, and the interim consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the previous third cumulative period and the previous fiscal year have been restated accordingly.
As a result, compared to before the retroactive application, other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet for the previous consolidated fiscal year decreased by ¥335 million.
In addition, as the cumulative effect amount was reflected in net assets at the beginning of the previous consolidated fiscal year, retained earnings at the beginning of the previous period increased by ¥335 million.
(Application of Guidelines on Accounting Treatment and Disclosure of Corporate Taxes, etc., Related to the Global Minimum Tax Regime)
We have applied the "Guidelines on Accounting Treatment and Disclosure of Corporate Taxes, etc., Related to the Global Minimum Tax Regime" (Practical Response Report No. 46, March 22, 2024) from the beginning of the first quarter consolidated accounting period.
Note that, due to the application of Item 7 of the aforementioned Practical Response Report, corporate taxes, etc., related to the Global Minimum Tax Regime have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the current third cumulative consolidated accounting period.

Information on impairment losses on fixed assets or goodwill, etc. by reportable segment (Significant impairment loss on fixed assets)
(Chemicals)
The book value of assets related to the manufacture of carbon separators for fuel cells of Nisshinbo Chemical Inc. was reduced to the recoverable amount due to the deterioration of the market environment, which made it impossible to expect the cash flows that had been initially assumed. The resulting decrease of ¥4,150 million was recorded as an extraordinary loss.
The recoverable amount was determined based on the fair value, and since it is uncertain whether future cash flows will be positive, the amount has been reduced to the carrying amount.

(Determination of provisional accounting treatment for business combinations)
Regarding the business combination with ARGONICS GMBH and its subsidiary ARGONAV GMBH acquired on November 28, 2024, we had previously applied provisional accounting treatment in the prior fiscal year. However, this treatment has been finalized in the first quarter consolidated accounting period.
As a result of the finalization of this provisional accounting treatment, the comparative information included in the consolidated financial statements for the third cumulative period reflects significant revisions to the initial allocation of the acquisition cost. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the previous fiscal year shows a decrease of ¥501 million in goodwill, an increase of ¥656 million in other intangible assets, and an increase of ¥155 million in other non-current liabilities. Additionally, as a result of the finalization of this accounting treatment, the amount of goodwill for ARGONICS GMBH, which was provisionally calculated as ¥1,031 million as of the end of the previous fiscal year, has been revised to ¥530 million.
