    2. The Company has implemented the stock split with an effective date of October 1, 2024 and a record date of September 30, 2024. Each share of common stock has been split into five shares. The above year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 is based on a number of shares taking into account the stock split. The total annual dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 is not presented because the total of the interim dividend and the year-end dividend cannot be calculated due to effect of the stock split. With taking the stock split into account, the interim dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 would be 28 yen and the total annual dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 would be 56 yen.

  1. Overview of operating results, etc

    1. Overview of operating results during the period

      During the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025), the economic environment was marked by heightened uncertainty, driven by a series of tariff measures imposed by U.S. President Trump, which disrupted the economies and trade policies of countries around the world. Additionally, rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East further intensified concerns about the future outlook. In the United States, although there was a temporary pre-tariff surge in automobile demand, overall growth rate of personal consumption slowed. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) closely monitored the impact of tariffs on the economy and decided to keep interest rates unchanged. In Europe, the central bank lowered interest rates against a backdrop of declining inflation rate, leading to a gradual economic recovery. In China, personal consumption saw a modest rebound as the government implemented a trade-in program to promote the replacement of consumer goods. In addition, a pre-tariff surge in demand in Asian countries led to an increase in exports of raw materials and components. In Japan, inbound consumption remained strong, and spending in service sectors such as dining out supported overall personal consumption. However, uncertainty surrounding the future impact of President Trump's tariff policies led to restrained and delayed capital investment in the manufacturing sector, raising concerns of a potential economic slowdown. In the foreign exchange market, the yen appreciated against the U.S. dollar compared with the same period of the previous year.

      Under these circumstances, in the key markets of Nitto Group (the "Group"), accelerated production activity was observed in automobiles, IT devices, and high-end smartphones during the grace period prior to the implementation of additional U.S. tariffs, resulting in increased demand for our products. On the other hand, the yen's exchange rate against the U.S. dollar for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025, was 145.7 yen to the dollar, a 5.8% appreciation of the yen compared with the same period of the previous year, and the effect of the stronger yen decreased operating profit by 6.8 billion yen.

      As a result of the above, revenue decreased by 1.3% from the same period of the previous year (changes hereafter are given in comparison with the same period of the previous year) to 246,192 million yen. Operating profit decreased by 15.9% to 42,645 million yen, profit before income taxes decreased by 14.4% to 43,307 million yen, net profit decreased by 13.3% to 31,322 million yen, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company decreased by 13.4% to 31,303 million yen.

      Summary of results by segment

      ① Industrial Tape

      In Functional Base Products, revenue increased from the same period of the previous year. Demand for assembly materials used in high-end smartphones increased due to the expansion of models adopting battery bonding electrical release tape. In addition, demand for process materials used in the production of semiconductor memories and ceramic capacitors increased. Revenue for automotive materials decreased due to the decline in the number of automotive unit production by Japanese manufacturers in China.

      As a result of the above, revenue increased by 0.5% to 85,780 million yen and operating profit decreased by 12.3% to 9,871 million yen.

      ② Optronics

      In Information Fine Materials, revenue did not reach the level of the same period of the previous year. Demand for optical films increased due to the accelerated production of high-end laptop PCs and tablets. On the other hand, revenue decreased due to the strategic withdrawal from optical films for LCD smartphones and price reductions resulting from material rationalization of process protection films.

      In Circuit Materials, revenue increased from the same period of the previous year. Demand for high-precision circuits increased due to the accelerated production of high-end smartphones. Demand for Circuit Integrated Suspension (CIS) used in Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) with higher capacity for data centers remained strong driven by the spread of generative AI.

      As a result of the above, revenue decreased by 3.8% to 130,541 million yen and operating profit decreased by 19.4% to 36,755 million yen.

      ③ Human Life

      In Life Science, revenue increased from the same period of the previous year. Demand for oligonucleotide contract manufacturing and nucleic acid synthesis materials (NittoPhaseTM) used within the manufacturing process increased. Additionally, for the large-scale project expected to be commercialized in the future, preparations are underway to begin production from the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

      In nucleic acid drug discovery, Phase 1 clinical trial of intractable cancer drug was completed in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year and the Group continues to work toward out-licensing its pipeline.

      In Membrane (high-polymer separation membrane), revenue increased from the same period of the previous year. Demand for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) contributing to the complete reduction of industrial wastewater and effluent increased due to the tightening of environmental regulations relating to wastewater in India and China.

      In Personal Care Materials, revenue increased from the same period of the previous year. The Group promoted our new products in hygiene materials for diapers and environmentally friendly products using biodegradable technologies.

      As a result of the above, revenue increased by 2.9% to 32,476 million yen and operating loss amounted to 1,630 million yen. (operating loss of 3,140 million yen was reported in the same period of the previous year)

      ④ Others

      Please note that this segment includes new products that have not generated sufficient revenue yet. The Group is concentrating our management resources on themes that are candidates for PlanetFlags/HumanFlags in areas of next generation semiconductors, environmental solutions, and digital health, with the aim of commercializing them as early as possible.

      As a result of the above, revenue increased by 170.8% to 3 million yen and operating loss amounted to 1,700 million yen. (operating loss of 1,756 million yen was reported in the same period of the previous year)

    2. Overview of financial position during the period

      The Group's financial position at the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 was as follows.

      Compared with the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, total assets decreased by 39,619 million yen to 1,282,300 million yen and total liabilities decreased by 15,985 million yen to 260,821 million yen. Total equity decreased by 23,634 million yen to 1,021,479 million yen. This was mainly due to a 11,845 million yen increase in retained earnings, a 32,198 million yen increase in treasury shares and a 3,279 million yen increase in other components of equity from the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. As a result, the ratio of equity attributable to owners of the parent company to total assets changed from 79.0% at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 to 79.6% at the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

      The main changes in assets were a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of 72,387 million yen, an increase in trade and other receivables of 6,519 million yen, an increase in inventories of 4,004 million yen, an increase in other financial assets of 3,418 million yen, an increase in other current assets of 7,663 million yen, an increase in property, plant and equipment of 5,819 million yen, an increase in goodwill of 2,000 million yen, an increase in financial assets of 2,939 million yen, an increase in other noncurrent assets of 2,130 million yen. In terms of liabilities, trade and other payables increased by 7,516 million yen, income tax payables decreased by 12,518 million yen, other current financial liabilities decreased by 8,936 million yen.

    3. Explanation of forecasts and other projections

      As accelerated production activity was observed in automobiles, IT devices, and high-end smartphones in anticipation of the implementation of additional U.S. tariffs, resulting in increased demand for our products, the consolidated forecasts for the cumulative second quarter ending September 30, 2025, have been revised. However, the consolidated forecasts for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, remains unchanged from the initial announcement due to ongoing economic uncertainties. We will promptly disclose any revisions to the forecasts as necessary, taking into account future performance trends.

    1. Accounting standards compliance

      The Group's quarterly consolidated financial statements, which meet the requirements of a "specified company complying with any designated international accounting standards" defined in Article 1-2 of the Regulation on Consolidated Financial Statements, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as prescribed in Article 312 of the Regulation on Consolidated Financial Statements. The quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, since the quarterly consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required in the annual consolidated financial statements.

    2. Presentation currency and units

      The quarterly consolidated financial statements are presented in Japanese yen and figures less than a million yen are rounded down to the nearest million yen.

    3. Significant accounting estimates and judgments

      When preparing the quarterly consolidated financial statements, management makes judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may vary from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and the effect of revised accounting estimates is recognized in the current and future accounting periods.

      The quarterly consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the same judgments, estimations and assumptions as those applied and described in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

    4. Approval of the quarterly consolidated financial statements

      The quarterly consolidated financial statements were approved by Hideo Takasaki, President, and Yasuhiro Iseyama, CFO on July 28, 2025.

Material accounting policies implemented in the quarterly consolidated financial statements are the same as the accounting policies implemented in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

(Segment information)
