1-1. Points of the financial results

Financial results for Dec,2023

Sales increased by JPY 3.6 billion (+2.0%) year-on-year.

Excluding foreign exchange effects, revenues decreased by ¥ 5.1 billion (-2.9%).

1

In real terms, excluding foreign exchange effects, sales in the automotive equipment business fell by ¥ 3.9 billion.

Sales decreased due to the end of commercial rights for some models in Europe as a result of vehicle switching, and

lower sales to major customers in China and Japan.

In addition, the sale of a systems subsidiary in the previous year led to a decrease of ¥1.2 billion in revenues in other

businesses.

Operating income decreased by 5.3 billion yen year-on-year. The decrease in sales and the deterioration of the product

mix sold were offset by foreign exchange gains, in addition to improvement measures including cost reductions and

productivity improvements. However, the decline in income was attributed to investments for growth, primarily in future

2

development, and provisions for quality expenses arising from the past.

Excluding these special factors, the profit structure showed progress in improving profitability, with an increase of 0.6 billion

yen year-on-year. Furthermore, in line with the formulation of the new medium-term plan, an extraordinary gain of 5.8

billion yen was recorded due to a review of the provision for structural reforms. However, an impairment loss of 2.4 billion

yen on fixed assets was recorded, resulting in a net loss attributable to the parent company of 3.4 billion yen.

Operating cash flow increased by 19.5 billion yen year-on-year, reaching 9.4 billion yen. This significant improvement was

attributed to inventory reduction and the early collection of accounts receivable resulting from the restoration of the

3

previously disrupted supply chain. Additionally, there was an enhancement in working capital efficiency.

While the shortage of semiconductors is easing for both customers and component manufacturers, concerns persist about

the impact of the current Red Sea blockade on the supply chain. Therefore, we are actively promoting further logistics

efficiency measures．
