1.Points of the financial results

Financial Results for 1Q FY12/2024

[Net sales]

Global vehicle production volumes for Q1 were generally in line with the previous year, despite regional variations. Excluding

1

a foreign exchange impact of +4.0 billion yen, sales remained flat.

In China, sales grew across the board, including for EVs, while in Asia, particularly in India, sales to local OEMs increased.

In the Americas, sales primarily decreased in the aftermarket sector. In Europe, excluding the effect of exchange rates, sales

declined due to increased imports of EVs and reduced demand amid economic downturn.

[Profit]

Amid sluggish sales, the company continued price negotiations to mitigate the effects of high raw material costs. In

Europe, inventory reductions and in China, increased sales led to higher operational efficiency, improved productivity,

2

and cost reductions.

Operating income decreased by 0.1-billion-yenyear-over-year.

Despite cost reductions and productivity improvements at the facilities in Poland and China, as well as mitigating effects

from foreign exchange fluctuations, operating income slightly decreased due to funds being allocated to growth

investments.

Net income decreased by 0.2 billion yen, yet a net profit of 0.3 billion yen was maintained.

[Measures]

Strengthened and promoted measures in Q1 to address environmental changes that became apparent. In response to

3

rising fuel and raw material costs due to the continued depreciation of the yen, price negotiations and cost reduction

efforts were implemented.

In response to prolonged lead times in transportation to Europe due to issues in the Red Sea, measures were taken to minimize airfreight usage and reduce ocean freight costs.
