Overview of Operating Results
Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year under Review (Operating Results for the Consolidated Fiscal Year under Review)
A challenging situation continued within the Group business environment for the fiscal year due to sluggish domestic demand
for steel products, decreased demand for construction machinery on a global level, production halt from the certification issues among domestic car manufacturers and a decrease in automobile production in some overseas regions.
Under this business environment, we steadily implemented the Medium-term Management Plan "TOPY Active & Challenge 2025." As part of our efforts to rebuild our business foundation, we pursued the optimization of our business portfolio and worked to establish sustainable sales pricing. In addition, in order to implement management that is conscious of cost of capital and stock price, we proceeded with the reduction of cross-shareholdings and conducted a share buyback.
Net sales for the fiscal year under review were ¥300,610 million (down 10.0% year on year), operating profit was ¥5,300 million (down 49.2% year on year) and ordinary profit was ¥6,246 million (down 40.3% year on year) due mainly to the impact of sluggish domestic demand for steel products and a decrease in sales volumes of undercarriage parts for construction machinery and wheels for passenger vehicles. Despite these factors, profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥6,387 million (up 36.3% year on year) due to gains on sales of investment securities, among other factors.
Performance by Segment (Steel Business)
In the steel industry, domestic demand for steel products remained weak due to construction project delays. Also, prices for steel scrap, a raw material, fell year on year.
Under these conditions, a decline in steel product sales volume due to weak demand and higher energy costs led to Group net sales of ¥102,618 million (down 7.4% year on year) and operating profit of ¥6,355 million (down 34.1% year on year).
(Automotive & Industrial Machinery Components Business)
In the automobile industry, production volume decreased from the level in the previous fiscal year in Japan due to the effect from the certification issues among other factors. Overseas, passenger car production volume in the U.S. declined and the share for the Japanese manufacturers in China declined. Automobile production volume also declined in Southeast Asia region. In the construction machinery industry, worldwide demand for hydraulic shovels continued to decline. Furthermore, demand for mining machinery remained stagnant.
Under the circumstances, despite efforts to establish sustainable sales pricing, the Group net sales were ¥190,745 million (down 5.4% year on year) and operating profit was ¥4,447 million (down 18.1% year on year) due mainly to the drastic decrease in sales volume of undercarriage parts for construction machinery, reduction of sales volume of wheels for passenger vehicles by the effect of certification issues among domestic car manufacturers and the decrease in sales volume at overseas bases beside other factors.
(Others)
The Group is involved in the manufacture and sale of synthetic mica, civil engineering and construction, real estate leasing, and the operation of sports club. Due to the impact from the elimination of the Power Generation Business, net sales decreased to ¥7,246 million (down 66.4% year on year), and operating profit was ¥428 million (down 65.1% year on year).
Overview of Financial Position for the Fiscal Year under Review Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets
Total assets at the end of the fiscal year under review stood at ¥281,751 million, a decrease of ¥16,540 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease of ¥11,831 million in investment securities, a decrease of ¥8,318 million in notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets, and a decrease of ¥3,941 million in property, plant, and equipment.
Total liabilities were ¥145,038 million, a decrease of ¥12,264 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease of ¥6,490 million in long-term borrowings, a decrease of ¥5,114 million in electronically recorded obligations - operating, and an increase of ¥5,220 million in short-term borrowings.
Total net assets amounted to ¥136,713 million, a decrease of ¥4,274 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease of ¥7,577 million in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities, an increase of ¥4,030 million in retained earnings, and an increase of ¥3,549 million in foreign currency translation adjustment. As a result, net assets per share were ¥6,133.88, and the equity ratio stood at 48.0%.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter "net cash") in the fiscal year under review increased by ¥3,412 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥26,621 million.
(Cash flows from operating activities)
Funds obtained from operating activities stood at ¥15,390 million, a decrease of ¥6,927 million from the previous fiscal year. This was mainly attributable to depreciation at ¥12,199 million, profit before income taxes at ¥8,982 million, and a decrease in trade receivables at ¥8,932 million.
(Cash flows from investing activities)
Funds used in investing activities stood at ¥1,974 million, a decrease of ¥7,428 million from the previous fiscal year. This was mainly attributable to purchase of property, plant and equipment at ¥7,902 million, proceeds from sale of investment securities at
¥3,484 million, and amount of subsidy received at ¥1,173 million.
(Cash flows from financing activities)
Funds used in financing activities stood at ¥10,828 million, a decrease of ¥1,750 million from the previous fiscal year. This
was mainly attributable to repayments of long-term borrowings of ¥7,555 million, net increase in short-term borrowings at ¥6,069 million, and redemption of bonds at ¥5,000 million.

Future Outlook
The future business environment surrounding the Group is expected to remain uncertain, influenced by factors such as trends in domestic demand for steel products and developments in automobile and construction machinery production, including the impact of U.S. trade policy.
In response to changes in the business environment and recent performance, the Group has decided to revise its Medium-term Management Plan one year ahead of schedule. We will promptly disclose the new Medium-term Management Plan, which will begin in fiscal 2025, as soon as it is finalized.
The consolidated forecasts for fiscal 2025 include consolidated net sales of ¥302,000 million, operating profit of ¥7,000 million, ordinary profit of ¥7,100 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥7,800 million.
Note that while the anticipated increase in costs due to tariffs under U.S. trade policy has been factored in, the potential impact of a decline in demand and a resulting decrease in sales volume has not.
Basic Profit Allocation Policy, and Dividends for the Current and Next Fiscal Year
With respect to the year-end dividend for the current fiscal year, the Group has set a target payout ratio of 30%-35% of profit attributable to owners of the parent company, excluding one-time gains or losses that do not involve changes in cash and deposits. The planned year-end dividend has been determined with due consideration for maintaining a stable dividend and is expected to be
¥73 per share. The interim dividend was ¥30 per share, resulting in an annual dividend of ¥103 per share. Regarding the dividend for the next fiscal year, we plan to pay an annual dividend of ¥130 per share.
Basic Policy for the Selection of Accounting Standards
The Group adopts the Japanese accounting standards, taking into account the possibility of comparing terms of consolidated financial statements and performances between the companies.
It will work to adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate, considering the situation in both Japan and other countries.

(Application of accounting standard for current income taxes, etc.)
The "Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes" (ASBJ Statement No. 27, October 28, 2022; "2022 Revised Accounting Standard") has been applied from the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year.
With regard to the revisions concerning the accounting classification of income taxes (taxation on other comprehensive income), these are subject to the provisional treatment set forth in the proviso of paragraph 20-3 of the 2022 Revised Accounting Standard and the provisional treatment set forth in the proviso of paragraph 65-2 (2) of the "Guidance on
Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting" (ASBJ Guidance No. 28, October 28, 2022; "2022 Revised Guidance"). This change has no impact on the quarterly consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the Company has adopted the 2022 Revised Guidance for the revisions related to the review of the treatment in consolidated financial statements deferring gains or losses on sales of investments in subsidiaries among consolidated companies for tax purposes, effective from the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year. The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively, and the quarterly consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year and the consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year have been prepared on a retrospective basis. This change has no impact on the quarterly consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year or the consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year.
