    1. Overview of Business Performance
      1. Review of operating results and financial statements (a.) Review of operating results

        The main factors affecting business performance for the current consolidated fiscal year were a decline in sales in the Environmental Solutions business, while the Electronic Materials, Industrial Infrastructure, and Wellness businesses all recorded significant sales growth. The result was a year-on-year increase in consolidated net sales for the ZACROS Group.

        On the profit side, personnel and R&D expenses rose; raw material, energy, and transportation costs increased; and ransomware temporarily halted production at a manufacturing site. Despite this, the group's profits improved compared with the previous year's, mainly because of higher sales in the Electronic Materials and Industrial Infrastructure businesses and such measures to enhance profitability as production efficiency improvements and price adjustments.

        The ZACROS Group's consolidated net sales for the fiscal year under review were ¥150,735 million, reflecting a 10.7% increase over the previous year. Operating income rose 21.2%, to ¥10,116 million; ordinary income increased 16.3%, to ¥10,366 million; and net income attributable to owners of parent grew 44.1%, to ¥6,530 million.

        The performance of the ZACROS Group's businesses follows. Wellness

        Wellness net sales increased on the growth in sales of pharmaceutical and medical packaging materials and single-use bags for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Wellness operating income, however, declined, primarily because of ongoing investments for the development of medical devices and products related to in vitro diagnostics and testing reagents. Net sales were ¥27,139 million, a 4.0% year-on-year increase, whereas operating income declined 37.1%, to ¥523 million.

        Environmental Solutions

        Although sales of liquid containers increased at both domestic and overseas subsidiaries, overall sales decreased due to factors such as the sale of part of the food packaging business. On the profit front, despite the positive impact of increased sales in liquid containers, the decline in food packaging revenue resulted in a decrease in overall profit.

        Net sales for the segment amounted to ¥32,683 million, a 2.4% year-on-year decrease, and operating income was down 10.2%, at ¥1,297 million.

        Electronic Materials

        Electronic Materials recorded substantial sales growth, particularly in protective films, the segment's core product among display-related materials. This strong performance was driven by industry restructuring, which enhanced the business's competitiveness. The recovery of the semiconductor market, meanwhile, also boosted the segment's sales of electronic component-related and other product categories. As a result, the segment's net sales reached ¥53,941 million, up 20.0% over the previous year, and its operating income was ¥4,206 million, an increase of 39.4%.

        Industrial Infrastructure

        The Industrial Infrastructure business continued to perform well, with sales of building materials for air-conditioning pipes, void slabs for housing complexes, industrial chimneys, and tunnel materials higher than a year earlier. Chemical product sales also increased compared to the same period of the previous year, supported by strong demand for adhesive products, particularly for semiconductor and automotive film applications. Segment net sales were

        ¥36,970 million, 16.8% higher than the previous year, and operating income rose 34.1%, to ¥ 4,089 million.

        (b.) Overview of financial position

        At the end of the fiscal year, the ZACROS Group's total assets were ¥153,926 million, an increase of ¥12,246 million compared with the previous fiscal year-end. This increase was due to increases in tangible fixed assets and inventories and despite a decrease in short-term securities.

        Total liabilities amounted to ¥53,231 million. This increase of ¥5,193 million from the previous fiscal year-end was mainly due to increases in accounts payable and borrowings and despite a decrease in trade payables.

        Total net assets were ¥100,695 million, up ¥7,052 million from the previous fiscal year-end. This rise was primarily due to an increase in retained earnings and foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from a weak yen. The ZACROS Group's equity ratio was 59.5%.

        (c.) Overview of cash flows

        Cash and cash equivalents-hereinafter, funds-at the end of the fiscal year decreased ¥9,630 million from the previous fiscal year-end, to ¥22,481 million.

        The status and main factors for cash flows are as follows:

        Cash flows from operating activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥6,588 million, compared with ¥10,083 million in the previous fiscal year. The decline owed itself to such factors as a decrease in trade payables and an increase in inventories and income taxes paid, offset by factors that included income before income taxes of ¥9,614 million and depreciation of ¥5,987 million.

        Cash flows from investing activities

        Net cash used in investing activities was ¥17,462 million, compared with ¥6,109 million in the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to outflows for the acquisition of tangible fixed assets of ¥17,731 million and despite inflows from business transfers.

        Cash flows from financing activities

        Net cash provided by financing activities was ¥269 million, compared with an outflow of ¥3,507 million in the previous fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to proceeds from long-term borrowings and despite outflows for cash dividends.

        Trends in the group's cash flow indicators are as follows:

        Notes:

        1. All indicators are calculated on a consolidated basis using the following formulas:

          • Equity ratio = Equity / Total assets

          • Market-based equity ratio = Market capitalization / Total assets

          • Interest-bearing debt to cash flow ratio = Interest-bearing debt / Operating cash flow

          • Interest coverage ratio = Operating cash flow / Interest paid

        2. Market capitalization is calculated as the fiscal year-end closing share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding at year-end, excluding treasury shares.

        3. Interest-bearing debt includes all liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets for which interest is paid.

        4. Operating cash flow and interest paid are based on cash flows from operating activities and interest paid as recorded in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

      2. Outlook

        The medium-term management plan launched last year has now entered its second year. Positioned as a critical period, the next two years will continue to focus on actively investing to transform our business model and portfolio while advancing balance sheet reforms, all with the goal of achieving a 12% ROE by fiscal 2030. To further enhance corporate value, we will continue efforts to strengthen the competitiveness and capital efficiency of each business segment. At the same time, we will promote both "solution-creating activities," which generate new value by combining products and services, and "custom manufacturing" tailored to specific needs.

        For fiscal 2025, the second year of the medium-term plan, segment forecasts are as follows: Wellness

        The Wellness business will work to accurately identify domestic and international medical needs and secure orders for pharmaceutical and medical packaging. In the bio-related field, we have been strengthening our production capacity to meet the continued growth in demand for single-use bags used in the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals and related products. In addition, we will work to establish medical devices, in vitro diagnostics, and reagent-related businesses-areas into which we have invested in R&D over the past several years-as core pillars of our revenue base going forward.

        Environmental Solutions will develop and manufacture consumer and industrial packaging products that reduce environmental impact and expand the marketing and sales of such products globally. It will also consider optimizing its global supply system for liquid containers in response to rising demand, especially in Asia.

        Electronic Materials

        In the Electronic Materials business, orders for our core product-protective films for displays-are expected to remain strong. Meanwhile, in the electronic components sector, we anticipate sales growth for information recording materials, particularly interlayer insulating materials used in semiconductor packages, driven by the growing demand from data centers supporting generative AI.

        Industrial Infrastructure

        The Industrial Infrastructure business will strengthen its system proposals and infrastructure for improved quality and productivity that contribute to differentiation. It will develop feature-filled products, such as lightweight, high insulation for construction sites, and will focus on proposals that save labor and manpower.

        For the year ending March 31, 2026, the ZACROS Group projects consolidated net sales of ¥157,000 million, a 4.2% increase over fiscal 2025. Operating income is expected to rise slightly to ¥10,200 million, an increase of 0.8%, while ordinary income is forecast to reach ¥10,800 million, up 4.2%. In addition, approximately ¥1.3 billion from the Large-Scale Growth Investment Grant Program-aimed at supporting wage increases at small- and medium-sized enterprises through labor-saving and other measures-has been factored in as extraordinary income. As a result, profit attributable to owners of the parent is projected to be ¥7,500 million, a 14.8% increase year on year.

        The performance forecast is based on information available at this time. However, should external factors exceed our current assumptions, there is a possibility that the forecast may be significantly affected.

      3. Basic policy on profit distribution and dividends for the fiscal year under review and subsequent fiscal years

      The ZACROS Group considers returning profits to our shareholders and improving return on equity (ROE) to be among our highest priorities. With regard to profit distribution, we aim to provide stable and continuous dividends with a target payout ratio of 40% or higher. For the fiscal year-end dividend, taking into account full-year results including net income, we plan to increase the dividend by ¥4 per share from the interim dividend of ¥63, resulting in a year-end dividend of ¥67 per share, including a ¥10 commemorative dividend for the 110th anniversary of our founding. As a result, the annual dividend for the current fiscal year is expected to be ¥130 per share, including a ¥20 commemorative dividend for the 110th anniversary.

      For the next fiscal year, we plan to further increase the annual dividend by ¥4 to ¥134 per share, with an interim dividend of ¥67 and a year-end dividend of ¥67.

      (Changes in significant subsidiaries during the fiscal year)

      Fujimori PlaChemical Co., Ltd., which was a consolidated subsidiary, has been excluded from the scope of consolidation because of its dissolution through an absorption-type merger.

      (Notes on changes in accounting policies)

      The Accounting Standard for Corporate, Inhabitant and Enterprise Taxes (ASBJ Statement No. 27, October 28, 2022; hereinafter, the 2022 Revised Accounting Standard) has been applied from the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year under review.

      With respect to the revision to the classification of corporate tax and to taxation on other comprehensive income, the transitional treatments stipulated in the proviso of paragraph 20-3 of the 2022 Revised Accounting Standard and the proviso of paragraph 65-2 (2) of the Guidance on Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting (ASBJ Guidance No. 28, October 28, 2022; hereinafter, the 2022 Revised Guidance) have been followed. This change in accounting policy had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

      In addition, revisions related to the treatment in the consolidated financial statements of the deferral for tax purposes of gains or losses on sales of shares of subsidiaries and other securities arising from sales between consolidated companies have been applied based on the 2022 Revised Guidance from the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year under review.

      This change in accounting policy has been applied retroactively to the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year. However, the change had no effect on the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year.

(Segment Information)
  1. Overview of Reportable Segments

    The group's reportable segments are units of the group for which separate financial information is available and which are periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors to determine the allocation of management resources and to assess performance.

    Our company has established an organizational structure based on business segments, and each business segment formulates and implements comprehensive strategies for both domestic and overseas operations by market and product. The group's reportable segments are classified into four categories based on product types, markets, and other factors: Wellness, Environmental Solutions, Electronic Materials, and Industrial Infrastructure.

    The main products for each reportable segment are as follows:

    Segment

    Produce Field

    Main Products

    Wellness

    Pharmaceuticals and medical

    Pharmaceutical and medical packaging, release films for pharmaceutical

    Biomedical

    Single-use bags for biopharmaceuticals (BioPhaS®)

  2. Method of Calculating Net Sales, Profit or Loss, Assets, Liabilities, and Other Items by Reporting Segment

    The method for calculating the amounts of net sales, profit or loss, assets, liabilities, and other items for each reporting segment is, in principle, the same as the method used for preparing consolidated financial statements.

    The profit of reportable segments is based on operating profit. Information on liabilities by reportable segment is not regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and is therefore not included in the scope of disclosure.

    Internal sales and transfers between segments are based on actual transaction prices.
