1. Qualitative Information Concerning Quarterly Financial Statements and Other Matters

(1) Explanation Regarding Consolidated Operating Results

Regarding the economic condition in Japan and overseas during the first quarter, recovery was slow and the outlook remained uncertain due to COVID-19, continued shortage of semiconductors, and the lockdown in Shanghai, China, as well as a rise in resources, raw material, and distribution costs, and geopolitical risks such as the situation in Ukraine.

Regarding the automobile industry as well, although automobile production volume was expected to recover in each region, the impact of the drastic fluctuations in production due to shortage of semiconductors and the lockdown in Shanghai was considerable. Year-on-year production volume increased only slightly in North America and Asia etc., and in Japan and China, there were significant reductions in production volume. Therefore, global automobile production volume decreased year on year.

Under these circumstances, net sales for the first quarter decreased in Japan (decrease of 16.9% year on year) and China (decrease of 9.0% year on year) due to decreased automobile production. However, in regions such as North America (increase of 34.6% year on year) and Asia (increase of 34.8% year on year), net sales increased year on year due to new orders, a shift in automobile lamps to LED, and the effect of exchange rate conversions. As a result, consolidated net sales increased 5.2% year on year to ¥193.4 billion.

Regarding profits, although each group company implemented initiatives to improve and rationalize operations, operating income decreased by 58.9% to ¥6.3 billion, and recurring profit decreased by 48.3% to ¥8.4billion year on year, due to an increase in fixed costs accompanying the sudden fluctuation in production especially in Japan, China and North America, as well as a rise in various costs such as raw material costs, distribution costs, and utility costs in each region. Net income attributable to owners of parents was a loss of 1.0 billion, mainly due to a loss on valuation of investment securities.

  1. Explanation Regarding Consolidated Financial Position -1. Analysis of assets, liabilities and net assets
    Total assets at the end of the first quarter increased by ¥7.0 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥862.2 billion due to an increase in property, plant and equipment for equipment investmemt.
    Total liabilities decreased by ¥7.6 billion from the end of the previous period to ¥220.3 billion due to a decrease in trade notes and accounts payable.
    Total net assets increased by ¥14.6 billion from the end of the previous period to ¥641.9 billion due to an increase in translation adjustments for the weak Yen.

-2. Analysis of cash flows

Cash flows from the operating activities provided ¥22.1 billion, mainly reflecting the net income before income taxes of ¥0.4 billion and depreciation of ¥9.1 billion, which secured net cash of ¥15.6 billion (first quarter of the previous fiscal year: ¥28.6 billion) after payment of taxes.

Cash flows from investing activities resulted in expenditures of ¥18.0 billion (first quarter of the previous fiscal year: ¥14.8 billion) as a result of proceeds from time deposits of ¥30.2 billion, payments into time deposits of 35.9 billion, and acquisitions of property and equipment of ¥8.2 billion.

Cash flows from financing activities resulted in expenditures of ¥5.2 billion (first quarter of the previous fiscal year: ¥4.7 billion), the result of mainly reflecting the dividend paid of ¥5.4 billion.

As a result, the balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period decreased by ¥6.3 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥163.2 billion.

(3) Explanation Regarding Forecasts for Fiscal 2023 and Other Future Projections

Although the global automobile production volume is delayed to recover and remains uncertain as well as this second quarter due to continued impact of shortage of semiconductors and the lockdown in Shanghai, the impact of shortage of semiconductors is expected to gradually dissipate in the second half of the year and we forecast an increase in full year automobile production volume compared to the previous fiscal year.

Regarding the KOITO's business forecast for the fiscal year 2023, the year ending March 31, 2023, net sales are expected to increase year on year due to the gradual recovery of automobile production, an increase in new orders and a shift in automobile lamps to LED, as well as the effect of exchange rate conversions.

On the earnings front, operating income and recurring profit are expected to increase year on year despite the impact of a rise in various costs such as raw material costs and distribution costs, due to the continuous improvements and rationalization activities that the Group has been pursuing as one. Net income attributable to the owners of the parent is expected to decrease year on year due to the recording of a loss on valuation of investment securities in the first quarter.
