1. Qualitative Information on Financial Results for the Quarterly Period Under Review

(1) Overview of business results

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, as the Japanese economy saw mitigation of the harsh situation owing to the impact of COVID-19, there were signs of moderate recovery in corporate earnings, capital investment, personal consumption, the employment situation, etc. The world economy is also expected to continue improving moderately as the impact of COVID-19 decreases. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to volatility in the financial and capital markets and rising prices amid ongoing global monetary tightening, resource and raw material prices fluctuating at high levels, the prolonged Russia-Ukraine crisis, and the lingering effects of restraints on economic activity in China.

The average domestic quotation price for copper, the main raw material used for the Company's products, for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was on levels higher than for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

In the meantime, demand for electric wires for infrastructure was on levels lower than for the same period of the previous fiscal year, while in the electric wires for industrial device business, demand from some users continued recovering. Sales of smartphones, the main application of functional films, remained weak in terms of volumes due to a global price increase, and a slowdown of the Chinese economy and the effects of lockdowns, etc. in the country. Demand for materials was affected by sluggish product sales, shortages in supplies of semiconductors and other components and materials, users' inventory adjustment, etc.

In this environment, net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2022 increased to 30,409 million yen (up 2.7% year on year), but income decreased, with operating income of 892 million yen (down 47.6% year on year), ordinary income of 1,074 million yen (down 41.3% year on year), and income attributable to owners of parent of 872 million yen (down 34.6% year on year).

An overview of the Group's business performance by segment is as follows:

[Electric Wire and Cable Business]

Sales volumes of electric wires for infrastructure were lower than for the same period of the previous fiscal year (down 11.9% year on year) as customers continued conservative buying due to higher copper prices and competition intensified, fueled by selling price revisions implemented in response to rising raw material prices. However, owing to higher copper prices as well as a continued recovery in demand from some customers for electric wires for industrial devices, etc., net sales for this segment increased to 21,013 million yen (up 8.7% year on year). Meanwhile, despite efforts to improve margins by selling price revisions, etc., operating income decreased to 20 million yen (down 95.1% year on year) due to lower sales volumes, higher raw material prices, slow progress on selling price revisions, fluctuations in copper prices, etc.

[Electronic Materials Business]

Demand for functional films, the Company's flagship products, decreased (down 12.8% year on year) due to lower sales volumes for smartphones, the major application of functional films, lockdowns in China, shortages in supplies of semiconductors, etc., users' inventory adjustment, etc., and as a result, net sales for this segment were 8,263 million yen (down 11.1% year on year). Operating income decreased to 1,190 million yen (down 27.7% year on year).
