Hosiden Corporation (6804) Consolidated Financial Results for the First Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Contents of the attachment 2 3 4 comprehensive income 8 9 9 9 1. Qualitative information regarding financial results for the first three months ended June 30, 2023 Explanation of operating results During the first three months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 (from April 2023 to June 2023), despite continued growth in the world economy, the pace of that growth slowed. Rising inflation in other countries has led to the adoption of monetary tightening policies, but the Japanese yen has weakened due to differences in monetary policy. Even though the financial instability seen in the U.S. at the end of the previous fiscal year is showing signs of stabilizing, geopolitical risks, such as issues between Russia and Ukraine, continue and uncertainty over the world economic outlook, including sky-high prices for grain and other food, may intensify even further. In the electronic component industry to which the Company group (the "Group") belongs, semiconductor shortages in the automotive-related market have eased and sales are recovering. In contrast, consumer demand in the mobile communications-related market remains stagnant and sales are sluggish. Under such circumstances, the Group's net sales increased for the AV equipment-related business and the home appliances-related business, but decreased for the amusement-related business. Net sales of the display components segment in the automotive-related business also fell sharply. As a result, net sales was down overall. With regard to profits, operating profit in the same period last year was significantly boosted by the yen's sudden depreciation. In the period under review, however, profit declined mainly because of the persistently high prices of raw materials and semiconductors, coupled with lower sales. And despite the yen's weakness, it did little to boost the bottom line. As a result, during the period under review, the Group posted consolidated net sales of 56,273 million yen (down 21.0% year on year), operating profit of 2,596 million yen (down 61.5% year on year), ordinary profit of 5,460 million yen (down 50.5% year on year) with foreign exchange gains of 2,626 million yen in line with foreign exchange fluctuations, and profit attributable to owners of parent of 3,658 million yen (down 50.7% year on year). The net sales and segment profit or loss for the reportable segments are as follows: Net sales for the electro-mechanical components segment was 48,559 million yen (down 24.4% year on year) due to a decrease in the amusement-related business, and the segment profit was 1,875 million yen (down 70.6% year on year). Net sales for the acoustic components segment was 4,470 million yen (up 13.2% year on year) due to increases in the automotive-related business and the AV equipment-related business while the segment profit was 292 million yen (up 4.9% year on year). Net sales for the display components segment was 591 million yen (down 55.2% year on year) due to a decrease in the automotive-related business, and the segment loss was 89 million yen (segment loss of 201 million yen for the previous year). Net sales for the applied equipment and other segment was 2,652 million yen (up 50.4% year on year) due to increases in the amusement-related and home appliances-related businesses, and the segment profit was 518 million yen (up 74.5% year on year). Explanation of financial positionAssets, liabilities, and net assets At the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, total assets increased 519 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 180,512 million yen mainly due to an increase in inventories despite decreases in trade receivables and securities. Total liabilities increased 707 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 53,947 million yen mainly due to an increase in trade payables despite decreases in repayments of short-term borrowings and income taxes payable. 2 -
