3 Operating Results and Financial Position 1. Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 In the three months ended June 30, 2014, the European and U.S. economies continued on a recovery track, underpinned by growth in mining and manufacturing production as well as a recovery in consumer spending in Europe, along with an improvement in both corporate earnings and the employment situation in the U.S. In China, the pace of economic growth was modest, including a decline in spending growth. In India, the regime change in May is lifting hopes for a rebuilding of the economy, but overall the economies of emerging countries remained at a standstill. Meanwhile, the Japanese economy has remained on a modest recovery track as domestic demand, including capital investment, has been firm. However, the trend in consumption bears watching going forward, as there has been a recoil in consumption following the surge in demand triggered by the consumption tax rate increase. The environment surrounding the IINO Group s shipping business did not improve significantly, as although freight rates moved higher for some vessel types in response to factors such as heightened demand for cargo transport, freight rates continued to languish on the whole. Amid this business environment, the company worked to renew existing contracts on favorable terms, and reduce fuel costs by effectively deploying vessels and slow streaming. The Real Estate business achieved stable earnings due to the steady utilization of the Iino Building and other buildings. As a result, the Company posted consolidated revenues of 25,378 million (up 9.2% year on year), consolidated operating profit of 2,468 million (up 47.8% year on year), a consolidated recurring profit of 1,999 million (up 42.3% year on year), and consolidated net income of 1,951 million (down 10.5% year on year ). The following is an overview of performance by segment. 3

4 (1) Oceangoing Shipping Oil tanker freight rates declined during the first part of the period, due to the impact of periodic repairs at oil refineries in the Far East, but freight rates moved higher from the middle of June as a result of the increase in transport demand following the completion of the periodic repairs. Petroleum product tanker freight rates languished on the whole, as among other factors, the increase in U.S. domestic demand stemming from the U.S. economic recovery and the start of the driving season resulted in a decline in exports of petroleum products from the U.S. Chemical tanker freight rates softened during the period. This was due to the decline in long-distance marine transport volume between continents, including from North America to Asia, resulting from the lack of growth in demand for petrochemical products due to restrained buying in association with the slowdown in economic growth in China, as well as the drop in exports caused by strong domestic demand for petrochemical products in the U.S. Meanwhile, palm oil transport was sluggish at the start of the period, but signs of a recovery in transport demand to India and Pakistan emerged in the latter half of the period, with freight rates also showing a simultaneous upward trend. In the large gas tanker segment, LPG tanker freight rates were firm, underpinned by sound transport volume in continuation from the previous period. Meanwhile, LNG tanker freight rates continued to languish in continuation from the previous period, as transport demand failed to grow as initially expected. In the bulk carrier segment, freight rates were slack overall. Freight rates declined for both large vessels and handy vessels, as there was no stop to the softening of freight rates since the start of spring amid the heightened sense of an excess in tonnage supply. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the IINO Group s average exchange rate was /US$ (97.72/US$ in the same period of the previous fiscal year), while the average price of bunker oil was US$608/MT (US$642/MT in the same period of the previous fiscal year). Amid this environment, in the Oceangoing Shipping segment, the Company worked to secure stable revenues in the Oil Tanker Division by keeping most of its vessels deployed on medium- to long-term contracts. 4

5 The Chemical Tanker Division achieved stable transport volume, as on Middle East routes there was a steady consumption of cargo volume loaded in the Middle East and headed for Asia and Europe, and the division also proactively transported liquid phosphoric acid loaded in North Africa headed to India. Furthermore, the division secured stable transport volume by picking up palm oil heading from Asia to India, Pakistan and the Red Sea. The joint venture with a U.S. operator secured stable transport volume by taking on spot cargo in addition to contracts of affreightment, primarily within the Atlantic Ocean region. The Large Gas Tanker Division secured stable revenues through the steady operation of LPG tankers as well as by keeping its LNG tankers deployed on existing medium- to long-term contracts. The Bulk Carrier Division succeeded in securing the earnings it initially expected. Although navigation became less profitable as handy vessel freight rates weakened due to a decline in transport volume in Southeast Asia waters, in addition to steady utilization of vessels hired to transporting thermal coal and woodchips, the division increased the profitability of the bulk carrier fleet, including the deployment of Panamax vessels on contracts of affreightment. As a result, the Oceangoing Shipping segment posted an operating profit of 1323 million (up 156.6% year on year) on revenues of 20,171 million (up 10.3% year on year). (2) Regional Shipping In domestic transport, LPG transport volume declined as demand receded due to higher temperatures. In petrochemical gas transport, despite operation stoppages at some facilities and multiple plants undergoing periodic repairs, other plants maintained high operating rates, ensuring firm domestic transport volume of petrochemical gases. In international short-haul transport, demand in China and the rest of Asia remained weak, while transport volume declined in conjunction with a number of plants in the region undergoing periodic repairs one after another. These factors, along with the deterioration of the tonnage supply-demand balance due to the completion of newbuilds, resulted in a softening of freight rates. 5

6 Amid this environment, on the domestic transport side, on the domestic transport side, in LPG the division worked to maintain utilization levels through dedicated vessels based on contracts with freight owners, while also booking spot cargo with free vessels, but utilization levels weakened as demand dropped towards the summer months. In petrochemical gas, utilization levels were good due to robust transport volume. Also, the fleet was rejuvenated during the period, as the division began chartering newbuilds as an alternative to superannuated vessels, and disposed of superannuated vessels. Meanwhile, in the international short-haul market, the segment worked to earn stable revenues by deploying most of the fleet on medium- to long-term contracts. The contracts of some vessels with expiring contract terms were renewed despite the impact of softening freight rates, and generally stable revenues were secured overall. As a result, the Regional Shipping Segment earned operating profit of 171 million (up 51.0% year on year) on revenues of 2,397 million (up 8.1% year on year). (3) Real Estate In the central Tokyo office building leasing market, signs hinting at economic growth, including business expansion and office location upgrades by companies, resulted in many new office buildings being completed with high occupancy rates and robust demand for existing office buildings. This in turn led to a decline in vacancy rates. Amid this environment, relatively new buildings and some buildings with high-grade specifications saw an increase in rent levels, but an overall improvement in rent levels failed to materialize due to the tough battle for tenants among office buildings. In the hall and conference room business, there are a large number of competing venues, and all facilities continued to compete fiercely with one another, including to tie down customers. In the photo studio business of the real estate related business, advertising-related demand is recovering, but magazine sales continued to languish, and photo shoots by publishers were at low levels, both in terms of the number of photo shoots and average sales per customer. Amid this environment, in the office leasing business, stable utilization with full 6

7 occupancy was maintained by providing quality tenant services at buildings that the Company owns. The hall and conference room business worked to maintain its utilization level by proactively attracting seminars, lectures, sneak previews of movies and other events. Despite the continued challenging business environment surrounding the studio segment, Iino Mediapro Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the studio-related business, maintained strong utilization levels as there were new orders in the location, photo retouching and production segments. As a result, the Real Estate Segment earned operating profit of 972 million (down 6.5% year on year) on revenues of 2,883 million (up 2.2% year on year). 2. Consolidated Financial Position Total assets at the end of the fiscal first quarter (June 30, 2014) were 221,722 million, an decline of 3,590 million from March 31, The decline was mainly attributable to a drop in cash and deposits. Liabilities totaled 161,547 million, at June 30, 2014, a decline of 5,197 million from March 31, The decline was mainly attributable to a drop in borrowings. Net assets totaled 60,175 million at June 30, 2014, an increase of 1,607 million from March 31, The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in retained earnings. 3. Outlook for the Full Year ending March 31, 2015 (Fiscal 2014) The Company s revenues and profits in the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, were higher than expected at the time of the previous announcement (April 30, 2014). However, the Company has lowered its outlook for bulk carrier freight rates in the Oceangoing Shipping segment, and has revised its outlook for bunker oil prices. Consequently, the Company has raised its forecast for revenues and profits for the six-month period ending September 30, 2014, as compared to the previously announced forecast, but no changes have been made to the Company s full-year earnings outlook. 7
