RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION (SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018) 1. Analysis of Operating Results (1) Overview of Results During the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Japanese economy showed continued favorable trend overall, while there were concerns including trade conflicts the United States and China and the market trend of the share price. The capital investment increased, and the industrial production continued a moderate upward trend including a year-over-year growth in domestic demand for machine tools according to the Statistics of Orders Received for Machine Tools. Meanwhile, the construction industry remained steady, while demand for the steel frame building was almost flat due to short of labor and some supplies. Under this environment, this fiscal year is the middle-year of the medium-term management plan, Design the Future 2020. We recognize this is a key point to achieve the target in the year ending March 31, 2020, and we take actions considering steady progress of each measure. During the period under review, consolidated net sales increased by 8.3% year over year to 51,343 million due to continued sales growth in all segments following the first quarter of FY2018. Gross profit increased by 11.3% year over year to 7,235 million based on improved profitability. Operating income increased by 37.7% year over year to 1,677 million due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses by 5.3% year over year. Ordinary income increased by 36.5% year over year to 1,882 million. Consequently, net income attributable to owners of parent was 1,236 million, up 42.6% year over year. Analysis of Results by Segment Equipment and Tools Segment In the Equipment and Tools Segment, the Industrial Equipment Business increased by 4.4% year over year and the Machine and Tools for Automotive Business increased by 15.2% year over year due mainly to a continued recovery in the Index of Industrial Production.

Overall operating income was 597 million, up 31.4% year over year.

Accordingly, overall net sales increased by 14.0% year over year to 10,562 million. Overall operating income was 160 million, down 15.7% year over year due mainly to recording the provision of allowance for doubtful accounts under selling, general and administrative expenses. Construction and Piping Products Segment In the Construction and Piping Products Segment, the Steel Frame Building Supplies Business increased by 14.4% year over year, based on favorable demand for steel frame buildings and continued price hike of steel products while the Piping Products Business increased by 4.5% year over year.
