Consolidated operating results The Japanese economy for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2009 further rose the specter of recession, because corporate profits were on a downward trend due to financial market turmoil stemming from subprime loan crisis, and rise in price of oil and raw materials. Flagging U.S. economy caused downturn in European economy which had been enjoying strong growth. In Asia, China continued high growth, but other countries such as South Korea and Taiwan showed downturn in economy. As economic circumstances surrounding us, worldwide downturn in economy, plastic materials and steel products hovering at a high level, and rise in personnel cost in Asian countries continued to be serious cause for concern. Under such an environment, we have been endeavoring to restructure organization, technology and human resources of our group companies at home and abroad to streamline operations, rationalize and further strengthen management. As part of business portfolio restructuring and concentration of management resources toward core business, we made Sanyo Chemical Co.,Ltd., consolidated subsidiary who has a high processing technology in injection molding/painting/sub-assembly of a wide variety of plastic products such as cell phone casings, equity method affiliate at the end of the previous fiscal year, and also made Munekata Co.,Ltd., consolidated subsidiary who has integrated production system from design/development to assembling products utilizing leading-edge 3D technology, and Mutual- Tek Industries Co.,Ltd., consolidated subsidiary who manufactures high-value added printed circuit board, equity method affiliate for the first half of the fiscal year. As a result, the consolidated sales volume for the first half of the fiscal year decreased to 169,237 million yen, by 8.5 % compared to the previous fiscal year. The consolidated operating income increased to 4,097millin yen by 19.3% compared to the previous year. The consolidated ordinary income increased to 3,592 million yen by 37.6% compared to the previous year, because exchange loss in the first quarter substantially decreased due to an adjustment of YEN appreciation in the second quarter and equity method investment gain was posted. In extraordinary gain or loss, we posted extraordinary gain for 1,520 million yen such as gain on sale of affiliated companies stocks for 1,004 million yen and fixed assets for 342 million yen, and on the other hand, we posted extraordinary loss for 1,952 million yen such as improvement cost for business structure for 972 million yen, impairment loss on fixed assets for 338 million yen and evaluation loss on inventory assets for 293 million yen. As a result, profit before tax amounted to 3,161 million yen, and profit after tax and reduction of minority interest share of subsidiary s loss amounted to 759 million yen. Segmental information by area is as follows. (Japan) In Japan, demands for development of consumer digital products such as flat TV set kept strong, but order volume decreased in the auto related tooling area because demands for development of auto related market took a round. As for cell phone and game machine, demands for development slowed down because it was in a period of change. As a result, sales volume and operating income were 63,460 million yen and 2,777 million yen, respectively. (North America) In North America, Canadian subsidiaries making Detroit s Big Three major clients suffered from poor business results due to escalating oil prices and a prolonged slump in auto sales stemming from subprime loan crisis. In tooling area, we have started in earnest, business evolution focusing on reinforcement of the cooperation with group companies. As a result, sales volume and operating income were 8,792 million yen and 132 million yen, respectively. (Europe) In Europe, the car market mainly for big cars suffered from poor business results due to turmoil in the U.S. financial markets and escalating oil prices. The car market for newly developing countries which offset a drop in sales in U.S. market began to decline. We have tried to decrease unprofitable transactions, although business performance in our transport machine related department of which major clients are European major car makers was affected. As a result, sales volume and operating income were 20,805 million yen and 86 million yen, respectively. (Asia) In Asia, demands for development of consumer digital products and transport machine related products continued strong in Thailand and India, but in other Asian countries, our business performances remained flat due to negative factors such as escalating oil prices and rise in personnel cost. As a result, sales volume and operating income were 76,178 million yen and 1,355 million yen, respectively. - 1 -
