Review of Operations

1. Review of Operations

In this consolidated cumulative second quarter, it has gradually risen on growing expectations of the United States economic recovery due to a rising trend of capital investment and personal consumption. The European financial market turmoil has also regained stability and generally recovered. Meanwhile, emerging markets including China and South-East Asian countries has been under an uncertain condition because of concerns over slowdown in growth and frequent political unrest.

In the Japanese economy, market has generally recovered due to improvement of income environment by turnaround of corporate performance, depreciation of the yen and rising stock prices led by economic and fiscal policy of 'Abenomics'. However, the economic condition has still been uncertain because of reverse effect caused by a last-minute surge in demand due to the consumption tax hike, slowdown growth of export due to a stagnation of emerging markets and a high level price of raw materials from yen depreciation.

Under the uncertain market condition, the MARUWA Group's business results during this quarter has stayed firm especially in ceramic products for power modules related to energy-savings and environment which are one of our differentiated products in the ceramic components division. On the other hand, in the lighting equipment division, the plans of construction period will be delayed after the fiscal year and it seems to be difficult to achieve the prior forecast. This is because of soaring of personnel expense and material price due to the increase of demand for construction (i.g. reconstruction demand for Tohoku and facility maintenance for Tokyo Olympics).

The forecast of this fiscal year, however, remains unchanged from the prior forecast because it is expected to continue to steadily increase in the ceramic components division.

As a result, our consolidated sales were 15,821 million yen (increase 3.1% year on year). Our operating income was 1,271 million yen (decrease 3.3% year on year). Ordinary profit was 1,508 million yen (increase 8.1% year on year). Net income was 756 million yen (decrease 30.1% year on year).

2.Operating Results by Business Division

The Ceramic Components Division

The total sales for this business segment was 11,125 million yen (increase 7.6% year on year).

Markets related to energy-saving and environment are still brisk and the sales of ceramic products for HEV and LED remained strong.

Operating income was 1,997 million yen (increase 2.1% year on year).

Lighting Equipment Division

The total sales for this business segment was 4,696 million yen (decrease 6.1% year on year).

The profit, we push forward constitution reinforcement of YAMAGIWA and result comes out smoothly. The recording of sales will be delayed because construction plans were delayed while orders were increased. An operating loss was 236 million yen (decrease 20.5% year on year).

Regarding profits, we are further strengthening the structure of YAMAGIWA and it steadily produces results. We will continue to develop and expand sales of ceramic LED modules and lighting equipment.
