Qualitative information on consolidated results
In the first three months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, the Japanese economy continued to recover at a moderate pace, supported by improving corporate earnings and employment conditions, despite some signs of weakness in consumer spending. However, the outlook remained unclear due to concerns about labor shortages in the Japanese economy and rising uncertainties in overseas economies.
Against this backdrop, the Matsuda Sangyo Group's precious metals business segment increased the use of production sites in Japan and overseas and stepped up marketing activities, while also working to secure precious metals materials, boost sales of products such as precious metal chemical products and expand its industrial waste treatment outsourcing business. The food business segment worked hard to develop and provide products that address customer needs and actively implemented marketing activities, which included expanding the use of overseas business, as well as domestic business sites, in order to increase sales volume.
As a result of the above, for the first three months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, consolidated net sales were ¥45,721 million (up 17.8% year on year), operating income was ¥1,055 million (up 99.5% year on year), ordinary income was ¥1,156 million (up 113.6% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥761 million (up 130.8% year on year).
Performance in the Matsuda Sangyo Group's business segments was as follows.
Precious metals business segment
In the precious metals division, production at key customers in the electronics sector was strong overall, centered on electronic parts and devices. Against this backdrop, the volume of precious metal recycling and industrial waste treatment handled by the Group's precious metals division increased year on year. Despite a drop in sales volume for silver products due to factors such as a contracting market in the photosensitive materials sector, sales volume for precious metals products and electronic materials increased and the price of precious metals rose. As a result, sales overall were higher than in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
As a result, net sales for the precious metals business segment totaled ¥28,688 million (up 17.6% year on year), and operating income was ¥613 million (up 64.2% year on year).
Food business segment
In the food business segment, production activity in the food processing sector was solid overall supported partly by rising exports, despite sluggish growth in consumer spending in Japan. In this environment, prices for surimi fish paste dropped and sales volume for agricultural products declined. However, sales volume increased for seafood products and livestock products, leading to higher sales compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year.
As a result, net sales for the food business segment were ¥17,047 million (up 18.1% year on year), and operating income was ¥442 million (up 184.6% year on year).

Assets, liabilities and net assets
Total assets
Total assets as of the end of the first three months were ¥74,127 million, an increase of ¥1,412 million from the previous fiscal year end. This mainly reflected increases in notes and accounts receivable - trade and inventories.
Liabilities
Total liabilities as of the end of the first three months were ¥20,355 million, an increase of ¥1,058 million from the previous fiscal year end. This mainly reflected an increase in loans.
Net assets
Net assets as of the end of the first three months were ¥53,772 million, an increase of ¥353 million from the previous fiscal year end. This mainly reflected a decrease due to year-end cash dividends paid, outweighed by an increase in retained earnings.
