1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, although the Covid-19 pandemic subsided gradually, the Japanese economy grappled with mounting inflationary pressure, compounded by surging global energy and raw material costs stemming from the prolonged Russia-Ukraine crisis. Consequently, the Japanese economy's outlook remained uncertain.

Amid these economic conditions, the Meisei Industrial Group received orders totaling 17,635 million yen (up 32.5% year on year) in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. This surge reflects the steady advancement in securing large projects in Japan in the construction business. Additionally, driven by a consistent overall performance, net sales reached 12,534 million yen (up 4.0% year on year), maintaining a level consistent with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Due to higher labor costs and raw material prices, operating profit was 812 million yen, (down 25.4% year on year), ordinary profit was 984 million yen (down 23.4% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 804 million yen (down 4.1% year on year).

Business segment performance was as follows.

1) Construction Business

Net sales totaled 11,090 million yen (up 2.7% year on year) as the overall construction business, including large projects and maintenance work, was steady. However, segment profit was 860 million yen (down 19.6% year on year) because of higher labor costs and raw material prices.

2) Boiler Business

Net sales totaled 1,444 million yen (up 15.5% year on year) because the progress in installation projects in Japan continued to be robust. However, there was a segment loss of 51 million yen (compared with segment profit of 16 million yen one year earlier) as the cost of sales was relatively higher due to revisions in the construction budget, among other factors.

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

Assets

At the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year, current assets totaled 54,267 million yen, a decrease of 1,406 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors include increases of 3,317 million yen in cash and deposits, 384 million yen in costs on construction contracts in progress , and a decrease of 5,386 million yen in notes receivable, accounts receivable from completed construction contracts and other. Non -current assets totaled 22,791 million yen, an increase of 957 million yen. The main factors include increases of 644 million yen in property, plant and equipment and 252 million yen in investment securities.

As a result, total assets decreased 449 million yen to 77,058 million yen.

Liabilities

At the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year, current liabilities totaled 13,836 million yen, a decrease of 220 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors include increases of 1,481 million yen in contract liabilities and 324 million yen in provision for bonuses, and a decrease of 1,129 million yen in notes payable, accounts payable for construction contracts and other. Non-current liabilities totaled 3,940 million yen, a decrease of 63 million yen. The main factors include decreases of 49 million yen in deferred tax liabilities and 15 million yen in retirement benefit liability .

As a result, total liabilities decreased 283 million yen to 17,776 million yen.
