Explanation of Operating Results
During the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, there was a recovery trend continuing in the world economy overall, as in the United States, recovery signs continued against a backdrop of strong domestic demand. Meanwhile, due to the renewed spread of COVID-19, as well as inflation due to supply constraints, the recovery momentum weakened in some countries and regions.
In the Japanese economy, with the progress of vaccinations, at one time the number of new cases of COVID-19 had declined and there were signs of recovery. Recently, however, the number of new infections again increased, and the outlook continued to be uncertain.
In this business environment, the Group has been working hard to implement the medium- to long-term management plan, and the Company's consolidated earnings for the first nine months under review, as compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, were as follows: Net sales were ¥1,359.5 billion, up ¥436.3 billion (47.3%). Operating profit was ¥33.3 billion, up ¥18.1 billion (119.4%) and ordinary profit was ¥37.0 billion, up ¥19.6 billion (113.1%). Profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥25.5 billion, up ¥15.3 billion (149.2%).
Earnings for reportable segments are as below.
(Steel)
In the Steel business, net sales increased by 55.0%, or ¥405.2 billion year on year, to ¥1,142.2 billion, and ordinary profit increased by 141.6%, or ¥18.9 billion, to ¥32.3 billion, thanks to gradually improved domestic steel demand in general in addition to implementation of measures under the medium- to long-term management plan, and also to higher steel prices in and outside Japan.
(Industrial Supply and Infrastructure)
In the Industrial Supply and Infrastructure business, mainly due to an earnings improvement at subsidiaries and associates in and outside Japan, net sales increased by 44.6%, or ¥19.8 billion year on year, to ¥64.3 billion, and ordinary profit rose by 94.6%, or ¥1,300 million, to ¥2,700 million.
(Textiles)
In the Textiles business, the management environment remained harsh due to impact of COVID-19, with intermittent reinstatement of the state of emergency. Moreover, there was a significant decline in the operating rates at production plants due to lockdown measures in ASEAN countries, and there was also the impact of cost increases due to the transfer of production to other regions with shorter delivery periods, resulting in an ordinary loss of ¥700 million.
(Foodstuffs)
In the Foodstuffs business, due to solid performance of our mainstay meat sales business, etc., net sales increased by 15.4%, or ¥10.7 billion year on year, to ¥80.6 billion, and ordinary profit increased by 37.4%, or ¥600 million, to ¥2,500 million. - Explanation of Financial Position
Total assets at the end of the third quarter under review increased by ¥219.8 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,103.1 billion, due to an increase in notes and accounts receivable - trade and inventories, despite a decrease in cash and deposits.
