Operating Results for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2023
During the first six months of 2023 (from January 1 to June 30), the global economy avoided a serious economic downturn regardless of the downward trend. This was due to positive factors such as the easing of supply constraints and the reopening of the Chinese economy, despite a decline in purchasing power due to inflation and high interest rates. The outlook although remains uncertain from the risk of heightened geopolitical tensions, including the intensifying conflict between the United States and China, the protracted crisis in Ukraine, and changes in monetary and fiscal policies in major countries.
Under these circumstances, in February this year, we announced the Group's rolling medium-term management plan "T-2025," which covers the three years from 2023 to 2025. Under the three basic policies of "Returning core businesses to a path of growth," "Optimizing the business portfolio (selection and concentration)," and "Establishing a sustainable management base," we aim to achieve net sales of 484 billion yen, operating income of 69 billion yen, ROS of 14%, and EBITDA of 113 billion yen as quantitative targets in 2025. Focusing on our core graphite electrode and carbon black businesses, we are working to ensure reasonable profits by adjusting the sales prices to cope with the increases in raw materials and other costs. We are steadily improving productivity and expanding production capacity in anticipation of future demand growth. With the aim of achieving carbon neutral, we are working to reduce CO2 emissions and exploring and investigating relevant technologies on a consolidated basis, mainly through the Carbon Neutral Committee, which was established in February 2022. .
As a result, net sales for the first six months of 2023 increased 13.6% year on year to 178,428 million yen. Operating income increased 30.0% year on year to 21,738 million yen. Ordinary income increased 24.0% year on year to 24,109 million yen. Quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent company increased 71.9% year on year to 15,904 million yen.
Results by business segment were as follows:
Graphite Electrodes
The global slowdown in the steel industry caused a decline in electric arc furnace operating rates in various regions. Sales volume of graphite electrodes decreased year on year. However, an increase in shipments of large- diameter electrodes mainly in North America resulted in higher average selling prices.
As a result, net sales for the Graphite Electrodes business increased 4.3% year on year to 30,407 million yen, and operating income increased 8.2% year on year to 3,164 million yen.
Carbon Black
Demand related to new vehicle recovered despite production adjustments by some tire manufacturers. Sales volume was at same level as the same period of the previous year. Sales and profit increased year on year due to the partial compensation of the depreciation charges on investments in environmental equipment resulting from price revisions mainly in the United States.
As a result, net sales for the Carbon Black business increased 15.9% year on year to 73,831 million yen, while operating income increased 125.1% year on year to 10,773 million yen.
Fine Carbon
Sales of components for semiconductor manufacturing equipment particularly for Solid SiC products were significantly affected by customers' inventory adjustments due to lower demand for smartphones and personal computers, as well as the prolonged impact of the U.S. policy toward China. On the other hand, shipments of products for power semiconductors and general industrial use remained firm.
