Consolidated Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022

1. Business Performance

1. Review of Business Performance a. General Summary of Results

The global economy during the consolidated fiscal year under review experienced a general recovery in activities that had been stagnant due to the spread of COVID-19, as regulations were eliminated or eased in response to the progress of a third round of vaccinations across various countries. Throughout the year, uncertainty intensified due to soaring raw materials prices, the impact of semiconductor shortages, ongoing logistics disruptions, and the escalation of the situation in Ukraine. However, it was also a year in which many felt we were entering an era of the new normal.

Among the regions where the NAGASE Group operates, economic activity remained strong particularly in Greater China, which demonstrated a significant recovery. In North America, recovery in employment and expansion of personal consumption resulted in stabilized economic activity overall. In Japan, corporate earnings improved; however, measures to prevent infections had a limiting effect on personal consumption and failed to generate a significant economic recovery.

In this environment, the NAGASE Group contributed to the maintenance of supply chains in related industries and experienced earnings growth. As a result of the preceding, earnings for the current consolidated fiscal year were as follows.

(Millions of yen)

	Prior Consolidated	Current Consolidated
	Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year	Change	Change (%)
	(March 31, 2021)	(March 31, 2022)
Net sales	625,245	780,557	155,312	24.8
Gross profit	114,600	139,494	24,894	21.7
Operating income	21,916	35,263	13,346	60.9
Ordinary income	22,854	36,497	13,643	59.7
Profit before income taxes	29,272	39,557	10,284	35.1
Profit attributable to owners	18,829	25,939	7,109	37.8
of the parent

• At the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year, the Company adopted the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020). Indicators for the previous fiscal year reflect a retroactive application

of this accounting standard.

• For performance in the current fiscal year, higher profit in all segments resulted in all stages of profit below gross profit reaching record highs.
• Factors behind the higher profits were the recovery of the automobile-related business, which was greatly affected by COVID-19 in the first half of the prior consolidated fiscal year, the continued strong performance of the electronics-related business and resins business from the second half of the prior consolidated fiscal year, and performance of the Prinova Group in the Life & Healthcare Segment driving up profits. For details, see b. Segment Summary.
• Profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to ¥25.9 billion, up ¥7.1 billion, mainly due to the impact of loss on valuation of investment securities and impairment losses, despite an increase in ordinary income of ¥13.6 billion.
