Summary of Consolidated Financial Results [Japanese GAAP]

For the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021

1. Qualitative Information Concerning Results for the First Quarter

(1) Analysis of Operating Results

During the first quarter of this consolidated fiscal year (April 1 to June 30, 2020), a rapid deceleration in the global economy was seen from restrictions on economic activity to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. The increase in people infected with the virus led to restrictions on overseas travel and stay-at-home restrictions in the U.S. and Europe from March onward, and economic activity stagnated as steps were taken to close stores and other businesses, leading to an even greater deceleration in the economy. In China, economic conditions remained severe despite the resumption of economic activity and consequent signs of recovery, owing to the impact of stagnant overseas demand, restrictions on economic activities, and other factors. The declaration of a State of Emergency by the Japanese government in light of the spread of the virus caused further slowing of consumer spending and corporate revenues, making the future of the Japanese economy uncertain.

Amid these conditions, the Nippon Kayaku Group worked to implement the key themes and resolve the mid- and long-term key issues outlined in "KAYAKU Next Stage," the mid-term business plan launched in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, while also making active use of staggered work, telecommuting, and other systems to accommodate the restrictions on corporate activity. We took these steps to ensure the safety of employees working in the Company and at Group companies while also implementing a new lifestyle and promote efficient workstyles aimed at minimizing the impact on our business.

As a result, net sales for the first quarter of this consolidated fiscal year totaled 36,825 million yen, a decrease of 6,067 million yen (14.1%) year-on-year. Sales in the pharmaceuticals business outperformed the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, while sales in the functional chemicals and the safety systems businesses declined.

Operating income totaled 2,773 million yen, a decrease of 1,970 million yen (41.5%) year-on-year, due to the decline in net sales.

Ordinary income totaled 2,984 million yen, a decrease of 1,610 million yen (35.1%) year-on-year.

Profit attributable to owners of parent was 1,748 million yen, a decrease of 1,373 million yen (44.0%) year-on-year.

Performance by business segment is as described below.

[Functional Chemicals Business]

Sales stood at 15,833 million yen, a decrease of 1,141 million yen (6.7%) year-on-year.

The functional materials business outperformed the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, despite a decline in vehicle-related sales. This resulted from strong sales of epoxy resins used in semiconductor encapsulation and circuit boards due to increased demand for IT equipment such as high-speed (5G) communications devices and PCs.

The color materials business underperformed the first quarter of the previous fiscal year due to slow sales of dyes for textiles due to the impact from the spread of the novel coronavirus. Sales of colorants for inkjet printers for consumer use were firm due to telecommuting.

The catalyst business outperformed the same period of the previous fiscal year, both in Japan and overseas.

The Polatechno Group saw slow sales of both dye-type polarizing films and components for X-ray analysis systems due to the impact from the spread of the novel coronavirus, underperforming the same period of the previous fiscal year.

The decline in sales of the color materials business and the Polatechno Group resulted in a 224 million yen (13.0%) decline in segment profit from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 1,504 million yen.

[Pharmaceuticals Business]

Sales stood at 12,690 million yen, an increase of 842 million yen (7.1%) year-on-year.

Pharmaceuticals in Japan were impacted by two drug price revisions in October 2019 and April 2020. Nevertheless, the segment outperformed the first quarter of the previous fiscal year as growth in sales contributed to performance due to the switch to biosimilars and generic drugs, and growth in the antibody biosimilars, TRASTUZUMAB BS and INFLIXIMAB BS, in particular. The new drug, APREPITANT capsules, also contributed to sales.

Although sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients and contract production for the Japanese domestic market underperformed the same period of the previous fiscal year, exports outperformed the same period of the previous fiscal year. Diagnostic agents underperformed the same period of the previous fiscal year, owing to the impact from the reduction in medical exams due to the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Segment profit was totaled 2,151 million yen, an increase of 75 million yen (3.6%) year-on-year.

[Safety Systems Business]

Sales stood at 6,301 million yen, a decrease of 5,643 million yen (47.2%) year-on-year.

Sales of airbag inflators, micro gas generators for seatbelt pretensioners, and squibs underperformed the first quarter of the previous fiscal year owing to the slump in the automotive market in all regions outside of China, including Japan, under the impact from the spread of the novel coronavirus.

A decline in sales due to the slump in the automotive market led to segment profit of 262 million yen, a decrease of 1,825 million yen (87.4%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

[Other]

Sales stood at 1,999 million yen, a decrease of 125 million yen (5.9%) year-on-year.

The agrochemicals business overall saw a year-on-year decline despite the year-on-year growth in domestic sales as exports underperformed the same period during the previous fiscal year.

Sales in real estate and other business increased compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. Segment profit totaled 507 million yen, an increase of 69 million yen (15.9%) year-on-year, owing to growth

sales for real estate and other businesses.

(2) Analysis of Financial Position

Status of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets

Total assets were 287,373 million yen, an increase of 8,876 million yen from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. The main increases were in securities, an increase of 5,292 million yen; investment securities, an increase of 2,809 million yen; and goodwill, an increase of 2,467 million yen. The main decrease was in cash and deposits, a decrease of 3,264 million yen.

Liabilities were 75,596 million yen, an increase of 7,119 million yen compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. The main increases were in short-term loans payable, an increase of 9,528 million yen; and deposits received (included in "other" under current liabilities), an increase of 857 million yen. The main decreases were in income taxes payable, a decrease of 2,451 million yen; and accrued expenses (included in "other" under current liabilities), a decrease of 862 million yen.

Net assets were 211,776 million yen, an increase of 1,757 million yen compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. The main increases were in unrealized holding gains on other securities, an increase of 1,943 million yen; and translation adjustments, an increase of 590 million yen. The main decrease was in retained earnings, a decrease of 813 million yen (a 2,561 million yen decrease from dividends paid and a 1,748 million yen increase in profit attributable to owners of parent).

(3) Analysis of Forward-looking Statements, Including Consolidated Business Forecasts

The future business environment surrounding the Nippon Kayaku Group still bears the risk of an economic slowdown despite signs of a recovery in the global economy, due to uncertainty over an economic downswing under the impact from the spread of the novel coronavirus and U.S.-China trade friction, among other factors. The Japanese economy is still feeling the impact from the spread of the novel coronavirus and is being supported by monetary easing and the benefits from economic measures implemented by the Japanese government, but is expected to gradually improve from the second half of 2020.

Under these conditions, the Nippon Kayaku Group will work to ascertain and respond globally to the changing conditions. We will endeavor to keep our employees safe, while also continuing efforts to minimize the significant impact of this infectious disease on the business results of the Nippon Kayaku Group. The Nippon Kayaku Group also aims to respond flexibly to changes in the business environment and pursue optimal use of operating capital to increase the shareholder value, as well as expand existing businesses in global growth markets, accelerate the development of new businesses and new products, and enhance profits.

The forecasts for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 announced on May 22, 2020 have been revised. See the disclosure today entitled, Notice of Revision to the Business Results Forecasts for the First Half of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021 for further details.

Moreover, because it is difficult to predict the impact that the spread of the novel coronavirus will have on performance for the full consolidated fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, the Company is not disclosing forecasts at present. We will disclose full-year forecasts once we have determined them.
