Review of Operations

1. Review of Operations

In this consolidated cumulative third quarter, it has gradually risen on growing expectations of the United States economic recovery due to a rising trend of capital investment and personal consumption. The European financial market, momentum of recovery and slow improvement of debt problem has become a weak standstill. Meanwhile, emerging markets including China and South-East Asian countries has been under an uncertain condition because of concerns over slowdown in growth and frequent political unrest.

In the Japanese economy, market has generally recovered due to improvement of income environment by turnaround of corporate performance, depreciation of the yen and rising stock prices led by economic and fiscal policy of 'Abenomics'. However, the economic condition has still been uncertain because of reverse effect caused by a last-minute surge in demand due to the consumption tax hike, slowdown growth of export due to a stagnation of emerging markets and a high level price of raw materials from yen depreciation.

Under the uncertain market condition, the MARUWA Group's business results during this quarter has stayed firm especially in ceramic products for power modules related to energy-savings and environment which are one of our differentiated products in the ceramic components division. On the other hand, in the lighting equipment division, the plans of construction period will be delayed after the fiscal year and it seems to be difficult to achieve the prior forecast. This is because of soaring of personnel expense and material price due to the increase of demand for construction (i.g. reconstruction demand for Tohoku and facility maintenance for Tokyo Olympics).

The forecast of this fiscal year, however, remains unchanged from the prior forecast because it is expected to continue to steadily increase in the ceramic components division.

As a result, our consolidated sales were 24,227 million yen (increase 0.3% year on year). Our operating income was 2,002 million yen (decrease 13.8% year on year). Ordinary profit was 2,494 million yen (decrease 6.9% year on year). Net income was 1,390 million yen (decrease 26.4% year on year).

2.Operating Results by Business Division

The Ceramic Components Division

The total sales for this business segment was 16,328 million yen (increase 2.9% year on year).

Markets related to energy-saving and environment are still brisk and the sales of ceramic products for HEV and LED remained strong.

About the profit side, we perform reviews of stock for the profitability improvement and the production facility with business withdrawal or a decrease in production of the communication terminal business in the main customer. Operating income was 2,748 million yen (decrease 7.1% year on year).

Lighting Equipment Division

The total sales for this business segment was 7,900 million yen (decrease 4.6% year on year).

We released new LED road lights and pushed forward active sales activities, but the high value-added illumination of YAMAGIWA decreased by having been behind the original order plan.

The profit, we push forward constitution reinforcement of YAMAGIWA and result comes out smoothly. An operating loss was 72 million yen.

We will make efforts in the rebuilding of the sales strategy which kept the strength of development, release and the product of the new illumination apparatus using ceramic LED module and them which let a ceramic technology cultivated in our group fuse alive in future.
