ALCONIX CORPORATION (3036) Financial Results for the First Quarter of FY3/23

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the economic situation in Japan and overseas remained generally uncertain. On one hand, there was movement towards a normalization of economic activity as measures to slow down the spread of COVID-19 continued. On the other, there was the impact of the lockdown triggered by the renewed upturn in the number of COVID-19 infections in China, the prolongation of the crisis in Ukraine, rising raw material and resource prices, and the rapid depreciation of the yen, among other factors.

In the business sectors in which the ALCONIX Group operates, demand for semiconductors and electronic components across a wide range of applications remained firm throughout the first quarter of the current fiscal year. In the automobile industry, while demand for materials and components continued to grow due to progress in the development of electric vehicles, and vehicle weight reductions, etc., factors including the impact of the lockdown in China and production cuts and production adjustments by customers due to delays in the procurement of semiconductor components and other products resulted in a decrease in demand.

In this economic environment, the ALCONIX Group's transaction volumes of metal processing parts for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, electronic and battery materials for IT products, copper products and aluminum rolled products increased compared to the same period a year earlier due to the steady growth in semiconductor-related demand. On the other hand, handling volumes of metal precision-stamped parts, carbon brushes and non-ferrous materials decreased due to a decline in domestic and overseas automobile-related demand. Higher sales mainly in electronic and advanced materials, and manufacturing equipment and materials contributed to an increase in earnings in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

Major results for the for the first quarter of fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 were as follows.

Business segment performance was as follows, with sales in each segment including inter-segment sales.

Handling volumes of electronic components and rechargeable battery materials increased compared to the same period a year earlier due to increased demand across a wide range of applications, despite negative factors such as the lockdown in China and a slowdown in smartphone-related demand. Furthermore, sales and profits for minor metals and rare earths increased from the same period a year earlier, partly due to higher market prices, although handling volumes showed a slight decline as the demand associated with the automobile industry decreased.

ALCONIX CORPORATION (3036) Financial Results for the First Quarter of FY3/23

In the non-ferrous products category, the transaction volume of rolled aluminum products and copper products, backed by increased demand for semiconductors and electronic components and solid domestic construction demand, was higher than the same period a year earlier. In the non-ferrous raw materials sector, handling volumes of mainstay copper and aluminum scrap and recycled aluminum ingots were lower than in the same period of the previous year, partly due to a decline in automobile demand. Handling volumes of the recycled aluminum ingots increased from the same period a year earlier due to rising non-ferrous metals prices and the sharp depreciation of the yen.

In the materials category, shipments of plating materials increased significantly compared to the same period a year earlier due to increased demand in both the United States and China, while shipments of carbon brushes decreased due to a decline in demand for automobiles. In the equipment sector, shipments of consumable materials such as flaw detection agents and paints remained firm both in Japan and abroad, and increased compared to the same period a year earlier. On the other hand, due to a slowdown in the production of consumer durables such as automobiles, shipments of large items of equipment for both non-destructive testing and marking applications decreased compared to the same period a year earlier.

Shipments of precision grinding processing parts were lower compared to the same period a year earlier, partly due to the impact of delays in the procurement of components, including semiconductors. Shipments of precision machining processing parts for semiconductor manufacturing equipment remained firm due to continuing growth in demand for semiconductors. Furthermore, shipments of metal precision stamped parts were lower compared to the same period a year earlier due to a decline in demand in the automobile industry both in Japan and overseas. On the other hand, shipments of metal processed parts for air-conditioning equipment increased from the same period a year earlier due to firm shipments for air-conditioning equipment in Japan.

At the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year, current assets totaled 146,572 million yen, an increase of 11,452 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors were a 7,818 million yen increase in notes and accounts receivable-trade, a 3,077 million yen increase in inventories and a 44 million yen decrease in cash and deposits.

Non-current assets totaled 43,151 million yen, an increase of 1,833 million yen. The main factors were a 1,735 million yen increase in property, plant and equipment resulting from the inclusion of Jupiter Industry Co., Ltd. and its overseas subsidiaries in the consolidation and capital investment, a 199 million yen increase in investments and other assets and a decrease of 101 million yen in intangible assets due to amortization.

Current liabilities totaled 105,979 million yen, an increase of 11,335 million yen.
