Overview of Operating Results, Etc.

(1) Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year under Review

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the "fiscal year under review"), the Japanese economy showed a gradual recovery as a result of steady trend of capital investment in addition to an improvement in consumer spending as socioeconomic activities suppressed by the COVID-19 pandemic started to go back to normal. However, there still remain some uncertainties about the future due to rising prices and exchange rate fluctuations.

Under these circumstances, Iwatani has been working on the basic policies of our medium-term management plan "PLAN23," which are "Enhancing strategic investment to establish a carbon-free society" and "Promotion of digitization."

To realize a carbon-free society, the Liquefied Hydrogen Supply Chain Commercialization Feasibility Study Project in which we participate selected an overseas hydrogen shipping site and a domestic hydrogen receiving site. We have thus made steady progress with our efforts to build a CO2-free hydrogen supply chain. In addition, we established a limited liability company with Cosmo Oil Marketing Co., Ltd. with the aim of building hydrogen-refueling stations for commercial fuel cell vehicles.

In the Integrated Energy Business, we expanded sales of products that support customers' decarbonization, such as carbon offset LPG. In addition, we calculated and announced the CO2 emissions from the entire supply chain of Iwatani Cassette Gas Canisters, including raw material procurement to disposal. We have thus pressed forward with our efforts to decarbonize LPG.

In the Industrial Gases & Machinery Business, in the field of regenerative medicine, we focused on acquiring new customers while advancing research on manufacture, transport, and cryogenic storage of cells at the Iwatani R&D Center. In the field of onshore aquaculture, we installed aquacultural research equipment in the Iwatani R&D Center in an effort to strengthen our capabilities to propose products.

In the Materials Business, for the purpose of expanding the metal processing business, we expanded our site in Thailand. We worked to increase production capacity and reduce CO2 emissions by reinforcing manufacturing facilities and installing solar panels.

As a result, for the fiscal year under review, net sales were 906.261 billion yen (+215.868 billion yen year-on- year), operating profit was 40.035 billion yen (-0.041 billion yen year-on-year), ordinary profit was 47.011 billion yen (+0.598 billion yen year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 32.022 billion yen (+2.057 billion yen year-on-year).
