1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Financial Results

(1) Explanation of Business Results

During the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, the domestic total crude steel output in the steel industry, the Group's main customers, decreased by 5.6% year on year, to 22.99 million tons. The global crude steel output from January to June 2022 also decreased by 5.5% year on year, to 949.40 million tons.

Despite this business environment, the Group's consolidated net sales for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 increased 27.0% from a year earlier to ¥40,292 million. This was mainly attributable to the efforts to pass increases in raw material and other costs on to selling prices, and sales expansion by overseas subsidiaries, in the Refractories segment.

Primarily due to the increase in net sales, the Group's consolidated operating profit for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 increased 29.3% from a year earlier to ¥2,940 million, ordinary profit increased 46.3% to ¥3,429 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent increased 41.6% to ¥2,148 million.

Operating results by business segment are as follows.

The net sales of each segment represent sales to external customers and do not include inter-segment sales or transfers. The amounts of segment profit (loss) are based on operating profit (loss).

[Refractories]

Net sales in the Refractories segment increased by 31.5% from a year earlier to ¥34,502 million. This was mainly attributable to the efforts to pass increases in raw material and other costs on to selling prices and sales expansion by overseas subsidiaries, especially those in India and Europe. Primarily due to the net sales increase, segment profit increased by 41.1% from a year earlier to ¥2,298 million.

[Furnace]

Net sales in the Furnace segment increased by 10.8% from a year earlier to ¥3,437 million owing to orders received for large-scale construction projects. Primarily due to the net sales increase and cost reductions, segment profit increased by 39.2% from a year earlier to ¥208 million.

[Ceramics]

Net sales in the Ceramics segment decreased by 1.1% from a year earlier to ¥1,983 million. This was mainly because, although demand for ceramic materials for electronic components was strong, sales of thermal insulation materials for fuel cells declined owing to the impact of China's COVID-19 lockdowns. Segment profit decreased by 11.0% from a year earlier to ¥300 million due to the decrease in net sales and a falling proportion of high value-added products in the sales mix.

[Real Estate]

Net sales in the Real Estate segment remained unchanged from a year earlier at ¥184 million. Segment profit increased by 1.1% from a year earlier to ¥150 million.

[Others]

Net sales in Others segment decreased by 4.2% from a year earlier to ¥183 million. Segment loss was ¥21 million (compared with a segment profit of ¥15 million for the same period in the previous fiscal year).
