Qualitative Information Regarding Consolidated Results for the Six Months
- Information regarding operating results (Six months ended June 30, 2022)
- Overview
The global economy made progress toward the normalization of socioeconomic activities in major countries amid the spread of the novel coronavirus disease. At the same time, the risk of an economic downturn has been increasing due to rising raw material and fuel prices, supply constraints, etc., and the outlook has become increasingly uncertain. In the domestic economy, although there were signs of improvement in corporate earnings and personal consumption, there was a rapid weakening of the yen, in addition to the rise in raw material and fuel prices, leading to an increase in the prices of commodities.
Under these circumstances, net sales for the first half of the fiscal year (from January 1 to June 30, 2022) exceeded those of the same period of the previous fiscal year (from January 1 to June 30, 2021) due to strong performance of glass fiber, heat-resistant glass and other products despite a significant slowdown for glass for flat panel displays (FPDs) due to the impact of inventory adjustments by customers in the second quarter of the fiscal year (from April 1 to June 30, 2022).
In terms of profit/loss, both operating profit and ordinary profit exceeded those of the same period of the previous fiscal year. Profit attributable to owners of parent was significantly higher than that of the same period of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in ordinary profit, along with the recording of insurance claim income, etc.
As a change in accounting policy, "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020) and relevant revised ASBJ regulations has been applied from the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. As a result, year on year comparisons are based on figures calculated using different standards.

(Net sales)
Electronic and Information Technology:
Although sales of glass for FPDs, mainly for 10.5 generation size glass, were strong in the first quarter of the fiscal year (from January 1 to March 31, 2022), sales were sluggish in the second quarter due to the impact of inventory adjustments by customers. Demand for glass for optical and electronic devices remained strong for use in home appliances, semiconductors, and auto parts. As a result, net sales of Electronics and Information Technology increased from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Performance Materials and Others:
For glass fiber, product price revisions progressed amid firm demand mainly for high- performance resin used in auto parts. Heat-resistant glass continued to enjoy robust demand overseas, and domestic demand also recovered in the second quarter. Sales of glass tubing for pharmaceutical and medical use and glass for building materials were also firm. As a result, sales of Performance Materials and Others exceeded those of the same period of the previous fiscal year.
(Profit/loss)
In addition to the increase in net sales, operating profit exceeded that of the same period of the previous fiscal year as a result of the Company's ability to limit the impact of increased costs, primarily for raw materials and fuel, mainly by reflecting some of the cost increases in product prices. Ordinary profit was also higher than that of the same period of the previous fiscal year mainly due to an increase in foreign exchange gains attributable to revaluation of receivables and payables related to borrowings of overseas subsidiaries in non-operating income. Profit attributable to owners of parent was significantly higher than that of the same period of the previous fiscal year mainly due to the above factors contributing to increased profits as well as the recording of extraordinary income on insurance claim income related to power outages at domestic plants in 2020.

The outlook for the global economy is expected to remain uncertain mainly due to the impact of accelerating inflation and geopolitical risks. For glass for FPDs, it is expected to take some time for capacity utilization rates of customers to recover. For glass fiber, demand for high-performance resin used in auto parts is forecast to weaken in the latter part of the second half of the fiscal year, but shipments for wind turbine blades for wind power generation and for household equipment and building material applications are expected to be strong. In terms of profit/loss, although we will need to closely monitor raw material and fuel prices, logistics costs, exchange rate trends and other factors, we will strive to maintain profitability by matching production to demand trends and through initiatives such as improvements in productivity and cost reductions.
In light of the above outlook, the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal
