1. Overview of Operating Results

1. Operating Results for current consolidated fiscal year

For the current consolidated fiscal year, The Japanese economy shows movements of picking up as the severe situation due to the Novel Coronavirus is easing, despite appearance of new variants. Concerning short-term prospects, the economy is expected to show movements of picking up, supported by the effects of the policies and improvement in overseas economies while taking every measure against infectious diseases, and economic and social activities move toward normalization. However, full attention should be given to the further increase in downside risks due to rising raw material prices and fluctuations in the financial and capital markets and supply-side constraints while the uncertainties surrounding the state of affairs of Ukraine. Also, attention should be given to the effects of the Novel Coronavirus.

Although the market environment for our Group remains harsh due to increasingly fierce competition, we are striving to

In the System Segment, we have made efforts to increase the added value of our flagship products, Electronic Article Surveillance Systems, CCTV camera systems and Access Control Systems. We are promoting sales for Cloud-based Wireless LAN Systems and remote access products related to teleworking and are developing new markets for Retail Solutions such as RFID Systems and labor-saving systems, as well as Cloud-based services. We are expanding the Advanced Fire Protection System Business, which is operated in Thailand and the ASEAN region.

In the Device Segment, we have promoted sales mainly in the telecom infrastructure market area, industrial equipment market area centered on IoT, amusement market area and the automotive market area in the Electronic Business. In the Industrial Systems Business, we have focused on sales of Mechanical Components for the industrial equipment market such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which is expected to continue to grow, and residential equipment in North America, the ASEAN region and China, and the development of the automobile interior components market in Japan and overseas.

Under these circumstances, as for operating results in the current consolidated fiscal year cumulative period, sales increased by 0.9% YoY to 20,784 million yen, due to strong sales of electronic parts for 5G base stations, electronic parts for home printers in response to growth in teleworking, and mechanical parts for housing equipment in the United States.

In terms of profit and loss, operating income increased by 15.6% YoY to 1,024 million yen, thanks to improved gross profit margin on sales in addition to the above factors.

1. Future Outlook

For the current consolidated fiscal year, The Japanese economy shows movements of picking up as the severe situation due to the Novel Coronavirus is easing, despite appearance of new variants. Concerning short-term prospects, the economy is expected to show movements of picking up, supported by the effects of the policies and improvement in overseas economies while taking every measure against infectious diseases, and economic and social activities move toward normalization.

However, full attention should be given to the further increase in downside risks due to rising raw material prices and

fluctuations in the financial and capital markets and supply-side constraints while the uncertainties surrounding the state of affairs of Ukraine. Also, attention should be given to the effects of the Novel Coronavirus.

Under such conditions, on February 8, 2022, we announced, "Challenges for Creation: Creating new value in a new normal era towards 100th anniversary" the new medium-term management plan for the period through FY 2024. We plan to make progress toward further business growth under the basic policy of " Concentrating on high value-added businesses transformation" and "Creating new value by strengthening the management base."

In addition, beginning with the period covered by this new medium-term management plan we will separate the cloud services and maintenance businesses from the System Segment, as growth businesses, migrating them to the new Cloud Service & Support segment. This change is intended to reflect their growth potential and profit potential.

In the System Segment, for the retail industry, we will strive to promote sales of store security systems such as Electronic article surveillance systems and facial recognition systems, as well as smart store applications applying RFID and imaging AI analysis technologies, which are effective labor-saving measures for improving store operation efficiency and complementing staffing shortages. For office use, we will focus on expanding sales of network security systems for cloud-basedWi-Fi LAN networks and secure, reliable remote access, in respond to market growth in the cloud business, as well as access control systems for the data center, for which demand is expected to growth even further. As for global business, we will make efforts to win deals steadily for fire protection systems for power plants related to a growth in demand for power in the ASEAN region.

In the new Cloud Service & Support segment, we will enhance further sales-expansion efforts for the MSP services business, which employs a subscription model, to realize a shift from product sales to service sales.

With regard to the Device Segment, we will strive to develop the industrial equipment market area centered on the telecommunications infrastructure market, Semiconductor manufacturing equipment sector, as well as the solutions business fusing software with sensors and other products, in the Electronics Business. In the Industrial Systems Business, we will promote the sales in the digital industrial machinery field, where growth is projected, and high-value-added unit products for the housing equipment market in China and capture the U.S. market.

Based on the above, we forecast net sales of 22.5 billion yen, ordinary income of 1.3 billion yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent of 920 million yen.
