Sales and Earnings Highlights

1

3

Sales were down 1.8% (-¥535 million) affected by a decline in sales in the semiconductor/liquid crystal market during the first half of FY3/20Sales in the water treatment market were strong, especially in the U.S., but total sales

decreased because of a sales downturn in the semiconductor/liquid crystal market during the first half of the fiscal year. Sales in this market started recovering in the second half

In the medical equipment market, sales decreased 2.0% (-¥102 million) as customers in Japan reduced their inventories. Sales were strong in China

U.S. sales increased 7.5% (+¥287 million)

The COVID-19 pandemic had an insignificant effect on FY3/20 sales

Operating profit was 9.6% lower (-¥223 million) than one year earlierEarnings benefited from cost cutting but total earnings decreased because of lower

sales and a higher cost of sales ratio.

A small decrease in profit attributable to owners of parentProfit from equity method investments decreased (-¥82 million) because of lower performance

of affiliates, mostly in Asia that mostly target the semiconductor/liquid crystal market

Gain on sales of investment securities of about ¥150 million

Profit attributable to owners of parent was down 1.9%. There was a reduction of approximately ¥100 million in corporate tax due to tax credits related to experimental research expenses

health management have been implemented

Normal operations at production bases in Japan (Saitama and Miharu plants) and no significant problems involving procurement activities

For sales activities, restrictions on some sales visits to customers

2 OverseasIn China, Hong Kong has been operating since Feb. 3 (end of Lunar New Year

holiday) and business sites in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing as well as the Guangdong knock-down plant have been operating since March 2 (Teleworking was used between the end of the holiday and restart of operations)

IWAKI America was certified by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a necessary business and has continued normal operation even after the stay-at-home orders was issued with implementing measures to protect employees from COVID-19

IWAKI Europe has implemented rotation shift work. In Asia, major group companies have been operating mainly by teleworking

4 FY3/21 Market Environment Assumptions

17

Japan Overseas

Water treatment market

• Firm demand for disinfectant related equipment due to an increased needs of disinfectant, etc.

• Increasing demand for remote controllers mainly due to telework and stay-at-home orders

• Sluggish demand in the water treatment plant category due to decline in investments

• Firm sales of pumps for ballast water control equipment• Temporary upturn in global demand involving disinfecting

Semiconductor/ liquid crystal market

• Soft demand at manufacturers of production devices in this market

• Signs of a resumption of capital expenditures for memory devices

Medical equipment market

• Expect small decline in 2Q in production of clinical testing equipment (immunology analyzers and biochemical analyzers)

• Firm demand for products used in endoscope sterilization equipment

• Slowing sales for dialysis equipment as production decreases due to market saturation

• Firm demand for clinical testing equipment in China (immunology analyzers and biochemical analyzers)

New energy market • Slowing sales in the rechargeable battery (lithium-ion) market• Big drop in household fuel cell production because of COVID-19

• Signs of resumption of investment in rechargeable batteries after COVID-19 infection spread has ceased

Chemicals market

• Steady demand related to development of value-added products

• Increasing investments by pharmaceutical companies for developing COVID-19 drugs

• Uncertainty about the procurement of raw materials, mainly in Asia, but signs of a resumption of investments in rechargeable battery materials after COVID-19 infection spread has ceased

Surface treatment equipment market

• Increasing demand for value-added electronic components used in automotive components, IoT applications and other markets

• Soft demand in the smartphone market

• Continuation of steady demand for electronic components used in automotive and telecommunication applications

• Soft demand at printed circuit board device manufacturers due to an effect of COVID-19

Market environment assumptions

*Bold indicates priority markets targeted for growth.*Red indicates negative outlooks.
