Qualitative Information Regarding Consolidated Results for the Nine Months

1. Information regarding operating results (Nine months ended September 30, 2022)

1. Overview

In the second quarter of the fiscal year (from April 1 to June 30, 2022) and thereafter, shipments of glass for flat panel displays (FPDs) fell significantly due to the impact of inventory adjustments by customers, but for other products the weakening yen pushed up yen-denominated sales. In glass fiber, we made progress in revising prices and levying surcharges aimed at recovering distribution and energy costs. Shipments of heat-resistant glass and glass tubing for pharmaceutical and medical use increased. As a result, net sales exceeded those of the same period of the previous fiscal year (from January 1 to September 30, 2021).

Operating profit fell below the levels in the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the impact of soaring raw material and fuel prices and the effect of lower capacity utilization rates for glass for FPDs, but ordinary profit exceeded those of the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly as a result of increases in foreign exchange gains. 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 have 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)

Electronics 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), shipments have fallen significantly

since the beginning of the second quarter due to the impact of inventory adjustments by customers. Demand for glass for optical and electronic devices remained strong mainly for use in semiconductors. As a result, sales in Electronics and Information Technology increased only slightly compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Performance Materials and Others:

From the beginning of the third quarter (from July 1 to September 30, 2022), glass fiber demand weakened mainly for high-performance resin used in auto parts, but sales were supported by revisions to product prices and the levying of surcharges aimed at recovering distribution and energy costs in addition to the weaker yen. Heat-resistant glass saw continued robust demand. Glass tubing for pharmaceutical and medical use also recorded strong sales. As a result, sales of Performance Materials and Others significantly exceeded those of the same period of the previous fiscal year.

(Profit/loss)

With raw material and fuel prices and distribution expenses soaring, and the progressive weakening of the yen pushing up costs, we strengthened efforts to reduce expenses, improve productivity, among other initiatives, and made progress in revising product prices and levying various surcharges. Nevertheless, the impact of rising costs due to lower capacity utilization rates for glass for FPDs was significant, and operating profit fell below the levels in the same period of the previous fiscal year. On the other hand, ordinary profit was 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 an increase in ordinary profit, as well as the recording of extraordinary income on insurance claim income related to power outages at domestic plants in 2020.

Note: Amounts less than 100 million yen are omitted.

Due to accelerating inflation, the impact of geopolitical risks and other factors, the outlook for the global economy remains uncertain, and we believe that a recovery in capacity utilization rates at customers for glass for FPDs will require time. Demand for glass fiber is weak, mainly in high- performance resin used in auto parts, but we expect the weaker yen and other factors to provide support for sales. We expect firm demand of other products such as heat-resistant glass and glass tubing for pharmaceutical and medical use to continue, and shipments to remain strong. As a result, we have left our net sales forecast unchanged from that of the previous announcement (February 2, 2022).

Conversely, soaring raw material and fuel prices and rising costs resulting from the weaker yen are expected to put further pressure on profits. As well as continuing to reduce expenses, improve productivity, and tailor capacity utilization to demand trends, we will strive to maintain profitability
