1. Overview of Operating Results

1-1. Overview of the First Quarter, FY2022

Management environment

The contents on this page are based on estimates by Hitachi Metals, Ltd. which reference various materials.

  1. While there are signs of material prices peaking out of the surge, prices remained high due to the impact of the depreciation of the yen to its lowest level in decades
  2. The impact of shortage in components and materials as well as international logistics disruption continued
  3. The uncertain situation of the outlook for the demand continued, including the spread of COVID-19 and the situation in Ukraine

Revenues

  1. Increased year on year due to the impact from a rise in raw material prices (sliding-scale rate material price system) and the depreciation of the yen.
  2. Trends in business fields (YoY)

[Automobiles]

As for volume trends by product group, while the volume increased for automotive casting

products due to demand recovery in the North American market, the volume decreased for

Industrial equipment materials, magnetic materials, and automotive electronic components

due to the impact of production adjustments by automobile manufacturers reflecting

semiconductor shortages and China's lockdowns, among other factors.

[Aircraft]

Demand related to small- and medium-sized passenger aircraft rebounded significantly.

[FA / robots]

Capital expenditure demand related to manufacturing, mainly for automobiles and

semiconductors, increased.

[Semiconductors]

Demand for use in telecommunications equipment and automobiles increased

Adjusted operating income / Net income*

Adjusted operating income and net income increased by ¥3.3 billion and ¥12.1 billion, respectively, year on year, reflecting a rise in profit as a result of cost reduction measures and the depreciation of the yen, despite a decline in profit due to revenues, sales portfolio, etc. as well as soaring raw material prices and electricity and transportation costs.

Sales prices are being revised in response to an increase in expenses and energy cost due to soaring resource

prices.
