1. Qualitative Information Concerning the Current Quarterly Settlement

The items related to the future contained in this document are decisions made based on present consolidated financial results as of the end of this quarter.

(1) Explanation of Business Results

In the consolidated first quarter under review, the spread of COVID-19 caused stagnation in various economic activities including corporate investment, thus causing the global economy to worsen rapidly. Afterwards, although there are signs of gradually resuming economic activities in each country, the situation remains extremely tough.

In the electronics industry, which is the primary area of business of the Sanshin Electronics Group, conditions were tough due to factors such as sluggish sales caused by the spread of COVID-19 in the automobile-related markets which are sales destinations for semiconductors and electronic components. In the ICT field in Japan, there was active investment for the development of remote working environments by corporations; however, overall IT investment by corporations tended to decrease due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, and to the economic recession.

Against this background, in the device business, the Group promoted a shift of human resources for expanding sales of overseas semiconductor manufacturer products. This was done in conjunction with the cancellation (as of June 30, 2020) of the dealership agreement with Renesas Electronics Corporation, which was previously a main supplier. The Group also strove to make drastic transitions to our profit structure through efforts such as developing new products and business models based on items related to in-vehicle systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and the internet of things (IoT). In the solution business, aiming to establish a robust platform for future growth, the Group committed resources to reinforcing its cloud business, centered on Sanshin Data Center, while bolstering initiatives to expand its number of customer platforms.

Business performance in the consolidated first quarter under review was as follows. Net sales were ¥21,758 million (down 19.7% year-on-year). Operating loss was ¥80 million (against operating profit of ¥247 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year), impacted by a worsened gross profit on sales, despite reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses, while ordinary loss was ¥61 million (contrasting with ordinary profit of ¥218 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year). Net loss attributable to shareholders of parent company was ¥166 million (compared with a loss of ¥54 million posted for the same period in the previous year), caused by a temporary drawdown of deferred tax assets due to deduction in the consolidated first quarter under review of deductible temporary difference in association with the attribution period of allowance for bonuses to employees, etc., despite recording extraordinary profits due to the sale of a portion of strategically held shares.

The operating results for each business segment are as follows:

Device segment

In the device business segment, our leading products are semiconductors (including system LSIs, microcomputers, LCD driver ICs and memory) and electronic components (including connectors, capacitors and circuit boards). These products are sold mainly to electronics manufacturers. We also provide technical support such as software development and module development.

In the consolidated first quarter under review, volume business contracted year-on-year, while the core device business and strategic device business declined due to stagnated production activities at customers and suppliers in conjunction with the spread of COVID-19. Net sales were ¥19,364 million (down 19.2% year-on-year). Segment loss was ¥143 million (contrasting with segment profit of ¥59 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year) due to a decrease in gross profit on sales, despite reduced selling, general and administrative expenses.

Solution segment

In the solution business segment, we provide the optimal ICT infrastructure to each customer by combining network devices, security products, Line-of-Business systems, clouds, and data centers. Furthermore, we provide integrated services in all phases of design, construction, operation, and maintenance while supporting technology that continually evolves through revolutionary technology such as AI and IoT, and through cloud native.

Sanshin Electronics Co., Ltd. (8150) 1Q Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021

In the consolidated first quarter under review, although the impact of the spread of COVID-19 was less than that of the device business, sales decreased in all business units when compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, which was overall a strong period. Net sales were ¥2,393 million (down 23.5% year-on- year). In terms of profit, the improved gross profit margin was insufficient to cover the decrease in net sales, and segment profit was ¥82 million (down 48.0% year-on-year).

1. Explanation of Financial Position (Assets)
   As of June 30, 2020, assets decreased ¥2,869 million compared with March 31, 2020, to ¥70,790 million. This was mainly attributable to a ¥3,048 million decrease in consumption taxes receivable, a ¥2,679 million decrease in notes and accounts receivable-trade, a ¥2,013 million increase in merchandise inventories, and a ¥706 million increase in cash and deposits.
   (Liabilities)
   As of June 30, 2020, liabilities decreased ¥1,670 million compared with March 31, 2020, to ¥29,959 million. This was mainly attributable to a ¥2,366 million decrease in notes and accounts payable-trade and a ¥700 million increase in short-term loans payable.
   (Net Assets)
   As of June 30, 2020, net assets decreased ¥1,199 million compared with March 31, 2020, to ¥40,830 million. This was mainly attributable to a ¥1,229 million decrease in retained earnings, a ¥67 million decrease in foreign currency translation adjustment, and a ¥93 million increase in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities.
2. Explanation of Forecasts for Consolidated Business Performance and Other Future Prospects

The spread of COVID-19 continues to cause strong uncertainty and make it difficult to forecast the future. However, the emergency declaration has been lifted and economic activities are gradually resuming. As such, the Group announced the following forecast for consolidated business performance in the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, which was previously undisclosed. The forecast values are based on business progress until the first quarter of the Group and on information which is currently available.

However, the Group has decided to continue to postpone the announcement for the full-term business performance forecast of the March 2021 term due to significant fluctuations in the Group's business performance caused by the future conditions of COVID-19 and related response measures in each country. The Group will disclose this forecast once a rational estimate of the business performance becomes possible.

Furthermore, for dividends, while aiming for a consolidated payout ratio of 50%, our basic policy is to decide on dividends while considering a balance of return to shareholders, investment for acquiring growth opportunities, maintenance of internal reserves for enabling sustainable growth, and improvement of capital efficiency. Based on this policy, in regards to the previously unannounced second quarter dividend forecast of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, we announced the following dividend based on the forecasted amount of net profit attributable to shareholders of parent company in the consolidated first half period. Also, we plan to determine and announce the year-end dividend forecast together with the full-term business performance forecast.

For details, please refer to the "Notice Regarding Announcement of Business Forecast and Dividend Forecast" announced today.
