NPC Incorporated (6255) Financial Results for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending August 31, 2021

1. Qualitative Information Concerning Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended May 31, 2021

(1) Explanation of results of operations

During the nine months ended May 31, 2021, the Japanese economy continued to face a severe environment with weak consumer spending and employment situation despite the signs of recovery in capital expenditures and corporate earnings seen in the manufacturing industry. As for the global economy, COVID-19 continued to make it difficult to predict the future outlook.

Concerning the Machinery Business of NPC Group ("the Group"), the US photovoltaic (PV) industry, the main market of the Business, is growing steadily with support from policies of Biden administration and active engagement for renewable energy by states and companies. PV system installation for 2021 is forecasted to surpass the record of 2020. As for automation machines for other industries, capital expenditures are recovering in Japan in strong sectors such as the electronic parts industry.

As for the PV industry in Japan, to which the Environmental Business of the Group belongs, the Japanese government enhanced its target of greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and PV energy attracts attention for purposes such as in-house electricity generation because the time required for PV installation is shorter than other renewables. Also, there are growing needs in Japan and overseas for establishing an appropriate recycling method and processing structure for PV panels since a considerable volume of discarded PV panels is expected in the future. The needs for panel disassembly equipment are expected to grow especially in Europe as the volume of discarded PV panels has been already increasing in the area.

Under such circumstances, the consolidated net sales of the 3rd quarter were 4,569 million yen, 763 million yen increase year on year, which was mostly as forecasted. Operating income was 822 million yen, 453 million yen increase year on year, and ordinary income was 801 million yen, 433 million yen increase year on year. Net income attributable to owners of the parent was 576 million yen, 223 million yen increase year on year, which surpassed the forecast. This is due to the improvement in profit margin as well as selling, general and administrative expenses which were lower than the forecast.

The financial results by business segment are as follows: 1) Machinery Business

In the Machinery Business, the Group implemented upgrading, expansion, and installation work of the equipment for the manufacturing lines of a US PV manufacturer. It also booked the sales of automation machines mainly to the Japanese electronic parts industry. As a result, the sales were 4,322 million yen, 906 million yen increase year on year, which was mostly as scheduled. While the sales were achieved mostly in accordance with the forecast, profit margin improved due to cost reduction, and the operating income was 1,206 million yen, 571 million yen increase year on year.

2) Environmental Business

In the Environmental Business, the Group booked the sales of inspection service of PV power plants as scheduled. It also booked the sales of used PV panels, recycling of end-of-life PV panels, PV panel disassembly equipment and plant factory business. As a result, the sales were 246 million yen, 143 million yen decrease year on year, and operating income was 45 million yen, 92 million yen decrease year on year.

(2) Explanation of consolidated forecast and other forward-looking statements

The results of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 turned out to be higher than the forecast. However, the business forecasts for the full year are the same as the forecasts in the "Announcement on the Differences between Business Forecasts and Results for the First Half and Revision of Business Forecasts Both for FY2021" released on April 13, 2021 because the fourth quarter is forecasted to be inactive.
