  • These quarterly financial statements are outside the scope of quarterly review by certified public accountants or audit corporations.
  • Explanation for the appropriate use of performance forecasts and other special notes:

In the six months ended September 30, 2023, net sales and operating income exceeded our forecasts due to an increase in automobile production as well as the positive effect of foreign exchange rates. Ordinary income also exceeded our forecast due to a foreign exchange gain resulting from the change in foreign exchange rates. While net income attributable to owners of parent exceeded our forecast, impairment losses and a loss on retirement of noncurrent assets were recorded in line with the revision of existing facilities in order to introduce new facilities with higher productivity, thereby promoting asset efficiency.

From the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 onward, it is expected that automobile production will remain generally robust globally and the positive effect of foreign exchange rates will continue. However, the impact of lower production in China is also expected to continue. Therefore, we made no changes to the consolidated business forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, announced on April 27, 2023.

The Company made these projections in forecasts based on currently available economic and business information; as such, these projections include certain risks and other uncertainties, and the Company does not intend to guarantee the achievement of these projections. Actual business performance may differ significantly from current projections resulting from various critical factors.

2. Matters concerning changes to reportable segments

Effective from the three months ended June 30, 2023, the accessories & devices products previously included in the Electronic Components Business is now reclassified into Automotive Equipment Business, and certain products utilizing ultraviolet lights also previously included in the Electronic Components Business is now reclassified into Applied Electronic Products Business.

The segment information for the six months ended September 30, 2022 above was prepared based on the method of classification after the revision.

  1. 3. Information concerning losses on impairment of noncurrent assets by reportable segment (Significant impairment loss on noncurrent assets)

    Losses on impairment of noncurrent assets were recorded in the "Automotive Equipment Business", the "Electronic Components Business", the "Applied Electronic Products Business", and for corporate assets which are not attributable to the reportable segments. The breakdown of the impairment losses for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was 978 million yen in the "Automotive Equipment Business", 870 million yen in the "Electronic Components Business", 0 million yen in the "Applied Electronic Products Business", and 17 million yen for corporate assets which are not attributable to the reportable segments.

  2. Significant Subsequent Events
    (Plan to make an affiliate accounted for by the equity method to a consolidated subsidiary and the establishment of a subsidiary by a subsidiary of the Company)
    The Company's Board of Directors, at a meeting held on October 31, 2023, resolved to, (a) make Thai Stanley Electric Public Co., Ltd. ("THS"), which is an affiliate accounted for by the equity method in Thailand, a consolidated subsidiary. Stanley Electric Holding Asia-Pacific Pte. Ltd. ("SEAP"), which is a subsidiary of the Company in Singapore, has an equity stake in THS. (b) In order to process related transactions, it was also resolved that SEAP will establish a subsidiary (a "New Investment Company") in Thailand. The details of the resolutions are as follows:
    1. Making THS a consolidated subsidiary
      1. Name and line of business of the acquired company Name: Thai Stanley Electric Public Co., Ltd.
        Line of business: Manufacture and sales of electric bulbs for automobiles, motorcycles, and other vehicles and lighting equipment
      2. Main reason for the business combination

THS has been our partner since its establishment in 1980, and is responsible for the development and manufacture of lamps for Japanese car manufacturers in Thailand. THS has grown along with the Thai automobile market, but competition has become increasingly severe, and reform is urgently needed.

As car manufacturers are promoting the shift to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Asia and Oceania, it is necessary to transform THS into a "lamp system manufacturer" capable of responding to the needs of car manufacturers at the same level and speed as the Company.

We also aim to further improve cost competitiveness by applying all our know-how to THS and strengthening each function.

To achieve this aim, we will make THS a consolidated subsidiary, and we will strive to achieve THS's further growth as a "hub for Asia and Oceania" under the Group philosophy of "One Stanley."

  1. Date of the business combination April 1, 2024 or after (plan)
  2. Legal form of the business combination Acquisition of shares for cash consideration
  3. Name of the company after the business combination No change
