Investor Meeting Presentation for 2Q FY 3/2017 held on November 2, 2016

Second quarter net sales for the Machined Components business segment decreased by 12% from the same period last year and by 5% from the previous quarter, to 37.3 billion yen. Operating income declined by 11% from the same period last year and by 12% from the previous quarter, to 9.1 billion yen. The operating margin was 24.5%. This is mainly due to the impact of negative currency translation followed by negative factors in ball bearings and rod-ends / fasteners.
Sales of ball bearings decreased 6% quarter on quarter, to 22.3 billion yen. The external shipment volume hit another monthly record high of 181 million units in September, surpassing the previous record set in June, and reached an average of 171 million units per month for the quarter, making it 16 quarters of consecutive year-on-year growth. However, profits decreased compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to negative currency translation impacts in addition to product mix deterioration.
Sales of rod-ends and fasteners decreased 11% compared to the previous quarter, to 7.1 billion yen, and there was a decline in profits. In addition to the negative currency translation impacts, shipments decreased on decreased demand from the Japanese government. However, given the steady demand expected from the commercial aircraft industry as a whole, we would like to expand and strengthen this business unit by actively investing in mechanical parts with bearings.
Although sales of pivot assemblies increased 4% quarter on quarter, for a total of 7.9 billion yen, profits decreased slightly, mainly due to negative currency impacts. However, the HDD market picked up some steam started in the June quarter onward and our market share has grown further.
