JSP Corporation (7942) Third Quarter Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2024

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance(1) Explanation of Results of Operations
In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity has
been gradually alleviating. However, the global economy has been slowing down due to the prolonged Ukraine conflict,
escalating prices and monetary tightening to reduce inflation. There was a modest upturn of the Japanese economy
backed primarily by an increase in personal consumption, among other factors. This improvement was the result of therelaxation of pandemic restrictions following the shift of the disease to category 5 under the Infectious Disease Control
Law. Nevertheless, the economic outlook remains uncertain due to inflation, the negative effect of overseas demandon production and exports, and fluctuations in financial and capital markets.
The recovery of demand of the foamed plastics industry in Japan for the fisheries and agriculture sectors has lost
momentum because of inflation. Demand for the automobile sector has continued to recover because shortages ofsemiconductors and other parts have largely ended.
JSP is working to further increase its corporate value by implementing reform strategies aimed at expanding the value
we provide for both economic value and social value to our customers and for addressing social issues and fortifying
the management base. These goals are the basic concepts underlying the medium-term business plan, “Change forGrowth.” We are also placing priority on becoming more profitable, growing faster and implementing sustainability
management by promoting environmental conservation and the recycling of plastics.
Sales were higher than one year earlier mainly because of higher overseas sales volume and revisions of prices of JSP
products. The operating profit increased from one year earlier because of higher sales and cost reductions.
Net sales in the first nine months were 102,437 million yen, up 3.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Operating profit increased 177.5% to 6,426 million yen, ordinary profit increased 148.1% to 6,855 million yen andprofit attributable to owners of parent increased 155.3% to 5,386 million yen.
Results by business segment were as follows.
Extrusion Business
Sales of materials for household products, mainly STYRENPAPER, a foamed polystyrene sheet used in food packaging,decreased. This was mainly the result of lower sales volume for STYRENPAPER in the food tray category and forMIRABOARD, a material used for advertising displays.
Sales were lower than one year earlier for industrial products, including MIRAMAT, a foamed polyethylene sheet used
for industrial packaging materials and flat panel displays. Sales volume of value-added products are recovering but therecovery of demand is slower than anticipated. Sales of general-purpose products also decreased.
Sales of MIRAFOAM, an extruded board made of foamed polystyrene, and other construction and civil engineering
materials increased because of product price revisions and the higher sales volume of value-added products. The sales
volume of materials for fabrication in the building construction and housing markets increased from one year earlier,although the sales volume of materials used for civil engineering applications was unchanged.
Total sales in this segment were unchanged from one year earlier despite a lower total sales volume due to productprice revisions and other factors. Earnings increased despite the higher cost of utilities due to the higher sales volumeof value-added products and cost reductions.
As a result, extrusion business sales increased 0.7% to 32,219 million yen and operating profit increased 21.9% to1,947 million yen.
Bead Business
Sales of high-performance products, mainly ARPRO/P-BLOCK, an expanded polypropylene product manufactured
and sold worldwide, increased because of higher sales volume mainly due to strong performance of the non-automotive
sector.
In Japan, sales volume was about the same as one year earlier, the result of an increase in the automotive sector andlower sales volume of FOAMCORE, a hybrid molding product, and other products. In North America, sales volumeof returnable containers and other products increased, although there was a decline in the automotive sector. In South1

America, the sales volume in the automotive sector increased. In Europe, the sales volume in the HVAC and othersectors was higher, although the sales volume declined in the automotive sector. In China, the sales volume isrecovering in the automotive sector but was lower than the same period of the previous fiscal year when the sales
volume in the packaging materials sector was strong. In Taiwan, the sales volume in the packaging materials sector
decreased. In Southeast Asia, sales volume was about the same as one year earlier despite a decline in the packaging
materials sector.
Sales of expandable polystyrene bead products, chiefly STYRODIA, decreased mainly due to lower sales volume
because of decline in demand for these products in the fisheries and agriculture sectors.
Total sales in this segment increased because of higher sales volume of high-performance products and product pricerevisions, although the total sales volume was down. Earnings increased despite the higher cost of utilities andpersonnel expenses due to higher sales and cost reductions.
As a result, sales in the bead business increased 6.1% to 65,873 million yen and operating profit increased 297.7% to5,275 million yen.
OtherSales of general packaging materials decreased in Japan due to lower demand in the automotive parts transportationand other market sectors. In China, lower demand for packaging materials for many types of components resulted inlower sales.
As a result, sales in the other segment decreased 12.8% to 4,345 million yen and operating profit decreased 65.7% to52 million yen.
