We manufacture and sell a variety of plastic production and processing machinery, which are highly regarded by users around the world,
for a wide range of applications and purposes. Our product lineup in
this field includes pelletizers that manufacture plastic pellets; twinscrew extruders for compounding, reactive processing, dewatering,and devolatilizing; film and sheet equipment; and spinning extruders for synthetic fibers. We will promote the establishment of a structure oriented toward the “stock-type” business (recurring revenuebusiness model) through concerted efforts between manufacturing
and sales departments in the areas of product delivery and regular
maintenance services.
To respond to diverse market needs, we have established an
integrated development structure for products spanning from plastic manufacturing machines to processing machines that address
customers’ various issues and respond to market changes.

Orders totaled ¥175,757 million (US$1,585 million), down 5.6% from the previous
fiscal year, due mainly to decreases in plastic production and processing machinery
as well as FPD equipment.
Sales rose 2.8%, to ¥173,648 million (US$1,565 million), attributable primarily toincreases in sales of plastic production and processing machinery as well as molding machines.
Operating income was on par with the previous fiscal year, decreasing 0.4% to¥23,599 million (US$213 million). The slight decline resulted from a change in product sales composition offsetting an increase in sales.

Clad Steel Plates and Pipes
The Muroran Plant possesses Japan’s largest quadruple reversible
plate rolling machine, which enables rolling of ultra-thick, wide andlong steel plates of up to 350 millimeters thick, 4.8 meters wide, and20 meters long. Using advanced manufacturing technology, we now
mainly produce high-quality clad steel plates and clad steel pipes
using clad steel plates. All of our products are used in a wide range
of industrial applications in Japan and overseas, giving this businessa unique profile.

Orders totaled ¥34,123 million (US$307 million), down 20.7% year on year, due
mainly to a decrease in products for electronic devices and nuclear power plants.
Sales were up 13.7%, to ¥41,251 million (US$372 million). Despite a decrease insales of products for electronic devices and nuclear power plants, sales rose thanks
to an increase in clad steel plates and pipes.
Operating income amounted to ¥2,676 million (US$24 million), compared with
an operating loss of ¥1,019 million in the previous fiscal year, due mainly to anincrease in sales and a reduction in fixed costs.

TopicRebuilding of Steel and Energy Products Business
Under the assumption that the current market environment will persist for a long
period of time, the JSW Group’s Steel and Energy Products Business is under consideration for establishing a new company centered around the Muroran Plant in April
2020. The move is aimed at securing profitability at the current business compositionand scale while accelerating the profit structure reform and promoting efficiencies byeliminating redundant functions through a merger with an affiliated company.

Note: At the meeting of the Board of Directors held on April 24, 2019, the JSW Group resolved to withdraw from the manufacture and sales of wind power generators,
which were included in the Other Business. However, we will continue providing maintenance services for wind power generators.
