The Group's consolidated net sales for the 72nd term amounted to 2,380 million ven, a decrease of 3,6% year on the Japanese market, we expanded sales activities centering on capturing demand for semiconductor equipment, which has increased due to the global shortage of conductors, and demand for products related to the Robot Hand, which comes on the back of trends toward labor reduction and automation in production facilities due to worker es. As a result, the Company's net sales amounted to 1,691 million yen, a decrease of 3.4% year on year. Overseas, in the South Korean market, the semiconductor tor entered a phase of inventory adjustment following the reduction in special demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the uncertainty increased surrounding exports of semiconductors to China and the production of semiconductors in local factories. As a result, sales in the South Korean market decreased 10.7% year on year to 407 million yen. In the Chinese market, capital investment was on a recovery track due to the bottoming out of personal consumption and the rebound in industrial production, despite lockdowns in various cities due to the Zero COVID policy and the sudden surge in infections following the relaxation of restrictions. As a result, sales in the Chinese market decreased 11.8% year on year to 115 million yen. In other areas, the Group actively launched production of automobile-related equipment and food-related equipment in Thailand, while in neighboring countries, demand grew for maintenance parts in response to semiconductor capital ■ Sales distribution by region ■ Operating income (milion yen) ■ Ordinary income (milion yen) investment and expanded production of electronic components. In addition, our U.S. subsidiary engaged in the expansion of sales activities at existing stores. As a result, sales increased 26.8% year on year to 166 million yen. In terms of profitability, consolidated ordinary income rose 12.4% year on year to 647 million yen while profit attributable to owners of parent increased 13.9% year on year to 458 million yen due to steady capital investment in semiconductor equipment and electronic equipment and firm demand for related maintenance, as well as the effects of reductions in fixed and manufacturing costs.

Demand is forecast to continue to rise for vacuum pads, our main product. Therefore, with respect to these vacuum pads and against the backdrop of demand for automation in all types of production facilities, we will promote the automation of production processes, improve production efficiencies, and work to ensure stable quality and reduced costs. Furthermore, in response to the growing demand for robots in recent years, we will continue working on initiatives aimed at the future, such as the development of the Robot Hand, which utilizes the Company's vacuum absorption technology, the development of environmentally- friendly electric products, and the development of products for the food sector.
