Factor
1) Sales
-The Company produced greater volumes of automotive frames due the overall increase in automotive production worldwide.

<Japan>
-Sales increased 13.7% year-on-year due to the greater volume of automotive frames the Company produced as a result of new vehicle launches from autumn and after, and the rise in demand created by last-minute automobile purchases before the consumption tax increased in Japan.

<Europe, North America>
-Sales increased 23.9% year-on-year, thanks to not only favorable currency translation buy also to the overall greater production volumes achieved by the Company as a result of increased automotive sales by its customers.

<China>
-Sales increased 37.7% year-on-year due to several factors: higher automotive demand, record-breaking production volumes by local subsidiaries, and favorable currency translation due the weak yen.

<Asia, Oceania>
-Sales increased 76.9% year-on-year due to several factors. In Thailand, the Company produced greater volumes of automotive frames as a result of higher automotive demand created by the sales-incentive program that was being conducted in the first half of the year, in spite of significant lower production volumes during the second half of the year as a result of the huge surge in demand during the first half. Production volumes in India were high. And the Company's sales activities were successful in winning new orders in the Asia/Oceania region,

2) Operating income
-Operating income fell 5.0% year-on-year in spite of increased sales. In Japan, this was the result of lower production volumes during the first half of the year, and due to cost increases incurred in the second half of the year, in spite of achieving higher production levels. In North America, the overall cost of production increased as a result of lower productivity for some products. And in Thailand, lower performance resulted from the end of the sales-incentive program that triggered strong demand in the first half.

Recent Development Outside Japan

<Thailand>
-The Company plans to double its production capacity at H-One Parts Sriracha Co., Ltd. (HPS), its production subsidiary in Chonburi, Thailand. HPS will establish an additional factory to its existing facility, planning to start operations on a new welding line by March 2015. The factory will also install a stamping machine in 2015. With this expansion, the company hopes to meet growing demand for stamping components from a number of Japanese automakers operating in southern Thailand. The Company's major customer, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is planning to increase its production capacity in the country by 50 percent, as it will open a new factory by 2015. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on January 27, 2014)

-The Company will increase the use of automated robots on the welding lines at its production base in Thailand. The company will introduce a total of 116 automatic welding robots in 2013 and 2014 to boost the number of machines working in the plant by 80% compared to 2012. In Thailand, labor-intensive production lines are more likely to impact profitability because they are susceptible to rising labor costs. Meanwhile, local demand for automotive components is growing as Japanese automakers expand  production in the country. Increasing automation in these plants allows the company to mitigate the impact of labor costs while ensuring higher productivity and capacity to meet these growing needs.(From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on July 3, 2013)

<China>
-The Company will strengthen its stamping capacity in Guangdong, China. JPY 2.7 billion will be invested in the expansion of its subsidiary's stamping plant in Qingyuan, Guangdong. The Qingyuan plant will introduce three new stamping machines including a large transfer press machine. These new machines will start operations in July 2015. The plant will also reinforce its welding lines. This project was started due to Honda's production increase in China and its consequent needs for high-strength, steel, body framework parts. H-one intends to increase its productivity with the synchronization of its production system with Honda's vehicle production. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on December 11, 2013)

<North America>
-The Company will start restructuring its production operation in North America. Its main customer Honda has been ramping up global vehicle exports from its U.S. plants, expanding the types and specifications of parts that need to be supplied locally. Due to this expansion, the Company's North American facilities need to deal with multi-products and increasing management costs. The company will review and optimize its production structure, including deployment of equipment, and accelerate steps to improve its operational efficiency to the same level in Japan. From FY2013, full-scale efforts will be made at the Ohio manufacturing facility where workload is particularly increasing. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on Apr. 4, 2013)
