1. Qualitative Information on the First Half Consolidated Results
Upon the adoption of IFRS, the Ajinomoto Group has introduced "business profit” as a new profit level that will
better enable investors, the Board of Directors, and the Management Committee to grasp the core business
results and future outlook of each business while also facilitating continual evaluation of the Group’s business
portfolio by the Board of Directors and the Management Committee. “Business profit” is defined as sales and
share of profit of associates and joint ventures minus cost of sales, selling expenses, research and
development expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Business profit does not include other
operating income or other operating expenses.

(1) Overview of Operating Results


In the first half ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated sales increased 4.3% year-on-year,
or ¥28.1 billion, to ¥688.0 billion. This was due to increases in sales in the Seasonings and Foods segment
and the Frozen Foods segment largely resulting from increases in unit sales prices and the effect of currency
translation, despite a decrease in sales in the Healthcare and Others segment mainly owing to the impact of
lower sales of Functional Materials (electronic materials and others). Business profit increased 3.0% year-on-
year, or ¥2.2 billion, to ¥76.5 billion primarily due to the increases in sales in the Seasonings and Foods
segment and the Frozen Foods segment, despite the impact of lower sales in the Healthcare and Others
segment and other factors. Profit attributable to owners of the parent company totaled ¥46.4 billion, down
1.2% year-on-year, or ¥0.5 billion, primarily as a result of higher profit attributable to non-controlling interests
recorded compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Furthermore, the Company has revised the full-year consolidated performance forecast for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2024 announced on May 11, 2023 in light of recent trends in business performance and
other factors.
As a result of reviewing the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, the state of the economy, and other
factors under the current business environment, the forecast for sales is unchanged from the previous
forecast, despite some per-segment adjustments. The progress rate of sales against the performance
forecast is 47.0%. After review under the current business environment, based on the cost situation including
foreign exchange fluctuations and raw materials costs, as well as the impacts of sales increases in the
Seasonings and Foods segment and the Frozen Foods segment, and of the sales decline in the Healthcare
and Others segment, the forecast for business profit is unchanged from the previous forecast, despite some
per-segment adjustments. The progress rate of business profit against the performance forecast is 51.0%.
The forecast for profit attributable to owners of the parent company has been revised upward by ¥5.0 billion
from the previous forecast to ¥100.0 billion, mainly reflecting the impact from the transfer of former factory
land in consolidated subsidiary Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad. The progress rate of quarterly profit attributable
to owners of the parent company against the revised forecast is 46.5%. The forecast is based on an
exchange rate of ¥143 to US$1 (for the second half, a rate of ¥145 to US$1).
Please also refer to Notice of Revision to Full-Year Consolidated Performance Forecast for the Fiscal Year
Ending March 31, 2024 released today (November 6, 2023) for more details about the revision of the
consolidated earnings forecast.

3) Healthcare and Others
Healthcare and Others segment sales decreased 8.0% year-on-year, or ¥12.1 billion, to ¥139.5 billion,
owing to a decrease in sales of Functional Materials (electronic materials and others), and amino acids for
pharmaceuticals and foods as well as other factors. Segment business profit decreased 62.0% year-on-
year, or ¥17.9 billion, to ¥10.9 billion due to lower profit for both Functional Materials (electronic materials
and others) and Bio-Pharma Services & Ingredients.

Main factors affecting segment sales

to decreased sales of amino acids for pharmaceuticals and foods.
Functional Materials (electronic materials and others): Large

4) Other
In the Other segment, sales increased 5.7% year-on-year, or ¥0.3 billion, to ¥7.2 billion. Segment business

(2) Overview of Financial Position
As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated total assets stood at ¥1,644.8 billion, an increase of
¥133.0 billion from ¥1,511.7 billion at the end of the previous fiscal year on March 31, 2023. The main reasons
for this were an increase in assets owing to the effect of currency translation and increases in inventories and
cash and cash equivalents.
Total liabilities came to ¥771.6 billion, ¥82.8 billion more than the ¥688.7 billion at the end of the previous
fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in interest-bearing debt. Interest-bearing debt totaled ¥427.7 billion, an
increase of ¥91.2 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year, due to commercial papers, the issuance of
sustainability-linked bonds, and other.
Total equity as of September 30, 2023 was ¥50.1 billion more than at the end of the previous fiscal year,
mainly due to an increase in exchange differences on translation of foreign operations in conjunction with the
depreciation of the yen, despite a decrease in capital surplus associated with the purchase and retirement of
treasury stock. Equity attributable to owners of the parent company, which is total equity minus non-controlling
interests, totaled ¥812.5 billion, and the equity ratio attributable to owners of the parent company was 49.4%.

(3) Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Going Concern Assumption


Not applicable

Material Accounting Policies


The material accounting policies used to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements for the first half
are unchanged from the policies applied to the consolidated financial statements in the previous fiscal year.
Income taxes for this first half are calculated based on an estimation of the effective tax rate for the fiscal year.
In addition, the Company has determined that the Republic of Turkey, where one of its subsidiaries is located, is
in a hyperinflationary economy as defined by IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. However,
the standard has not been applied as its effect on the consolidated financial statements is insignificant.

Impact of Applying New Accounting Policies: No material impact
