1. Quarterly Qualitative Information on Business Results
- Qualitative Information on Business Results
In the first 3 quarters of the fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy showed signs of recovery in socio-economic activities due to the relaxation of activity restrictions caused by COVID-19 pandemic. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to concerns over a surge of COVID -19 new variant and an economic slowdown stemming from rising prices, including energy and soaring raw material prices, against the backdrop of the worsening situation in Ukraine and the ongoing depreciation of the yen.
The consumer finance industry's recovery trend continued as the number of new contracts at major companies increased year- on-year. Although interest repayment claims have been steadily decreasing, it still requires close monitoring as it is easily affected by changes in the external environment.
Under these circumstances, in order to realize AIFUL Group's management theme "Go (new) Standard -Deepening Customer Orientation-", the Company will focus on "diversification of business portfolio" through business diversification and strengthening overseas businesses, etc., and "utilization of digital technologies," such as IT technology analysis and in-house production of systems. At the same time, we will strive to expand assets by balancing "growth potential" and "profitability" and optimize management resources to maximize consolidated income, while responding to requests for interest repayment, which is one of our management issues.
For more than 50 years since its foundation, the AIFUL Group has used the Heart mark as a corporate symbol that symbolizes a sense of security and integrity. To upgrade to an image that is appropriate for a corporate stance of providing new value for the future in anticipation of the next 50 or 100 years, we revamped our VI (visual identity) and began using the new Art symbol and the Company logo on July 7, 2022.
(Overview of the results)
AIFUL Group's consolidated operating revenue for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 was 107,583 million yen (up 9.2% year on year). The principal components were 62,351 million yen in interest on loans (up 9.3% year on year), 15,294 million yen in revenue from the credit card business (up 10.3% year on year) and 12,532 million yen in revenue from the credit guarantee business (up 6.7% year on year). Operating expenses increased by 9,938 million yen, or 12.4% year on year to 89,828 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase in advertising expenses by 3,138 million or 38.1% year on year to 11,368 million yen and an increase in provision for allowance for doubtful accounts of 2,823 million yen or 10.9% year on year to 28,815 million yen.
As a result, AIFUL Group posted operating profit of 17,755 million yen (down 4.6% year on year) and ordinary profit of 18,320 million yen (down 3.4% year on year). Profit attributable to owners of parent stood at 16,869 million yen (down 7.1% year on year), reflecting a profit attributable to non-controlling interests of 435 million yen.
