(1) Explanation on business results

Forward-looking statements in the text are our estimation as of the end of the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Major initiatives during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023

The normalization of social and economic activities has progressed with in-person sporting events having truly reopened since the beginning of the year and people were able to move freely for the first time in several years.

Net sales were ¥448.1 billion recording the highest ever for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and increased year on year in all regions and categories. By region, net sales for ASICS JAPAN Corp. in Japan region increased by 35.6% capturing inbound demand as well as enjoying rapid growth of the Core Performance Sports category, especially working shoes and basketball shoes. In the Greater China region, responding flexibly to local needs through continuing to implement a local oriented strategy, Performance Running and SportStyle categories performed well, and net sales increased by 28.8%. In Southeast and South Asia regions, not only India, which continues to perform well, but also Malaysia and Indonesia were the regions recording large revenue growth. Net sales continued to grow steadily in most of the regions during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Despite deteriorating foreign exchange rates in purchasing goods, the gross margin improved by

1.2 points year on year to 51.2% due to optimizing selling prices, improving the sales channel mix and so on.

Operating income was ¥55.8 billion, the highest ever for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased by 54.8% year on year. As a result of lowering Selling, General and Administrative expenses ratio due to continued controlling Selling, General and Administrative expenses as well as effects of sales increase, operating income ratio improved significantly to 12.5% from 9.9% of the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥40.2 billion, also the highest ever for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Based on the progress of strong performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have opted to upwardly revise our annual consolidated business results forecast. In addition, the year-end dividend forecast has been revised to 35 yen per share, taking into consideration the overall performance and cash flow situation for the current fiscal year. As a result, the annual dividend forecast has been revised upward to 60 yen per share, a further increase from the record- high annual dividend forecast of 44 yen per share at the beginning of the fiscal year.

  • Digital
    With the continued increase in OneASICS members (increasing by 32.6% year on year to around 8.82 million members), EC sales grew by 35.4% year on year to ¥76.5 billion. EC sales have shown steady growth accompanied by an increasing number of OneASICS members. We will continue promoting efforts to gain more direct touchpoints with runners as well as more OneASICS members for further expanding the running ecosystem.
  • Running Ecosystem
    ASICS RUN TOKYO MARUNOUCHI, a comprehensive store with a run station located in Tokyo's Marunouchi district, was recently renovated and reopened in August. The store is conveniently located with easy reach of the Imperial Palace, a popular running spot. With the

3

store's reopening, ASICS RUN TOKYO MARUNOUCHI aims to provide a complete range of running-related services, including analysis and diagnosis of foot shape and running style, purchase of shoes and sportswear, daily training support, race registration and post-race care.

  • At the Sydney Marathon held in Australia in September, we provided a new customer experience spanning the runners' activities from entry to post-race completion. Benefits provided for OneASICS members from entry completion through to race day included training plan suggestions, invitations to member communities and challenge plans, and goal-based product recommendations. After the race, we provided recovery services, video streaming of the finishing scenes, and other services. In addition to significant new OneASICS member acquisitions, online sales of event-related products were also significantly higher than the previous fiscal year's. We will continue such expansion of our running ecosystem and aim for further global development.

World Athletics Championships Budapest 23

The World Athletic Championships, which ASICS officially sponsored, was held in Budapest, Hungary in August, and the number of ASICS sponsored athletes participating in the event increased significantly from 40 in the previous event to 92. Athletes wearing ASICS' METASPEED series were active in this competition, with Mohamed Katir of Spain winning a silver medal in the 5000m and Fred Kerley of the U.S. winning a gold medal in the 4x100m relay. The percentage of runners wearing ASICS shoes in the men's and women's marathons was also significantly higher than for the previous event, at 18.6% (in-house research).

• Core Performance Sports

Net sales increased by 48.9% year on year to ¥61.0 billion driven by tennis shoes and working shoes. Sales of tennis shoes increased significantly by 52.7% year on year to ¥20.0 billion.

At the U.S. Open Tennis Championships held from August to September, Novak Djokovic, who has a footwear contract with ASICS, won the 24th Grand Slam singles title of his career, tying for the record number of Grand Slam titles wins across men's and women's tournaments. The signature model worn by the player, "COURT FF 3 NOVAK" is a shoe combining stability and speed for maximum on-court performance.

• Onitsuka Tiger

  • Net sales increased by 40.8% year on year to ¥44.8 billion due to significant growth in the

    Japan region, capturing inbound demand, as well as in other regions including Southeast and South Asia. In addition, category profits more than doubled year on year, partially due also to the effects of selling price controls.

  • The brand opened the world's first concept store in Ginza in August specializing in its Yellow Collection, which uses a new logo with bold lettering. The concept store is adorned with this new logo and features a modern design with the entire building resembling a yellow box. Ginza is a district that continues to challenge itself while preserving its traditions, and through the concept store, we will present the worldview of the collection to the world.

    The Global Partnership Agreement with Chokai was realized as his passion for contributing to the diversity and inclusive society and his experience as a wheelchair basketball player coincided with ASICS's corporate vision.
  • Sustainability
    • ASICS launched "GEL-LYTE III CM 1.95" - the lightest greenhouse gas emissions ("emissions") sneaker across the product life cycle on the market, in the SportStyle category in September.
      The sneaker is based on "GEL-LYTE III OG", one of the iconic ASICS SportStyle sneakers, and features a combination of quality and design while minimizing emissions to just 1.95 kgCO₂e*1 by incorporating advanced solutions. At the release, "GEL-LYTE III CM 1.95" has the lowest emissions across its life cycle of any sneaker currently on the market.*2

*1 Based on a calculation conducted by ASICS and validated by SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) Japan, in accordance with ISO14067 standard in August 2022.

*2 Based on available industry data for life cycle emissions as of September 2023.

  • Awarded the top prize in the ESG category of the "Sustainable Japan Award 2023" (hosted by The Japan Times, Ltd., and supported by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Ministry of the Environment (MOE), and Financial Services Agency (FSA)). The "Sustainable Japan Award" is the fifth annual award given to companies, organizations, and individuals that have made advanced and sustainable efforts in their respective fields during the year, with the aim of communicating their activities both domestically and internationally. This award was given in recognition of our initiatives to address climate change throughout the value chain, including the aforementioned carbon footprint* labeling of our products such as "GEL-LYTE III CM 1.95", which has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions, and our collaboration with the supply chain through our green procurement policy.
    The Group is committed to pursuing sustainability on an ongoing basis.

*The amount of emissions is converted into a CO₂ amount and displayed.

  • ROA Tree Management
    ROA was 12.1%. Total assets, a component of ROA, increased from the end of the previous fiscal year, partly due to an increase by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, while gross margin improved year on year, mainly due to optimization of selling prices despite deteriorating foreign exchange rates in purchasing goods. The Selling, General and Administrative expenses ratio also

5

declined year on year as a result of ongoing control of Selling, General and Administrative expenses.

In addition, the number of Cash Conversion Cycle days improved to 168 days. The inventory turnover period improved by 18 days year on year and by 21 days from the end of the previous fiscal year.
