At the same time, we will expand our business domain into the healthcare field and promote support for efforts to provide total care for diseases, from prevention to diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

[Consolidated operating results for the third quarter]

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 has caused social instability and there continues to be concern about the impact on our business, but the impact on our Group through the third quarter of the current consolidated fiscal year has been minimal.

In the third quarter of the current fiscal year, the results significant increased over the same period previous year, mainly due to significant growth in the Healthcare Solutions segment, including vaccine development and vaccination support services for new coronavirus infections. Sales were ¥78,367 million (up 32.5% from the same period of the previous year), operating income was ¥9,280 million (up 159.9% from the same period of the previous year), ordinary income was ¥10,440 million (up 179.6% from the same period of the previous year), and net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company was ¥5,932 million (up 205.2% from the same period of the previous year).

Future Outlook

The outlook for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, incorporates the outlook for future work related to COVID-19 and the impact of the situation in Ukraine on our business, based on information available at this time.

For COVID-related operations, we expect therapeutic drug and vaccine development projects will continue, and the number of inquiries from local governments are expected to increase due to another wave of COVID.

The situation in Russia and Ukraine has no direct impact on our business, as we do not operate any business bases in either country. The impact of the situation on our business is expected to be limited, although there will be price increases in energy, raw materials, packaging materials, and other items.

Based on the above, we have revised upward our full-year forecasts for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, to net sales of ¥ 106,000 million, operating income of ¥ 8,600 million, ordinary income of ¥ 9,200 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of the company of ¥ 4,500 million, respectively, in light of continued strong performance in vaccine development and vaccination support services for new coronavirus infection during the first half of the current fiscal year.
