1. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2022

(1) Explanation of Business Results

The Japanese government's Monthly Economic Report on the Japanese economy for the six months ended September 30, 2021 (April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021) states, "Concerning short-term prospects, the economy is expected to pick up, supported by the effects of various policies and improvement in overseas economies while taking measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and accelerating vaccinations. However, full attention should be given to a further increase in downside risks due to the trend of domestic and overseas infections and negative effects through the supply chains." It also states that firms' judgments on business conditions "show movements of picking up, although some severe aspects remain."

Fuji Media Holdings Group (the "Group"), as in the same period of the previous fiscal year, was affected by the lasting impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), including a drop in travel and tourism demand. However, the Group was able to improve its performance thanks to a recovery in advertising revenue and efforts to cut back on operating expenses.

Amid this economic environment, the consolidated net sales of the Group decreased overall during the six months ended September 30, 2021, down 2.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥241,503 million despite an increase in the Urban Development, Hotels & Resorts segment, as there was a decrease in the Media & Content segment.

In terms of earnings, operating income increased 138.8% year-on-year to ¥11,576 million, as there were revenue increases in both the Media & Content segment and the Urban Development, Hotels & Resorts segment. Recurring profit increased 97.3% year-on-year to ¥18,701 million and net income attributable to owners of the parent increased 151.8% year-on-year to ¥13,638 million due to a decrease in loss on COVID-19, which was reported under extraordinary loss in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, etc., net sales decreased ¥11,209 million, cost of sales decreased ¥9,872 million and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased ¥1,466 million, while operating income, recurring profit and income before income taxes increased ¥129 million, respectively.
