Note: From the beginning of the fiscal year, sales discounts, previously included as non-operating expenses, are deducted from net sales. As a result, the Company has determined that year-on-year comparisons of net sales and operating income may be misleading. Accordingly, the percentage of year-on-year changes in net sales and operating income are not indicated in the above table. (Ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent remain unchanged.) If the figures for the previous fiscal year were on the same basis as for the current fiscal year, net sales for the first quarter would increase 9.1% and operating income would increase 1.4%.

1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Results for the Current Period

(1) Explanation on operating results

In the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Japanese economy remained in a severe situation as the previous recovery phase stagnated due to the spread of a new variant of COVID-19 from January onwards. Looking ahead, there are many risks and uncertainties, such as soaring raw material and energy prices, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In the domestic market, the spread of COVID-19 in regional cities led to a decrease in store visits, which had an impact, although there were signs of a recovery in demand due to the resumption of events. Although there was no significant negative impact in urban areas, sales grew moderately compared to the previous fiscal year, when consumption for beauty was strong.

In the overseas markets, China continued to face a difficult situation, with sales declining on a local currency basis due to the impact of the zero-COVID policy lockdown. In other major countries such as the U.S. and South Korea, both hair care products and hair coloring products performed well.

As a result of the above, consolidated net sales for the first quarter of the current fiscal year were 9,635 million yen, operating income was 1,496 million yen, ordinary income was 1,633 million yen (up 8.7% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 1,166 million yen (up 6.9% year on year).

Note: From the beginning of the fiscal year, sales discounts, previously included as non-operating expenses, are deducted from net sales. As a result, the Company has determined that year-on-year comparisons of net sales and operating income may be misleading. Accordingly, the percentage of year-on-year changes in net sales and operating income are not indicated. (Ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent remain unchanged.) If the figures for the previous fiscal year were on the same basis as for the current fiscal year, net sales for the first quarter would increase 9.1% and operating income would increase 1.4%. Please refer to the Financial Results Presentation Materials for details.

(2) Explanation on financial position

Total assets at the end of the first quarter under review decreased 916 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 47,321 million yen.

Current assets decreased by 1,159 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 23,741 million yen. The main factors for the change were decreases of 2,161 million yen in cash and deposits, and 503 million yen in notes and accounts receivable-trade, and increases of 1,192 million yen in merchandise and finished goods, and 346 million yen in raw materials and supplies.

Non-current assets increased by 242 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 23,579 million yen. Current liabilities decreased by 1,473 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 5,836 million yen. The main factors for the change were decreases of 1,251 million yen in accounts payable-other and 926 million yen in income taxes payable, and an increase of 530 million yen in accounts payable-trade.

Non-current liabilities increased by 3 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 734 million yen.

Net assets increased by 552 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 40,750 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase of 708 million in foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the depreciation of the yen.

As a result, the equity ratio changed from 83.3% at the end of the previous fiscal year to 86.1%. Net assets per share based on the total number of shares issued at the end of the fiscal year were 1,253.42 yen, compared to 1,236.41 yen at the end of the previous fiscal year.

(3) Explanation on forward-looking statements including consolidated operating forecasts

There is no change from the previous forecast (announced on February 10, 2022) for the full fiscal year.

Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19, the Company will promptly announce revisions to its consolidated earnings forecasts in the event that future changes, such as delays in the timing of convergence, require revisions to its consolidated earnings forecasts.
