  1. Explanation of Operating Results

During the three months ended May 31, 2022 (March 1, 2022 to May 31, 2022), the Japanese economy saw personal consumption improving gradually, as the number of new COVID-19 cases declined and priority preventative measures were lifted completely in late March. Still, the economic outlook remained uncertain primarily owing to the surge in raw material prices and the rapid depreciation of the Japanese yen.

Under such a business environment, the Company has made continued efforts to strengthen EC sales ever since COVID-19 began spreading, while at the same time working toward becoming a "proposal- based lifestyle business for discerning customers." As a result of these measures, net sales in the Apparel Business increased by ¥5,267 million year on year to ¥25,228 million and net sales in the Miscellaneous Goods/Accessories Business increased by ¥2,701 million year on year to ¥13,925 million.

As a result of the above, net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2022 increased by ¥7,973 million year on year to ¥39,183 million. In terms of profit, operating profit increased by ¥2,629 million year on year to ¥4,423 million, ordinary profit increased by ¥2,803 million year on year to ¥4,561 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent increased by ¥2,039 million year on year to ¥3,069 million.

The Company has applied the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020) and other standards from the beginning of the period under review, with the result that net sales for the period were lower than they would have been using the previous accounting method by ¥878 million (¥823 million for the Apparel Business and ¥54 million for the Miscellaneous Goods/Accessories Business), but that operating profit, ordinary profit, profit before income taxes, and profit attributable to owners of parent remained the same. For details, please refer to "2. Consolidated Financial Statements, (3) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Changes in Accounting Policies) (available in the original Japanese version only)" and "3. Additional Information, (1) Sales Results by Segment."

  1. Explanation of Financial Position (Assets)
    Current assets increased by ¥4,393 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to increases in notes and accounts receivable - trade by ¥4,108 million and merchandise and finished goods by ¥783 million, respectively, despite a decrease in cash and deposits by ¥906 million.
    Non-current assets increased by ¥1,441 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, due primarily to an increase in buildings and structures by ¥1,097 million.
    (Liabilities)
    Current liabilities increased by ¥4,380 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to increases in notes and accounts payable - trade by ¥1,672 million, current portion of long-term borrowings by ¥210 million, provision for bonuses by ¥1,235 million, and other current liabilities by ¥2,034 million, despite a decrease in provision for point card certificates by ¥545 million.
    Non-current liabilities increased by ¥588 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, due primarily to increases in long-term borrowings by ¥333 million and asset retirement obligations by ¥365 million, despite a decrease in long-term lease obligations by ¥130 million.
