ROHTO Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (4527) Financial Results for the Second Quarter of FY3/22

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

In the first half of the current fiscal year, the severe economic situation continued due to the impact of COVID-19. However, the numbers of infected and seriously ill people fell as the vaccination rate rose, and at the end of September the government decided to lift the state of emergency. While the future remains uncertain, the economy is expected to recover.

Under these circumstances, the Rohto Group has created the slogan of "Connect for Well-being," suggesting people around the world living energetically and happily each day, both physically and mentally, throughout the various stages of their lives. We are endeavoring to further increase corporate value. To this end, we are working toward the realization of the "Management Vision 2030".

In total, net sales rose sharply to 91,019 million yen. The impact of COVID-19 caused a sharp fall in sales in the same period of the previous year, but in the current period, despite the spread of new variants, there was a substantial increase in vaccination rate which enabled economic activities to restart. Consumer sentiment also showed the sign of recovery, resulting in a significant boost to sales.

Regarding profits, there was a sharp increase at all levels. Due to the significant increase in sales and efficient use of selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income, ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent increased to 13,771 million yen, 13,514 million yen and 10,756 million yen, respectively.

Note: Beginning with the first quarter of the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2022, the Company has applied the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29). As a result, the accounting treatment for revenue differs from the first half of the previous fiscal year. The rate of change from the prior first half was not given in the narrative. If we were to apply the new revenue recognition standard to the prior first half, the rate of change was as follows: sales rose 15.5%, operating income 36.7%, ordinary income 30.2%, and profit attributable to owners of parent 88.9% year-on-year. Sales and profits at all levels increased to all-time highs.

Results by reportable segment are as follows.

Japan

Sales to customers were 56,901 million yen.

Although the state of emergency was declared, sales of sunscreens, contact lens and contact lens care solution increased, and "Melano CC," "Deoco" and "Rohto V5 Grain" continued to perform well. Moreover, the OEM rapid test kit for the COVID-19 antigen aided sales growth.

In addition, Qualitech Pharma Co., Ltd. and Nitten Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. also contributed to the increase in sales. Segment profit (operating income) amounted to 9,359 million yen as a significant rise in sales absorbed the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Note: As described in the note for "(1) Explanation of Results of Operations," if we were to apply the new revenue recognition standard to the prior first half, sales rose 11.3% and operating income 32.0% year-on-year.

America

Sales to customers increased 6.3% year-on-year to 4,026 million yen.

With the numbers of the COVID-19 infected declining, people started to go out more often. As a result, sales of eye drops and "OXY," an acne treatment, progressed strongly.

Despite higher procurement costs for raw materials and supplies, segment profit (operating income) turned profitable at 147 million yen (compared with 88 million yen loss in prior first half) due to efficient use of selling, general and
