1.Qualitative information on quarterly financial results
- Overview of operating results
- Overview of 3rd quarter
In the business of supporting acquisition of license qualifications, tuition fees are paid by the student upon application for a particular course. This constitutes net sales on a cash basis. Upon payment, the entire amount of tuition received is credited to advances received (liability) and reduced to recognize net sales on an accrual basis in the relevant accounting periods in which the service is provided to the student. While net sales recorded in the income statement are net sales on an accrual basis, for business management purposes we attach great importance to growth in net sales on a cash basis.
In the current period, net sales on a cash basis decreased 1.8%, or by ¥269 million, year on year to ¥14,459 million. Net sales on an accrual basis after adjustment of advances received decreased 3.9%, or by ¥579 million to ¥14,369 million.
Cost of sales increased 0.6%, or by ¥55 million year on year to ¥9,149 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.5%, or by ¥27 million year on year to ¥5,542 million. In total, an operating loss of ¥321 million was recorded (compared with an operating profit of ¥341 million in the same term last year).
Non-operating income of ¥15 million was recorded, including interest income of ¥5 million, gain on sale of investment securities of ¥3 million and commission income of ¥4 million. Non-operating expenses of ¥47 million were posted including interest expenses of ¥24 million, commission expenses of ¥5 million and share of loss of entities accounted for using equity method of ¥3 million. As a result, an ordinary loss of ¥353 million was recorded (compared with an ordinary profit of ¥352 million in the same term last year).
In the current period, gain on liquidation of investment securities of ¥13 million was posted as extraordinary income and loss on sale and retirement of non-current assets of ¥4 million and loss on valuation of investment securities of ¥6 million were posted as extraordinary losses. As a result, a loss of ¥235 million was recorded (compared with a profit of ¥205 million in the same term last year). Loss attributable to owners of parent of ¥236 million was posted (compared with a profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥204 million in the same term last year).
Quarterly results of TAC Group are as shown below. Net sales before adjustment of advances received represent net sales totaling the amount paid upon registration. Net sales after adjustment of advances received represent net sales after allocating the amount paid upon registration to corresponding periods in accordance with provision of educational services.
License examinations covered by our educational courses have some notable features including (i) examinations of Certified Public Accountant and Certified Public Tax Accountant, our flagship, implemented from spring to autumn (1st to 3rd quarters) and (ii) registration to Public Officer courses, whose main clients are university students, concentrating in spring to summer (1st to 2nd quarters). Accordingly, registration for educational courses in the 4th quarter (net sales before adjustment of advances received) tends to be weaker compared to other quarters. Meanwhile, operating expenses including rent expenses, instructors' fees and advertising costs are allocated evenly to each month, causing no variance in quarterly results.

Personal Education
Since COVID-19 was reclassified to Class 5 in May 2023, business people are showing an increased willingness to learn as their daily lives are returning to pre-COVID conditions. Accordingly, applications for our educational courses for certification are picking up. On the other hand, private companies continued to actively recruit young people, and students' motivation to obtain qualifications and their desire to become public officers remained weak. As a result, sales on a cash basis for this segment as a whole declined compared to the previous year. The Certified Public Tax Accountant course has continued to show strong performance, benefiting from the revision of the examination system and the reform of the tax system, etc. Real estate-related courses such as Real Estate Appraiser, Real Estate Transaction Agent, and Architects and Building Engineers have also recovered and remained steady since the beginning of the current third quarter. IT Specialist course, which continue to be supported by high IT-related demand, and educational courses aimed mainly at business people, including Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant, Labor and Social Security Attorney, Judicial Scrivener, and Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist, also remained strong. Meanwhile, sales of educational courses mainly for college students, including Certified Public Accountant and Public Officer, declined year on year, and Bookkeeping and US Certified Public Accountant courses remained weak. Operating expenses such as instructors' fees, outsourcing expenses related to production of educational materials and rent expenses decreased 0.5% year on year to ¥8,287 million. Overall, net sales in this segment on a cash basis decreased 2.5% year on year to ¥7,604 million, and an operating loss on a cash basis of ¥683 million was recorded (an operating loss on a cash basis of ¥525 million was recorded in the same term last year).

Corporate Training
Our corporate training programs have continued to perform well in the current third quarter. In terms of trends by license area, programs in Financial Services & Real Estate, our flagship area, Finance & Accounting, IT & International area as well as programs related to electricity and equipment remained strong with sales exceeding those in the same period last year. In the previous second quarter, in-university seminars were weak compared to the same term last year due to the timing of the implementation of training programs. However, the negative impact of this decline has largely been overcome and sales in the current third quarter were in line with the previous year. Sales in business at affiliated schools whose main clients are individual customers residing in those areas decreased by 7.0% year on year. Provision of educational content to colleges in local cities marked sales growth of 2.7%. Meanwhile sales of training programs consigned by local governments decreased by 2.3% year on year. Operating expenses increased 2.3% year on year to ¥2,685 million. In total, net sales of this segment on a cash basis increased 2.9% year on year to ¥3,502 million and operating profit on a cash basis increased 4.8% year on year to ¥816 million.

Publishing
We have been proceeding with our business under a dual framework of "TAC Publishing" and "W Seminar" of Waseda Management Publishing Co., Ltd., which is our subsidiary (hereafter referred to as "W Publishing").
As for the publishing business in the current third quarter (October-December), its performance has recovered and both sales and profits were higher than in the same period last year. However, the momentum of the current quarter was not enough to offset the decline in sales in the first and second quarters, and sales in the current period (April- December) were lower than in the same term last year. Among the books for qualification exams, Certified Public Tax Accountant, Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant, Architects and Building Engineers and Securities Analyst published by TAC Publishing, and Judicial Scrivener and Certified Administrative Procedures Legal Specialist published by W Publishing showed growth year on year. Meanwhile, books for Bookkeeping, Real Estate Transaction Agent, Licensed Strata Management Consultant and Financial Planner were lower year on year. Travel guides remained strong in the third quarter, driven by travel demand. Operating expenses increased 1.9% year on year to ¥2,438 million. As a result, net sales of this segment decreased 5.6% year on year to ¥2,941 million and operating profit decreased 30.5% year on year to ¥503 million.

Manpower Business
As for the introduction and dispatch business of accounting personnel assumed by TAC Profession Bank, our subsidiary, demand for accounting personnel in audit firms, tax accountant corporations and private companies remained steady and advertising and introduction business continued its strength from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, sales in the dispatch business declined compared with the same term last year. As to the introduction and dispatch business of medical office staffing and nurses assumed by Medical Office Staffing Kansai Co., Ltd., sales declined year on year in the first quarter due to the decline in COVID19-related business. Sales then started to recover in the second quarter, a trend that has continued in the current third quarter, resulting in sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year to remain at the same level as last year. However, operating profit decreased due to the impact of higher operating expenses, such as personnel costs. As a result, net sales of this segment decreased 1.2% year on year to ¥440 million and operating profit decreased 6.3% year on year to ¥96 million.
