Financial Summary for the First 2 Quarters of Fiscal 2023

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Results

(1) Explanation of Business Performance

In the first two quarters of fiscal 2023 (from April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022), despite the re- spread of COVID19 infection, the Japanese economy showed signs of recovery in socioeconomic activities due to the easing of activities and movement restrictions and other factors.

On the other hand, economy still remained in a harsh condition with such factors as exchange rate fluctuations with a rapid yen depreciation, the continued global shortage in supply of semiconductors and surging resource and energy prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine situation.

In such an environment, in regard to net sales, sales of data for in-car navigation systems in the automotive-related business decreased mainly due to the impact of automobile production adjustments, while sales of IoT-related solution services, etc. increased.

In terms of costs, there was an increase in cost of sales due to changes in the composition of sales, as well as increase in expenses for developing map databases to improve precision of location data.

In addition, expenses for sales activities also increased amid the trend of economic and social activities returning to normal.

As a result, the ZENRIN Group in the first two quarters of fiscal 2023 reported net sales of 25,929 million yen (increased 49 million yen, or up 0.2%, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year), operating loss of 985 million yen (downturn of 529 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year), ordinary loss of 982 million yen (downturn of 660 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year). In addition, loss attributable to owners of parent was 703 million yen (downturn of 623 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Please note that past net sales of the ZENRIN Group have shown trends of large seasonal fluctuations and sales concentrating in the fourth quarter.

It should be noted that, information by business segment is omitted because the ZENRIN Group's reportable segment is a single segment.

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

Total assets at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023 amounted to 74,455 million yen (decreased 4,708 million yen, or down 5.9%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year). This was mainly attributable to the decrease in notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets due to the effects of seasonal fluctuations.

Liabilities amounted to 27,466 million yen (decreased 2,951 million yen, or down 9.7%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year). This was mainly attributable to a decrease in accounts payable - trade due to payment and a decrease in income taxes payable due to tax payment.

Net assets amounted to 46,988 million yen (decreased 1,757 million yen, or down 3.6%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year). This was mainly due to the recording of loss attributable to owners of parent and dividends of surplus.

As a result, the ratio of equity to total assets at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 62.9% (up 1.6 points compared to the end of the previous fiscal year).

The following outlines the status of cash flows in the first two quarters of fiscal 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were 15,113 million yen (decreased 1,341 million yen, or down 8.2%, compared to the end of the previous fiscal year)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to 1,830 million yen (decreased 2,944 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year). This was attributable to loss before income taxes in the amount of 699 million yen, income taxes paid in the amount of 1,039 million yen, a decrease in trade payables in the amount of 910 million yen, and other factors of decrease being offset by a decrease in notes and accounts receivables in the amount of 4,027 million yen and other factors of increase.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 1,397 million yen (decreased 1,951 million compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year). This was mainly attributable to purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the amount of 2,747 million yen, despite proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment in the amount of 1,232 million yen.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 2,027 million yen (decreased 1,383 million yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year).

  1. Explanation of Forecast for Consolidated Results of Operations and Other Forward- Looking Statements
    The Company has decided to keep the full-year forecast for the fiscal 2023 announced on April 28, 2022, since there are many uncertainties in the environment surrounding ZENRIN group, such as automobile production adjustments due to global semiconductor supply shortages.
