(Notes) 1. Revisions to earnings forecast announced recently: None

2. Beginning with the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023, the Company will adopt Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29), etc. The consolidated earnings forecast above is based on this standard. Since operating revenue has been affected by the adoption of this standard, we have not shown the percentage change compared with the previous period. Operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent have not been affected by the application of the standard. Estimating results for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023 before the adoption of this standard, we expect operating revenue to increase 13.3%.

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Financial Performance

  1. Explanation of Operating Results

1) Explanation of consolidated results of operations

AEON MALL Co., Ltd., creating the future of community living as we pursue our basic principle that the customer comes first. Under this management philosophy, is a Life Design Developer (Note) we defined our corporate activities as Heartful Sustainable.

In this way, we contribute to the development and revitalization of communities and society as a corporate citizen, striving to achieve sustainable societies through various initiatives.

We develop malls localized to the characteristics of each community we serve in Japan and around the world, contributing to better individual lifestyles and community growth. Through efforts in co-creation with customers, communities, partner companies, shareholders, and investors, we will continue to provide solutions to regional and social issues, establishing our position through social infrastructure functions to be central facilities for local communities.

(Note) Our definition of Life Design extends beyond the framework of the shopping mall. Life Design addresses functions associated with different customer life stages, including not only shopping, but also interaction with other people, cultural development, and other features contributing to future lifestyles.

We recorded higher revenue and profit for the nine months ended November 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the previous consolidated fiscal year. Operating revenue amounted to ¥294,600 million (+26.3% year on year), while operating income amounted to ¥32,499 million (+14.6%) and ordinary income amounted to ¥26,624 million (+12.1%). Extraordinary losses included losses of ¥2,040 million (¥3,663 million in the cumulative consolidated third quarter of the previous fiscal year) due to COVID-19, recorded as fixed costs during the temporary closure period. We also recorded an impairment loss of ¥1,731 million yen (¥613 million in the cumulative consolidated third quarter of the previous fiscal year) due to the decision to scrap and build certain aging facilities, as well as provision for loss on store closings of ¥2,017 million (no provision in the cumulative consolidated third quarter of the previous fiscal year) and loss on retirement of fixed assets in the amount of ¥2,468 million (¥496 million in the cumulative consolidated third quarter of the previous fiscal year) in connection with domestic mall revitalization work. As a result, income before income taxes and other adjustments amounted to ¥17,932 million (-11.0% year on year). In addition, total income taxes increased ¥3,755 million year on year, mainly due to the recording of deferred tax assets in the third quarter of the previous consolidated fiscal year in connection with the absorption-type merger of our subsidiary, OPA Co., Ltd. As a result, net income attributable to owners of parent decreased to ¥10,428 million (-36.6% year on year).

Operating revenue, operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company were +22.5%, -23.1%,-27.6%, and -55.6% compared to the results recorded during the third quarter of the consolidated fiscal year ended February 28, 2020, which was not impacted by COVID-19 ("FY2019" below).
