AIN HOLDINGS INC. (9627) Summary of Financial Statements for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending April 30, 2022

1. Qualitative information on consolidated results for the period under review

(1) Consolidated operating results

During the first six months of the current fiscal year (May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021), the Japanese economy continued to face challenging conditions due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Despite signs of a pickup in the economy after the state of emergency and quasi-emergency measures were lifted throughout Japan at the end of September, the outlook remains uncertain.

In this economic environment, the Group put priority on ensuring the safety of patients, customers and employees and made concerted efforts to ensure the continued provision of healthcare and retail services, including vaccinating employees against COVID-19 through a workplace vaccination program and taking rigorous steps to prevent infection in pharmacies and stores. Working with local governments, the Japan Pharmaceutical Association and medical institutions, the Group also dispatched many pharmacists to support the safe and rapid rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in local communities.

In addition, in May 2021, we set fiscal 2026 targets for important issues that should be addressed by the Group (materiality) and started taking concrete steps towards the targets, including formulating a human rights policy and making preparations to disclose information in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Going forward, we will implement various initiatives to realize sustainability management that supports the Group's continued growth and creates social, environmental and economic value.

In the first six months of the fiscal year, net sales increased 5.2% year on year to ¥152,972 million, operating profit increased 47.1% to ¥5,776 million, ordinary profit increased 35.6% to ¥6,127 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent increased 26.9% to ¥3,338 million.

Financial results by business segment are as follows.

(Dispensing pharmacy business)

The Group is working to leverage the primary care capabilities of its pharmacists and dispensing pharmacies to help patients access medical services in their local community with peace of mind. Specifically, the Group is reinforcing pharmaceutical management and guidance and home-based healthcare, backed by integrated and continuous monitoring of patient medication data through cooperation with local medical service providers and the use of patient medication notebooks and other means.

In addition, as part of revisions to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act that came into effect from August 2021, dispensing pharmacies can now gain certification as community coordination pharmacies or specialist medical institution coordination pharmacies, depending on their functions. Going forward, the Group will further reinforce home-based healthcare services, increase coordination with various medical professionals and enhance specialist pharmacist training in order to contribute to local healthcare provision as a company that meets community pharmacy needs.

In business development, the Group is targeting further business expansion through a strategy of actively opening large pharmacies and using M&A deals that emphasize investment returns, while also improving pharmacy operating efficiency.

As a result, for the first six months of the fiscal year, the dispensing pharmacy business reported sales of ¥136,905 million, up 6.9% year on year, and segment profit of ¥10,491 million, up 25.3% due to recovery of prescription volume of existing dispensing pharmacies and steady growth of dispensing pharmacies opened last fiscal year.

During the first six months of the fiscal year, the Group opened a total of 33 dispensing pharmacies, including those acquired through M&A deals, closed four dispensing pharmacies and sold three, resulting in a total of 1,091.

(Cosmetic and drug store business)

The cosmetic and drug store business continued to face a challenging market environment due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Group continued to create appealing retail displays by strengthening product lineups and worked to improve convenience and service levels for customers using the official AINZ & TULPE WEBSTORE e-commerce site.

Targeting post-pandemic opportunities, the Group also pushed ahead with store openings in prime locations that are expected to attract customers.

As a result, for the first six months of the fiscal year, the cosmetic and drug store business reported an increase in sales of 4.6% year on year to ¥9,816 million, and segment loss was ¥1,125 million compared with the loss of ¥1,014 million a year earlier.

During the same period, the Group opened four AINZ & TULPE cosmetic and drug stores and closed one store, resulting in a total of 72 cosmetic and drug stores at the end of the second quarter.

(Other businesses)

Net sales from other businesses decreased 21.2% year on year to ¥6,297 million and segment loss was ¥121 million compared with the loss of ¥435 million a year earlier.

The Company has applied the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020),

etc. from the beginning of the first quarter. For more details, please refer to "2. Quarterly consolidated financial statements and major notes, (4) Notes on quarterly consolidated financial statements, (Changes in accounting policies) and (Segment information, etc.).

(2) Consolidated financial position

The balance of total assets at the end of the second quarter increased by ¥6,779 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥210,442 million. That mainly reflected a decline in notes and accounts receivable, outweighed by increases for cash on hand and in banks and for merchandise.

The balance of liabilities increased ¥6,806 million to ¥94,632 million.

The balance of short- term and long-term borrowings decreased by ¥2,054 million to ¥9,912 million.

Total net assets decreased by ¥26 million to ¥115,810 million and the shareholders' equity ratio decreased 1.8 percentage points to 55.0%.

(Cash flows)

In the first six months of the fiscal year, cash and cash equivalents ("cash") increased by ¥3,422 million from the previous fiscal year end to ¥58,432 million.

Cash flows from each activity and their relevant factors are as follows.

During the first six months of the fiscal year, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥17,314 million, compared with ¥6,441 million provided in the same period a year earlier. The main cash inflows were profit before income taxes of ¥6,064 million, depreciation of ¥2,117 million and amortization of goodwill of ¥2,055 million. The main cash outflow was income taxes paid of ¥1,907 million.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥8,261 million, compared with ¥3,759 million used in the same period a year earlier. The main use of cash was ¥3,590 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled ¥5,630 million, compared with cash provided of ¥5,702 million in the same period a year earlier. The main uses of cash were a net repayment of ¥2,093 million from short-term and long-term borrowings repayment and proceeds, ¥1,948 million for cash dividends paid and ¥1,400 million for the purchase of treasury shares.

(3) Forecast of consolidated financial results and other forward-looking information

There are no changes to the Group's consolidated financial forecasts for the first six months or the fiscal year ending April 30, 2022, which were released on June 4, 2021.
